Method Detail

getUniqueID

java.lang.Object getUniqueID(javax.swing.tree.TreePath path)

Returns an unique identifier for the specified path if applicable. This method is usually used to store a tree state on disposing, so we cannot use invoker to calculate it later on a valid thread, and an implementor must be ready to support any thread.

Parameters:

path - a tree path in the current tree model

Returns:

an unique identifier for the specified path, or null if not applicable
