Gettting the bounds for a JTree node
Hi,
I am trying to render the JTree nodes with a JPanel
the Panel has a JLabel and a JButton.
obviously the JButton is just a non functional thing
Hence when the user double clicks on the selected node
only if he clicks on the button I want to simulate a button click and do something.
The question is I need to get the bounds of the button
only if the user clicks within the button bounds
the method "canEditImmediately" will return true
How do I do this
I tried something like this
The funny thing is it works on Jdk1.3 but not on 1.4
protected boolean canEditImmediately(EventOb ject e)
{
boolean rv = false; // rv = return value
if (e instanceof MouseEvent)
{
MouseEvent me = (MouseEvent) e;
path = tree.getPathForLocation(me .getX(),
me.getY());
rv = inButtonBoxHitRegion(me);
}
return rv;
}//canEditImmediately()
public boolean inButtonHitRegion(MouseEve nt e)
{
boolean rv = false;
// offset and lastRow DefaultTreeCellEditor
// protected members
Rectangle bounds = tree.getRowBounds(lastRow) ;
Dimension buttonOffset = rendererI.getButtonOffset( );
bounds.translate(offset + buttonOffset.width,
buttonOffset.height);
rv = bounds.contains(e.getPoint ());
//temporarily, needs to be fixed
rv = true;
return rv;
}//inButtonHitRegion()
This is the renderer method to get the offset
public Dimension getButtonOffset()
{
Graphics g = nodePanelG;
int xoffset = 0;
if (g != null)
{
try
{
FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();
xoffset = fm.stringWidth(getText()) +
strut.getPreferredSize().w idth;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
g.dispose();
}
}
return new Dimension(xoffset, 0);
}
What am I doing wrong????????
please help
This is similiar to example in Graphic Java Mastering the JFC Volume ii : Swing , chapter 20 example

Quite possibly a regression bug in 1.4 if it works ok in 1.3. Add some debug to see whats returning the incorrect value.

Hi Objects,
Actually I am trying to get the test cases but it might require changes in my code.Might take some time.
But anyway do you think there is a better way to get the bounds of the jbutton with which the nodes are rendered
Basically I need to get the location of the JButton
and if the mouse is within the bounds of the JButton
then cell editing is allowed.
I am pretty sure it is because of the fontmetrics in the getButtonOffsetMethod()
Any suggestions?
