    Default efficient way to build Tree gui

    Hello,
    I would like to know what is the best way to populate a tree gui which has the following details:
    My application should reflect a tree structre with about 8000 members but directly under the
    root there are maximum 15 members.Its clear that each time a user open the application he wont need to look at all the 8000 members and my question is how to build the tree ? should I load all members and build the tree or load just the first level and only if a user expand a member ,its children should be loaded ? and if the second way is better ,how should I know if
    the members were already loaded ?
    The second issue is how to do it (if there is any difference) : my application can get the members details by quering some sql tables (the member details actually handled by another application and are in some tables) or getting the info into the stack by using this other application api.

    By tree, I assume you mean JTree. Did you read the following? It contains details on how to do what you wish:
    How to Use Trees (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)

    Norm ,your reply goal isnt clear : Did you answer the question (NO) , or you just wanted to disturb ? what is
    the additional value of what you sent ? the above question was asked also in another forum ,so what? isnt it
    accaptable to ask some people the same question ? when you try to find out something do you limit yourself
    just to 1 site and dont ask yourself if there are other sites ? I hope that other people who read this forum will
    answer the question and wont be affected by your bad attitude.Next time if you dont have something clever to
    write , its better that you stay quite.

    Norm is tying up your cross-posts in the way that you *should be* if you were to adhere to reasonably well-known forum etiquette. He is doing all of us - including you - a favour.

    I read your remark, and I hope that Norm had the same clear thought since as he didnt add anything to the
    copied link in both forums ,it could be understanded as :"People, dont answer this question.It was already
    asked in other place" and the worst thing is that he wrote it also in the other forum , so to avoid it lets agree that if someone has answer the original question it will be nice if he will send it since i still didnt get a full answer to that question

    The TreeDemo example can easily be changed to handle thousands of elements in a JTree
