I try to prevent a tree node (SWT Tree or JFace TreeViewer) from collapse. Is thier a way to do that? Catch an event or so. Or is thier a possibility to remove "+" icon?

Thanks for help.

Hi,

At the SWT level there isn't a way to veto an expand/collapse by the user,
other than to listen for the Expand/Collapse event and invoke the opposite
API to re-expand/re-collapse the item, which can show a flash. Also, there
is no way to hide/change the expander. I could not find existing Feature
Requests for either of these, so if you want you can log one or two with swt
at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform &component=SWT&bug_severity=enhancement .

Though I don't know TreeViewer particularly well, I doubt that it would be
able to provide either of these, since it is constrained in some ways by the
beahviours of the underlying SWT Tree control.
