Hi. I am new here. I am developing free POS...
Is it possible to double align text, eg. 1 item on the left and price on the right?
I already figure it out I can use <html> tags to get double lines in jlist element.

I haven't followed that link. But if your question is about how to get the data in a JList to align itself into columns, well, that's what a JTable is for.

Thanks! Jtable is great! Only problem is visual one. How can I make row selection without that border in the middle?

I think this discussion would sit better on our GUIs forum. Moving.

You can use either a JList or a JTable with a custom renderer. Read about renderers here.

For a list, the renderer could be a JPanel with two JLabels with appropriate horizontal alignment. Or you could use a BoxLayout and add a horizontal glue between the two labels.

For a table, you could extend DefaultTableCellRenderer and invoke the super implementation of getTableCellRendererComponent with the hasFocus parameter false.

I am using JTable as recommended. Superimplementation removes focus (blue line), but joint edges between two horizontal cells in the middle is still there...

Read the API for methods that set whether the gridlines are painted shown.

The only problem is that that method also removes the horizontal lines, not just the vertical lines.

Edit: scratch that. I was only aware of the method to show all or nothing. Apparently there are also methods to show only vertical or only horizontal.

or



It removes them but if 1 cell is selected, entire row gets selected. And vertical lines between cells are still visible
