Data Validation while moving to a new node in JTree

Posted by Tarun on February 07, 2001 at 11:58 AM

I want to validate data on the pane associated with old JTree node which is going out of focus when a user clicks on a new node.

In generic controls, we could listen for the event, and consume() it on failure of data validation. but TreeSelectionEvent (the event which gets fired when a new node is selected) doesn't provide consume() method.

Thanking in advance for any solutions to this problem.
