Class TreeSelectionEvent

java.lang.Object
java.util.EventObject
javax.swing.event.TreeSelectionEvent
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public class TreeSelectionEvent extends EventObject
An event that characterizes a change in the current selection. The change is based on any number of paths. TreeSelectionListeners will generally query the source of the event for the new selected status of each potentially changed row.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Constructor Details

TreeSelectionEvent

public TreeSelectionEvent(Object source, TreePath[] paths, boolean[] areNew, TreePath oldLeadSelectionPath, TreePath newLeadSelectionPath)
Represents a change in the selection of a TreeSelectionModel. paths identifies the paths that have been either added or removed from the selection.
Parameters:
source - source of event
paths - the paths that have changed in the selection
areNew - a boolean array indicating whether the paths in paths are new to the selection
oldLeadSelectionPath - the previous lead selection path
newLeadSelectionPath - the new lead selection path

TreeSelectionEvent

public TreeSelectionEvent(Object source, TreePath path, boolean isNew, TreePath oldLeadSelectionPath, TreePath newLeadSelectionPath)
Represents a change in the selection of a TreeSelectionModel. path identifies the path that has been either added or removed from the selection.
Parameters:
source - source of event
path - the path that has changed in the selection
isNew - whether or not the path is new to the selection, false means path was removed from the selection.
oldLeadSelectionPath - the previous lead selection path
newLeadSelectionPath - the new lead selection path

Method Details

getPaths

public TreePath[] getPaths()
Returns the paths that have been added or removed from the selection.
Returns:
copy of the array of TreePath obects for this event.

getPath

public TreePath getPath()
Returns the first path element.
Returns:
the first TreePath element represented by this event

isAddedPath

public boolean isAddedPath()
Returns whether the path identified by getPath was added to the selection. A return value of true indicates the path identified by getPath was added to the selection. A return value of false indicates getPath was selected, but is no longer selected.
Returns:
true if getPath was added to the selection, false otherwise

isAddedPath

public boolean isAddedPath(TreePath path)
Returns whether the specified path was added to the selection. A return value of true indicates the path identified by path was added to the selection. A return value of false indicates path is no longer selected. This method is only valid for the paths returned from getPaths(); invoking with a path not included in getPaths() throws an IllegalArgumentException.
Parameters:
path - the path to test
Returns:
true if path was added to the selection, false otherwise
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if path is not contained in getPaths
See Also:

isAddedPath

public boolean isAddedPath(int index)
Returns whether the path at getPaths()[index] was added to the selection. A return value of true indicates the path was added to the selection. A return value of false indicates the path is no longer selected.
Parameters:
index - the index of the path to test
Returns:
true if the path was added to the selection, false otherwise
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if index is outside the range of getPaths
Since:
1.3

Returns:
a TreePath containing the old lead selection path

getNewLeadSelectionPath

public TreePath getNewLeadSelectionPath()
Returns the current lead path.
Returns:
a TreePath containing the new lead selection path

cloneWithSource

public Object cloneWithSource(Object newSource)
Returns a copy of the receiver, but with the source being newSource.
Parameters:
newSource - source of event
