Set icon to each node in Jtree

Question

I want to set for each node in my JTree a different icon, actually I\'m loading each node from a data base, with a \"while\", I set each icon like a root, leaf or parent. Li

Answer 1

You can use it, a shorter way. "tree" is my JTree component.

DefaultTreeCellRenderer renderer = (DefaultTreeCellRenderer) tree.getCellRenderer();
Icon closedIcon = new ImageIcon("closed.png");
Icon openIcon = new ImageIcon("open.png");
Icon leafIcon = new ImageIcon("leaf.png");
renderer.setClosedIcon(closedIcon);
renderer.setOpenIcon(openIcon);
renderer.setLeafIcon(leafIcon);    

Answer 2

You can change default UI values for icons of JTree nodes without any custom renderer:

URL resource = logaff.class.getResource(IMAGE);
Icon icon = new ImageIcon(resource);

UIManager.put("Tree.closedIcon", icon);
UIManager.put("Tree.openIcon", icon);
UIManager.put("Tree.leafIcon", icon);

or use something like next:

@Override
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);
        DefaultMutableTreeNode nodo = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) value;
        if (tree.getModel().getRoot().equals(nodo)) {
            setIcon(root);
        } else if (nodo.getChildCount() > 0) {
            setIcon(parent);
        } else {
            setIcon(leaf);
        }
        return this;
}
