    - #### completeEditing

          protected void completeEditing()

      Messages to stop the editing session. If the UI the receiver is providing the look and feel for returns true from `getInvokesStopCellEditing`, stopCellEditing will invoked on the current editor. Then completeEditing will be messaged with false, true, false to cancel any lingering editing.

    - #### completeEditing

          protected void completeEditing(boolean messageStop,
                                         boolean messageCancel,
                                         boolean messageTree)

      Stops the editing session. If messageStop is true the editor is messaged with stopEditing, if messageCancel is true the editor is messaged with cancelEditing. If messageTree is true the treeModel is messaged with valueForPathChanged.

    - #### startEditing

          protected boolean startEditing(TreePath path,
                                         MouseEvent event)

      Will start editing for node if there is a cellEditor and shouldSelectCell returns true.

      This assumes that path is valid and visible.

    - #### checkForClickInExpandControl

          protected void checkForClickInExpandControl(TreePath path,
                                                      int mouseX,
                                                      int mouseY)

      If the `mouseX` and `mouseY` are in the expand/collapse region of the `row`, this will toggle the row.

    - #### isLocationInExpandControl

          protected boolean isLocationInExpandControl(TreePath path,
                                                      int mouseX,
                                                      int mouseY)

      Returns true if `mouseX` and `mouseY` fall in the area of row that is used to expand/collapse the node and the node at `row` does not represent a leaf.

    - #### handleExpandControlClick

          protected void handleExpandControlClick(TreePath path,
                                                  int mouseX,
                                                  int mouseY)

      Messaged when the user clicks the particular row, this invokes toggleExpandState.

    - #### toggleExpandState

          protected void toggleExpandState(TreePath path)

      Expands path if it is not expanded, or collapses row if it is expanded. If expanding a path and JTree scrolls on expand, ensureRowsAreVisible is invoked to scroll as many of the children to visible as possible (tries to scroll to last visible descendant of path).

    - #### isToggleSelectionEvent

          protected boolean isToggleSelectionEvent(MouseEvent event)

      Returning true signifies a mouse event on the node should toggle the selection of only the row under mouse.

    - #### isMultiSelectEvent

          protected boolean isMultiSelectEvent(MouseEvent event)

      Returning true signifies a mouse event on the node should select from the anchor point.

    - #### isToggleEvent

          protected boolean isToggleEvent(MouseEvent event)

      Returning true indicates the row under the mouse should be toggled based on the event. This is invoked after checkForClickInExpandControl, implying the location is not in the expand (toggle) control

    - #### selectPathForEvent

          protected void selectPathForEvent(TreePath path,
                                            MouseEvent event)

      Messaged to update the selection based on a MouseEvent over a particular row. If the event is a toggle selection event, the row is either selected, or deselected. If the event identifies a multi selection event, the selection is updated from the anchor point. Otherwise the row is selected, and if the event specified a toggle event the row is expanded/collapsed.

    - #### isLeaf

          protected boolean isLeaf(int row)

      Returns:
        true if the node at `row` is a leaf.

    - #### updateLeadSelectionRow

          protected void updateLeadSelectionRow()

      Updates the lead row of the selection.
      Since:
        1.7

    - #### getLeadSelectionRow

          protected int getLeadSelectionRow()

      Returns the lead row of the selection.
      Returns:
        selection lead row
      Since:
        1.7
