Method Detail

getListCellRendererComponent

public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list,
                                              Object value,
                                              int index,
                                              boolean isSelected,
                                              boolean cellHasFocus)

Return a component that's been configured to display the specified value. The components paint method will be called subsequently to "render" the cell. If it's neccessary to compute the dimensions of the list, e.g. if the list cells aren't fixed size, this method will be called to generate a component to apply getPreferredSize() to.

Parameters:

list - The JList we're painting.

value - The value returned by list.getModel().getElementAt(index).

index - The cells index.

isSelected - True if the specified cell was selected.

cellHasFocus - True if the specified cell has the focus.

Returns:

A component whose paint() method will render the specified value.
