public class Tree

extends Composite

Instances of this class provide a selectable user interface object that displays a hierarchy of items and issue notificiation 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.

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

Events:

Selection, DefaultSelection, Collapse, Expand

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

IMPORTANT: This class is not intended to be subclassed.

Constructor Detail

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
• ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass

See Also:

SWT.SINGLE, SWT.MULTI, SWT.CHECK, Widget.checkSubclass(), Widget.getStyle()

Method Detail

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 reciever 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

See Also:

SelectionListener, removeSelectionListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionListener), SelectionEvent

addTreeListener

public void addTreeListener(TreeListener listener)

Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when an item in the receiver is expanded or collapsed by sending it one of the messages defined in the TreeListener interface.

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

See Also:

TreeListener, removeTreeListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.TreeListener)

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.
