How to hide Tree arrow

General

Hello

Is it possible to hide Tree arrows?
We have a need to hide the arrows from the Tree’s first level nodes and to show them all the time, more like a subject lines.

Try using an ItemStyleGenerator that returns custom style names for the root nodes and then use CSS to hide the background image on those nodes.

I’m trying something similar - I basically want to hide the Tree arrow if the node currently has no children. I understand how to use the ItemStyleGenerator; but I’m struggling with the CSS to hide the background image.

Here is the code for the ItemStyleGenerator:





public class UserTreeItemStyleGenerator implements ItemStyleGenerator
	{

                protected static final String TREE_NODE_WITHOUT_CHILDREN_STYLE="no-children";


		public String getStyle(Object itemId) {
			if(container.getChildren(itemId)== null || container.getChildren(itemId).size()==0)
			{
				return TREE_NODE_WITHOUT_CHILDREN_STYLE;
			}
			else
			{
				return null;
			}
		}
		
	}

and the .css:


.v-tree-node-no-children
{
	background: "";
	
	
}

However, when I inspect the generated HTML code with Firebug, I see the following:


<div class="v-tree-node-children v-tree-node-children-no-children" style=""></div>

This does not actually hide the tree arrow; Firebug indicates the browser evaluates it as follows:


.v-tree-node .v-tree-node-no-children {
}
styles.css (line 104)
.v-tree-node-expanded {
    background-position: -5px -10px;
}
styles.css (line 1963)
.v-tree-node {
    background: url("common/img/sprites.png") no-repeat scroll 5px -37px transparent;
    padding: 1px 0;
}

Any ideas?

Found it, I had to define the style like this:


.v-tree-node-no-children
{
	background: none;
	
	
}

This works too,

treetable.setChildrenAllowed(“itemID”, false);

provided you dont want to add any further child to that node.

or else the css method mentioned by Sicco would work too.
