JList

[Mohit Maheshwari]

I had a JLIst, i am filling it with a vector. The vector elements are structures( having a string and a boolean value). Based on the parameters of the structure i had to show the elements in the list as bold or normal( or just change the color).
Can you please help me out.

You'll probably want to make a new ListCellRenderer component that changes color and font based on the attributes specified in it's value parameter... something like the following...

public class MohitListCellRenderer extends DefaultListCellRenderer
{
    public Component getListCellRendererComponent( JList list,
                Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, 
                boolean cellHasFocus )
    {
        this = super.getListCellRendererComponent( list, value, index,
                isSelected, cellHasFocus );
        Structure s = ( Structure )value;
        if( s.isBold )
        {
            Font f = getFont();
            f = f.deriveFont( Font.BOLD );
            setFont( f );
        }
        if( s.isBlue )
        {
            setForeground( Color.blue );
        }
        return( this );
    }
}
