    Question Dynamically changing icons of some nodes in a JTree

    Hi,

    I am looking to change the icons in a Jtree nodes depending on some condition. For Example I am populating n number of Jobs in the Jtree under a single parent by reading a folder for xml files.
    and some of the jobs might be currently running and i wish to show the icons for these running jobs with a green dot to differentiate them from other jobs. As follows

    Jobs
    #job1
    #job2
    #job3

    [OR]

    Jobs
    #job1
    #job2
    #job3

    I just need to differentiate it from other jobs be it the icon changing or the text color changing.
    Any suggestions?

    Regards
    --vishnu--

    Kevin,
    I appreciate your help very much.

    Its' just that I did not know that these two forums are the same. I thought they were different. If not i would never have cross posted this. I was just looking for a quick solution and hence thought i might get different people on different forums .

    They aren't the same. But a lot of people happen to look at both. Please read the "problems with cross posting" link for information on why people don't like crossposting.

    It's not really a big deal as long as you let people know you're doing it. A little blurb saying "by the way, I also posted this here..." goes a long way. That way it's easy for people to see what kind of help you've already received, otherwise we might be wasting our time repeating advice you've already heard.
