How to find location of JTree node on screen

Question

I want to search a particular node of JTree and determine its location on screen. My aim is to start hovering mouse from the top left corner of that node and perform a mouse click in my JFC.

Can anyone help me with this? Is it possible?

Answer 1

Knowing the coordinates x and y (from the mouse event), you can get the path via JTree.getPathForLocation. The bounds of the node are returned by JTree.getPathBounds(path).

Answer 2

Without knowing more information, it's hard to nail this down.

However, I'd suggest you take a look at

• JTree.getPathBounds
• JTree.getRowBounds
• JTree.getRowForPath
• SwingUtilities.convertPointToScreen

This should help you work out where on the screen a node is
