Tested on:
- win10 64
- ControlsFx v11.1.1
When I will add a graphic node (ImageView) into CheckBoxTreeItem it behaves as a checkbox (when clicked on). In the example below, I have added wide icons to showcase the issue. Just click on the empty space between checkbox and value and you will see the checkbox will get checked/unchecked.
I would expect the clicking on the ImageView to just select the row.
Just like in this picture:

here is a minimalistic code example:
package org.example;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.CheckBoxTreeItem;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import org.controlsfx.control.CheckTreeView;
public class App extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
// prepare icons for the tree items
ImageView imgIcon1 = new ImageView();
imgIcon1.setFitWidth(64);
imgIcon1.setFitHeight(16);
ImageView imgIcon2 = new ImageView();
imgIcon2.setFitWidth(64);
imgIcon2.setFitHeight(16);
// prepare tree items
CheckBoxTreeItem<String> root = new CheckBoxTreeItem<>("Root");
CheckBoxTreeItem<String> item1 = new CheckBoxTreeItem<>("Jonathan", imgIcon1);
CheckBoxTreeItem<String> item2 = new CheckBoxTreeItem<>("Eugene", imgIcon2);
// add items to the root
root.getChildren().add(item1);
root.getChildren().add(item2);
root.setExpanded(true);
// Create the CheckTreeView with the data
CheckTreeView<String> checkTreeView = new CheckTreeView<>(root);
// show the scene with the tree
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(checkTreeView, 200, 100));
primaryStage.show();
}
}
Any idea how to change the behavior from checking the checkbox to selecting the row?
