SWT allows an advantage of creating a tree. To represent the data in the hierarchical way, the class Tree is used. It provides the hierarchy of items.

The constructor of class Tree consists of shell and the style value. The class TreeItem represents the hierarchy of tree items in a tree by adding an item to the tree. Its constructor consists of parent, style value and the index.

The method setText() sets the text specified.

Here is the code of CreateTree.java


import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;

import org.eclipse.swt.layout.*;

import org.eclipse.swt.events.*;

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;



public class CreateTree {  

  Display display;

  Shell shell;

  CreateTree()  {

  display= new Display();

  shell = new Shell(display);

  shell.setSize(230,220);

  shell.setText("Tree");

  shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());



  Tree tree = new Tree(shell, SWT.SINGLE | SWT.BORDER);

  TreeItem item1 = new TreeItem(tree, SWT.NONE, 0);

  item1.setText("Task1");

   
    TreeItem item1a = new TreeItem(item1, SWT.NONE, 0);

  item1a.setText("Task 1.1");

   
    TreeItem item1b = new TreeItem(item1, SWT.NONE, 1);

  item1b.setText("Task 1.2");



  TreeItem item2 = new TreeItem(tree, SWT.NONE, 1);

  item2.setText("Task2");

    TreeItem item2a = new TreeItem(item2, SWT.NONE, 0);

  item2a.setText("Task 2.1");

  TreeItem item2a1 = new TreeItem(item2a, SWT.NONE, 0);

  item2a1.setText("Task 2.1.1");

  TreeItem item2a2 = new TreeItem(item2a, SWT.NONE, 1);

  item2a2.setText("Task 2.1.2");

  TreeItem item2b = new TreeItem(item2, SWT.NONE, 1);

  item2b.setText("Task 2.2");

  TreeItem item2c = new TreeItem(item2, SWT.NONE, 2);

  item2c.setText("Task 2.3");



  TreeItem item3 = new TreeItem(tree, SWT.NONE, 2);

  item3.setText("Task3");

   
    TreeItem item3a = new TreeItem(item3, SWT.NONE, 0);

  item3a.setText("Task 3.1");

   
    TreeItem item3b = new TreeItem(item3, SWT.NONE, 1);

  item3b.setText("Task 3.2");



  shell.open();

  while(!shell.isDisposed()){

  if(!display.readAndDispatch())

  display.sleep();

  }

  display.dispose();

  }

  public static void main(String[] argv){

  new CreateTree();

  }

}
