index of the item selected and I am always getting -1. Any ideas?

TreeItem[] treeItem = tree.getSelection();
if(treeItem != null && treeItem.length >= 0)
{
int index = tree.indexOf(treeItem[0]);
// index is always -1 ???
}

Tree.indexOf() only returns the index of the direct children of a node. Is
that what you are seeing?

Ooh, I see. Thanks for information. I guess I need to iterate through
the whole tree to find the real location...unless somebody has better idea.

??? don't traverse the tree, but work back up to the root.

Get the selected item's parent item with getParentItem(), and if it
isn't null, get your item's index within its parent and then do it
all over again for the parent item until you reach the root
