public class Tree extends Composite
Instances of this class provide a selectable user interface object that displays a hierarchy of items and issues notification when an item in the hierarchy is selected.

The item children that may be added to instances of this class must be of type TreeItem.

Style VIRTUAL is used to create a Tree whose TreeItems are to be populated by the client on an on-demand basis instead of up-front. This can provide significant performance improvements for trees that are very large or for which TreeItem population is expensive (for example, retrieving values from an external source).

Here is an example of using a Tree with style VIRTUAL: 

  final Tree tree = new Tree(parent, SWT.VIRTUAL | SWT.BORDER);
  tree.setItemCount(20);
  tree.addListener(SWT.SetData, new Listener() {
      public void handleEvent(Event event) {
          TreeItem item = (TreeItem)event.item;
          TreeItem parentItem = item.getParentItem();
          String text = null;
          if (parentItem == null) {
              text = "node " + tree.indexOf(item);
          } else {
              text = parentItem.getText() + " - " + parentItem.indexOf(item);
          }
          item.setText(text);
          System.out.println(text);
          item.setItemCount(10);
      }
  });

Note that although this class is a subclass of Composite, it does not make sense to add Control children to it, or set a layout on it.

Styles:
SINGLE, MULTI, CHECK, FULL_SELECTION, VIRTUAL, NO_SCROLL
Events:
Selection, DefaultSelection, Collapse, Expand, SetData

Note: Only one of the styles SINGLE and MULTI may be specified.

IMPORTANT: This class is not intended to be subclassed.

  • Constructor Details

    • Tree

      public Tree(Composite parent, int style)
      Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

      The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

      Parameters:
      parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
      style - the style of control to construct
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException -
      • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
      SWTException -
      • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent

    • getColumns

      public TreeColumn[] getColumns()
      Returns an array of TreeColumns which are the columns in the receiver. Columns are returned in the order that they were created. If no TreeColumns were created by the programmer, the array is empty, despite the fact that visually, one column of items may be visible. This occurs when the programmer uses the tree like a list, adding items but never creating a column.

      Note: This is not the actual structure used by the receiver to maintain its list of items, so modifying the array will not affect the receiver.

      Returns:
      the items in the receiver
      Throws:
      SWTException -
      • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
      • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

    • setColumnOrder

      public void setColumnOrder(int[] order)
      Sets the order that the items in the receiver should be displayed in to the given argument which is described in terms of the zero-relative ordering of when the items were added.
      Parameters:
      order - the new order to display the items
      Throws:
      SWTException -
      • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
      • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
      IllegalArgumentException -
      • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the item order is null
      • ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT - if the item order is not the same length as the number of items

    • setSortColumn

      public void setSortColumn(TreeColumn column)
      Sets the column used by the sort indicator for the receiver. A null value will clear the sort indicator. The current sort column is cleared before the new column is set.
      Parameters:
      column - the column used by the sort indicator or null
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException -
      • ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT - if the column is disposed
      SWTException -
      • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
      • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

    • getColumnOrder

      public int[] getColumnOrder()
      Returns an array of zero-relative integers that map the creation order of the receiver's items to the order in which they are currently being displayed.

      Specifically, the indices of the returned array represent the current visual order of the items, and the contents of the array represent the creation order of the items.

      Note: This is not the actual structure used by the receiver to maintain its list of items, so modifying the array will not affect the receiver.

      Returns:
      the current visual order of the receiver's items
      Throws:
      SWTException -
      • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
      • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

    • addSelectionListener

      public void addSelectionListener(SelectionListener listener)
      Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the receiver's selection changes, by sending it one of the messages defined in the SelectionListener interface.

      When widgetSelected is called, the item field of the event object is valid. If the receiver has SWT.CHECK style set and the check selection changes, the event object detail field contains the value SWT.CHECK. widgetDefaultSelected is typically called when an item is double-clicked. The item field of the event object is valid for default selection, but the detail field is not used.

      Parameters:
      listener - the listener which should be notified
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException -
      • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
      SWTException -
      • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
      • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

    • removeSelectionListener

      public void removeSelectionListener(SelectionListener listener)
      Removes the listener from the collection of listeners who will be notified when the receiver's selection changes.
      Parameters:
      listener - the listener which should no longer be notified
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException -
      • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
      SWTException -

      Parameters:
      listener - the listener which should be notified
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException -

    • setData

      public void setData(String key, Object value)
      Description copied from class: Widget
      Sets the application defined property of the receiver with the specified name to the given value.

      Applications may associate arbitrary objects with the receiver in this fashion. If the objects stored in the properties need to be notified when the widget is disposed of, it is the application's responsibility to hook the Dispose event on the widget and do so.

      Overrides:
      setData in class Control
      Parameters:
      key - the name of the property
      value - the new value for the property

    • computeSize

      public Point computeSize(int wHint, int hHint, boolean changed)
      Description copied from class: Control
      Returns the preferred size of the receiver.

      The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.

      If the changed flag is true, it indicates that the receiver's contents have changed, therefore any caches that a layout manager containing the control may have been keeping need to be flushed. When the control is resized, the changed flag will be false, so layout manager caches can be retained.

      Overrides:
      computeSize in class Composite
      Parameters:
      wHint - the width hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
      hHint - the height hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
      changed - true if the control's contents have changed, and false otherwise
      Returns:
      the preferred size of the control.
