highlight selection in rich:tree

[stephanos]

Hi everyone,

I've got a rich:tree that shows details about an item in a separate panel when the user selects it. I want to highlight which item has been clicked.

I tried to set the style to 'bold' and rerender the table and the panel, but that posed a serious bottleneck (a lot of data transmitted).

Do you have a better idea?

Cheers,
Stephan :-)

Hello Stephan,

Use:

<rich:tree selectedClass="" ...

Cool, didn't even notice that attribute!

There is only one catch right now: There are two possibilities to select an item in my application. The regular way being via mouse click (where the provided solution works great) and the second (also very common) way being by URL where through adviseNodeOpened the correct node is opened in the tree yet not highlighted (if I highlight it on load - of course it isn't updated after selecting another item via mouse again...)

Do you also have an idea for that (without rerending the whole table)?

Hello,

Have you tried adviseNodeSelected?

well thank you a lot!
This was easy :-)

Apparently I haven't understood the meaning of a few attributes. Now the rich:tree rocks *g*
