How can i delete a TreeItem from a tree and just remove that treeItem and its children? I have a situation where i have two trees. My first tree has all the data and then i build my second tree by selecting treeItems from the first tree, click a button and a new tree item get's created on the second tree. If an item is selected on the second tree, then the item is added underneath that node. Any idea's? I've tried dispose() and that didn't work.

SWT/JFace in Action: A parent is set by passing it to the constructor of TreeItem and can’t be modified
from either end of the relationship. Because of the way these relationships
are maintained, removing a single item from a Tree is awkward: You must call
removeAll() to empty the Tree and rebuild its contents, minus the items you wish
to remove.

Does anyone know of a work around?

If you use JFace based TreeViewer, that should be an easy task. Something like this should work ..

TreeViewer fSourceTree;
TreeViewer fTargetTree;

public void onButtonMoveToTarget()
{
	Object sourceElem = getSelectedSourceElement();
	Object targetElem = getSelectedTargetElement();

	/* remove from source */
	fSourceTree.remove(sourceElem);
	
	/* add to target */
	fTargetTree.add(targetElem, sourceElem); /* here you may like to make a copy of sourceElem by
						a deepCopy instead to avoid unforeseen effects if any */
}

private Object getSelectedSourceElement()
{
	IStructuredSelection selection = (IStructuredSelection)(fSourceTree.getSelection());
	if( selection == null || selection.isEmpty() ) return null;
				
	
	return selection.getFirstElement();
}


private Object getSelectedTargetElement()
{
	IStructuredSelection selection = (IStructuredSelection)(fTargetTree.getSelection());
	if( selection == null || selection.isEmpty() ) 
		return fTargetTree.getInput(); /* return root as the selected element 
						if nothing is added yet*/				
	
	return selection.getFirstElement();
}


Thanks
