[FIXED] JavaFx: How to hide the value of a CheckBoxTreeItem?

Issue

How to hide the value of a CheckBoxTreeItem?

mfbs.add(new CheckBoxTreeItem<String>(mfb.userId, new Label(mfb.userId + "-"  + mfb.name), true));

The Label should be the caption of the CheckBoxTreeItem and the first argument mfb.userId should not show up at all.

Thanks in advance

Solution

You can add a custom cell factory to your TreeView that disables the text:

TreeView<String> treeView;
CheckBoxTreeItem<String> root = new CheckBoxTreeItem<>("Not Visible", new Label("Visible"));
treeView.setRoot(root);
treeView.setCellFactory(e -> new CustomCheckBoxTreeCell());

public class CustomCheckBoxTreeCell extends CheckBoxTreeCell<String>{

    public CustomCheckBoxTreeCell() {}

    @Override
    public void updateItem(String item, boolean empty) {
        super.updateItem(item, empty);
        if(!empty){    
            setText(null);
        }

    }
}
