Tree/TreeViewer: How to detect a click into the icon without selecting the TreeItem [message #546555]

Hello,

I have a SWT Tree and use a MouseListener to detect clicks into the icons of individual TreeItems.

First, is there a better way than to use a MouseListener to detect icon clicks?

Second, is there a way, to detect clicks on a TreeItem's icon without having it automatically selected (I tried with event.doit and similar stuff, without an effect)?

Thanks,
/Stefan

No, this is the way to do it.

Not specifically, but you can remember that the item's image was clicked and
then remove the item from the selection. For an example of filtering item
selections see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet80.java?view=co .
I've tried this snippet on win32, gtk, and cocoa, and none of them show any
selection flash when selecting-then-deselecting an item.

HTH,
Grant
