How can I check which items are selected from a checkboxTree ?
I've had to search and I know this code returns the last selected:
DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) checkboxTree1.getLastSelectedPathComponent();
Is there any way to know the nodes names of the selected checkboxes?
Inthiscasesomethingthatreturnsme"Colors, blue, red".
node has a method getUserObject which returns the object relative to the current node (eg, if you fed the tree with the string "red" just convert the Object to a String ):
String color = (String) node.getUserObject();
To search for all selected paths you can use:
TreePath[] paths = checkboxTree1.getSelectionPaths();
In turn each TreePath also has method getLastPathComponent() :
if (paths != null) {
for (TreePath path : paths) {
DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) path.getLastPathComponent();
System.out.println(node.getUserObject());
}
}
If you also want relatives (I do not know if that's the case) you can still use the getPath that returns a Object[] with all elements from the root.
