checkbox state in another panel

[Cathy Song]

Hi All,

I have implemented the TreeCellRenderer, such that each node in
my JTree has a checkbox and a label in a JPanel.

Now I am creating a mouse listener for the tree. I can get the
name of the node using TreePath.getLastPathComponent(). But how can
I access the state of the checkbox in the selected node?

Thanks,
Cathy.

Hello Cathy,

You need to explain a little more, since you have this

TreePath.getLastPathComponent();
why not have this method as well,
TreePath.getButtonState();

Explain little more so I can understand better.

Thanks Mike. But I worked around the problem. I created an object
for each node which holdes the state.

Thanks,Cathy.

Cathy,

What is a node? I read about it, it's like some kind of refference to something, something like a pointer in C++? Don't quite understand

I created a custom tree model. See this link for more details.
