[FIXED] Javafx Treeview item action event

Issue

I'm trying to create a menu using a treeView. This is the first time I'm using treeView and have been reading up on it on several websites.

I'm having some problems when it comes to action event. What I want to do is basically to fire and event when ever the user clicks a node in the treeview so far I have the following:

        TreeItem<String> rootItem = new TreeItem<String>("Navigation");
    TreeItem<String> statistics = new TreeItem<String>("Statistics");
    TreeItem<String> clan = new TreeItem<String>("Clan page");
    clan.addEventHandler(MouseEvent, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {

        @Override
        public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
    });

    rootItem.getChildren().add(statistics);
    rootItem.getChildren().add(clan);

    TreeView<String> tree = new TreeView<String>(rootItem); 

Sadly this doesn't seem to work.

Is there any way I can add a clicklistener or even an actionlistener to the individual items in my treeView without changing the treeItems to type Button ?

Solution

According to the JavaFX 2.2 documentation :

" ..a TreeItem is not a Node, and therefore no visual events will be fired on the TreeItem, To get these events, it is necessary to add relevant observers to the TreeCell instances (via a custom cell factory)."

I think this example on using TreeView will be somehow useful.
