Identifies components that can be used as "rubber stamps" to paint
the cells in a JList. For example, to use a JLabel as a
ListCellRenderer, you would write something like this:
getListCellRendererComponent(JList list,
Object value,
int index,
boolean isSelected,
boolean cellHasFocus)
Return a component that has been configured to display the specified
value.
Method Detail
getListCellRendererComponent
public ComponentgetListCellRendererComponent(JList list,
Object value,
int index,
boolean isSelected,
boolean cellHasFocus)
Return a component that has been configured to display the specified
value. That component's paint method is then called to
"render" the cell. If it is necessary to compute the dimensions
of a list because the list cells do not have a fixed size, this method
is called to generate a component on which getPreferredSize
can be invoked.
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.
