| Tree node deselection [message #453954] |

I have a tree that should allow only a single selection. If the user has
selected a node and then right-clicks, I pop up a certain menu. However,
if the user has selected no nodes, I want to pop up a different generic
menu. I can't seem to figure out how to allow the user to deselect all
nodes in the tree. Once a node is selected, there is always a node
selected, so they will never see that generic menu. Is there a way to do
this? I see you can do it if you set the style to SWT.MULTI, but I don't
want to allow the user to select more than one node.
Thanks,
Robin

Just listen to the mouse event, get the treenode for the location where the
mouse was pressed, and if that's null, you know that they clicked somewhere
there is no node.. at that point you can deselect all nodes in the tree (and
show your menu).
Something along the lines of
tree.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseDown(MouseEvent e) {
TreeItem ti = tree.getItem(new Point(e.x, e.y));
if (ti == null) {
tree.deselectAll();
// etc....
}
}
});
or just SWT.MouseDown, or any other listener you prefer.

One problem with that solution is that if the user clicks on the +/- to expand/collapse the tree,
all items will be deselected, which may not be always a good idea. The code below dodges that nit,
so long as Tree continues to noify TreeListeners before MouseListeners.
