java.lang.Object javax.swing.tree.TreePath
public class TreePath
Represents a path to a node. A TreePath is an array of Objects that are vended from a TreeModel. The elements of the array are ordered such that the root is always the first element (index 0) of the array. TreePath is Serializable, but if any components of the path are not serializable, it will not be written out.
For further information and examples of using tree paths, see How to Use Trees in The Java Tutorial.
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.

Constructor Summary | |
---|---|
protected |
TreePath()
Primarily provided for subclasses that represent paths in a different manner. |
|
TreePath(Object singlePath)
Constructs a TreePath containing only a single element. |
|
TreePath(Object[] path)
Constructs a path from an array of Objects, uniquely identifying the path from the root of the tree to a specific node, as returned by the tree's data model. |
protected |
TreePath(Object[] path,
int length)
Constructs a new TreePath with the identified path components of length length . |
protected |
TreePath(TreePath parent,
Object lastElement)
Constructs a new TreePath, which is the path identified by parent ending in lastElement . |
Method Summary | |
---|---|
boolean |
equals(Object o)
Tests two TreePaths for equality by checking each element of the paths for equality. |
Object |
getLastPathComponent()
Returns the last component of this path. |
TreePath |
getParentPath()
Returns a path containing all the elements of this object, except the last path component. |
Object[] |
getPath()
Returns an ordered array of Objects containing the components of this TreePath. |
Object |
getPathComponent(int element)
Returns the path component at the specified index. |
int |
getPathCount()
Returns the number of elements in the path. |
int |
hashCode()
Returns the hashCode for the object. |
boolean |
isDescendant(TreePath aTreePath)
Returns true if aTreePath is a
descendant of this
TreePath. |
TreePath |
pathByAddingChild(Object child)
Returns a new path containing all the elements of this object plus child . |
String |
toString()
Returns a string that displays and identifies this object's properties. |

public TreePath(Object[] path)
The model is free to return an array of any Objects it needs to represent the path. The DefaultTreeModel returns an array of TreeNode objects. The first TreeNode in the path is the root of the tree, the last TreeNode is the node identified by the path.

public boolean isDescendant(TreePath aTreePath)
aTreePath
is a
descendant of this
TreePath. A TreePath P1 is a descendent of a TreePath P2
if P1 contains all of the components that make up
P2's path.
For example, if this object has the path [a, b],
and aTreePath
has the path [a, b, c],
then aTreePath
is a descendant of this object.
However, if aTreePath
has the path [a],
then it is not a descendant of this object.
aTreePath

child
. child
will be the last element
of the newly created TreePath.
This will throw a NullPointerException
if child is null.
