TreeSelectionEvent

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 JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.

Fields Summary
protected TreePath[]
paths
Paths this event represents.
protected boolean[]
areNew
For each path identifies if that path is in fact new.
protected TreePath
oldLeadSelectionPath
leadSelectionPath before the paths changed, may be null.
protected TreePath
newLeadSelectionPath
leadSelectionPath after the paths changed, may be null.
Constructors Summary
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.

param
source source of event
param
paths the paths that have changed in the selection

	super(source);
	this.paths = paths;
	this.areNew = areNew;
	this.oldLeadSelectionPath = oldLeadSelectionPath;
	this.newLeadSelectionPath = newLeadSelectionPath;
    
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 have been either added or removed from the selection.

param
source source of event
param
path the path that has changed in the selection
param
isNew whether or not the path is new to the selection, false means path was removed from the selection.

	super(source);
	paths = new TreePath[1];
	paths[0] = path;
	areNew = new boolean[1];
	areNew[0] = isNew;
	this.oldLeadSelectionPath = oldLeadSelectionPath;
	this.newLeadSelectionPath = newLeadSelectionPath;
    
Methods Summary
public java.lang.ObjectcloneWithSource(java.lang.Object newSource)
Returns a copy of the receiver, but with the source being newSource.

      // Fix for IE bug - crashing
      return new TreeSelectionEvent(newSource, paths,areNew,
				    oldLeadSelectionPath,
				    newLeadSelectionPath);
    
public javax.swing.tree.TreePathgetNewLeadSelectionPath()
Returns the current lead path.

	return newLeadSelectionPath;
    
public javax.swing.tree.TreePathgetOldLeadSelectionPath()
Returns the path that was previously the lead path.

	return oldLeadSelectionPath;
    
public javax.swing.tree.TreePathgetPath()
Returns the first path element.

	return paths[0];
    
public javax.swing.tree.TreePath[]getPaths()
Returns the paths that have been added or removed from the selection.

	int                  numPaths;
	TreePath[]          retPaths;

	numPaths = paths.length;
	retPaths = new TreePath[numPaths];
	System.arraycopy(paths, 0, retPaths, 0, numPaths);
	return retPaths;
    
public booleanisAddedPath()
Returns true if the first path element has been added to the selection, a return value of false means the first path has been removed from the selection.

	return areNew[0];
    
public booleanisAddedPath(javax.swing.tree.TreePath path)
Returns true if the path identified by path was added to the selection. A return value of false means the path was in the selection but is no longer in the selection. This will raise if path is not one of the paths identified by this event.

	for(int counter = paths.length - 1; counter >= 0; counter--)
	    if(paths[counter].equals(path))
		return areNew[counter];
	throw new IllegalArgumentException("path is not a path identified by the TreeSelectionEvent");
    
public booleanisAddedPath(int index)
Returns true if the path identified by index was added to the selection. A return value of false means the path was in the selection but is no longer in the selection. This will raise if index < 0 || >= getPaths.length.

since
1.3

	if (paths == null || index < 0 || index >= paths.length) {
	    throw new IllegalArgumentException("index is beyond range of added paths identified by TreeSelectionEvent");
	}
	return areNew[index];
