How to create a horizontal JList?

[Qusay Jaafar]

I need JList into a GUI but I need to scroll its elements horizontally not vertically.
just consider its element (right now) as one object.

Check out the information for the setLayoutOrientation method in the Method Details section of the JList api.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class ListTest
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String[] options = { "VERTICAL", "HORIZONTAL_WRAP", "VERTICAL_WRAP" };
        JList list = new JList(options);
        list.setVisibleRowCount(1);
        list.setLayoutOrientation(JList.HORIZONTAL_WRAP);
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(list));
        f.setSize(400,100);
        f.setLocation(200,200);
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}

thanks for that.
my second question is:
consider these information:

first name
last name
address
email
phone

I want all those information to be in one element. when the user scroll to another element there will be another information for another person.
How can achieve that?

Hi,

I think OOPS will help u out of this problem

Make a class like Employee or Person

with variable like Name,phone etc what u need.

in your JList add this Object and in
the Class toString() method return Name+Phone+...; etc

Use Default List model if necessary.

addElemet takes Object as argument .


BBye
