You can use the TreeModel, TreeCellRenderer and TreeCellEditor.

THAT I KNOW ,BUT I WANT THE CODE FOR THAT,PLEAE SEND ME A CODE
ANY REPLY APPERCIATED

Welcome to JavaRanch.

I think you misunderstand what we do here at JavaRanch. We try to help people learn Java, not provide them with ready-made solutions to their problems. If you are stuck in your implementation, post the code you have so far, and indicate what it does or does not do. Then we can help you get going again.

And please, KeepItDown.

Please tell me what is wrong in this code.problem is i am not able check the multiple checkbox at a time

Your problem is right here:

"Selected" means whether or not this is the last node that the user clicked on with his/her mouse. Only one node can be "selected" at a time. When you check a different node, the previously-selected node gets unselected, and therefore unchecked. If you want selection to toggle between checked/unchecked, do this instead:

Or, if you're feeling particularly clever/devious:

I need to do something like Mahesh. I will look into this post and I will try to implement a JTree with checkboxes.

Rob, I'm the same as the JTree-Zip. Now my next step is to implement the JTree with checkboxes and unzip the selected items.

Mark,

I suppose you did not see http://faq.javaranch.com/java/DontWakeTheZombies which Rob indicated.

i need to implement a JTree with checkboxes as nodes and want to add a event handler on each checkbox node selection.
can someone help.

Please read what Maneesh said.
Locking this one.
