We would like to know how to handle JList selection changed event.
/*from w w w .j av a 2 s .c o m*/ import java.awt.BorderLayout; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JList; import javax.swing.JScrollPane; import javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent; import javax.swing.event.ListSelectionListener; public class Main { public static void main(String args[]) { String labels[] = { "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H" }; JFrame frame = new JFrame("Selecting JList"); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); JList jlist = new JList(labels); JScrollPane scrollPane1 = new JScrollPane(jlist); frame.add(scrollPane1, BorderLayout.CENTER); ListSelectionListener listSelectionListener = new ListSelectionListener() { public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent listSelectionEvent) { System.out.println("First index: " + listSelectionEvent.getFirstIndex()); System.out.println(", Last index: " + listSelectionEvent.getLastIndex()); boolean adjust = listSelectionEvent.getValueIsAdjusting(); System.out.println(", Adjusting?
