I'm trying to implement pop-up menus in Java JTree. I've sub-classed DefaultTreeCellRenderer (to change node appearance) and DefaultTreeCellEditor (to create Components to attach event listeners to, since apparently the Components that DefaultTreeCellRenderer.getTreeCellRendererComponent() returns can't do it?). I don't really want to "edit" the nodes, just be able to pop-up a menu when a node gets right-clicked, but this is the only way I can think of doing it right now...
Below is the code that I have so far-- I'm just trying to figure out how to capture MouseEvents. It sort of works, but badly. What's a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do here?
private class My_TreeCellRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
My_TreeCellRenderer() {
super ();
}
public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value, boolean selected, boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus) {
super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, selected, expanded, leaf, row, hasFocus);
// set label text and tool tips
setText(((My_Object)value).getTreeLabel());
setToolTipText(((My_Object)value).getTreeToolTip());
return this;
}
}
private class My_TreeCellEditor extends DefaultTreeCellEditor {
private MouseAdapter ma;
My_TreeCellEditor(JTree tree, DefaultTreeCellRenderer renderer) {
super (tree, renderer);
ma = new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.isPopupTrigger()) {
System.out.println("My Popup");
}
}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.isPopupTrigger()) {
System.out.println("My Popup");
}
}
};
}
public Component getTreeCellEditorComponent(JTree tree, Object value, boolean selected, boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row) {
String src_filename = null;
// return non-editing component
Component c = renderer.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, selected, expanded, leaf, row, true);
// add mouse listener if it's not listening already
MouseListener mouseListeners[] = c.getMouseListeners();
int i;
for (i=0; i < mouseListeners.length && mouseListeners[i] != ma; i++);
if (i >= mouseListeners.length)
c.addMouseListener(ma);
return c;
}
protected boolean canEditImmediately(EventObject event) {
if (event instanceof MouseEvent && ((MouseEvent)event).getClickCount() == 1)
return true;
else
return false;
}
}
