Root immediate child nodes icons not visible when hiding root
applet, java, jtree, root-node, swing
Solution
`JTree#setShowsRootHandles(boolean newValue)` controls the state of the handles for root elements.
Normally, this is `false`. Try changing to `true`
Problem
I have a JTree structure as shown below. I have Icons that appear whenever a node has child nodes, which is working properly. My problem is that I need to hide the ROOT node. When I hide the ROOT node, the Icons for MainTop1 and MainTop2 nodes are not displayed, even though they have children. To hide ROOT node I'm using "setRootVisible(false)". Also when ROOT node is hidden, the Icons for Topic1 and Topic nodes are displayed properly. Anyone knows how to display the Icons for MainTop1 and MainTop2 when ROOT is hidden? Thanks in advance. Below is my tree structure: ``` ROOT MainTop1 Topic1 Subtopic1 Subtopic2 MainTop2 Topic2 Subtopic1 ```
