add node border lines to jtree that has windows look and feel
Hi all,
I have a jtree with the windows look and feel, im just wondering how can I add the lines between the various nodes. By lines I mean that in the java look and feel when a node is expanded a vertical and horizantal line appears to indicated the new nodes location.
Thanks

putClientProperty() is a method of JComponent (and a JTree is also a JComponent)
It's mentioned in the link I gave you

sorry, let me pre - phrase, The properties "JTree.lineStyle", "Angled" are not mentioned in the docs?

The reason I ask is that I may want to change the appearance and id just like to know where to look for different properties...

Well, when @ http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/JavaUIDefaults.txt you search for "Tree"
you'll see that some other things can be changed too.
But when changing those you change them for ALL your JTree's.
e.g.
UIManager.put("Tree.font",

How do you mean?
yourTree.putClientProperty
only influences the JTree instance yourTree.
while calling
UIManager.put("Tree.font",
influences all JTree instances you use in your app
