Show JList elements in different colors
Hi experts,
I need to show elements in JList in different colors. I have found an example on the web using labels (see below), but if I do this, I can not select elements in JList anymore. Is there anything simpler and better?
Thank you.
class MyCellRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer {
public MyCellRenderer() {
setOpaque(true);
}
public Component getListCellRendererCompone
setText(value.toString());
Tree child = (Tree) value;
setBackground(Color.white)
if (child instanceof ContactVO) {
setForeground(Color.black)
} else {
setForeground(Color.blue);
}
return this;
}
}

No, that does not help.
Simply, if the elements inherits from JLabel, then of course it is not selectable.

try this
public Component getListCellRendererCompone
setText(value.toString());
Tree child = (Tree) value;
if( ! isSelected ){
setBackground(Color.white)
if (child instanceof ContactVO) {
setForeground(Color.black)
} else {
setForeground(Color.blue);
}
}else{
setBackground(list.getSele
setForeground(list.getSele
}
return this;
}
public Component getListCellRendererCompone
setText(value.toString());
Tree child = (Tree) value;
if( ! isSelected ){
setBackground(Color.white)
if (child instanceof ContactVO) {
setForeground(Color.black)
} else {
setForeground(Color.blue);
}
}else{
setBackground(list.getSele
setForeground(list.getSele
}
return this;
}
What happens with your own code?

objects, a few classes are still missing
DefaultStyleFactory
StyledObject
I may just learn from your code rather than use it direct - it is becoming too much additional code. But who knows, maybe I will need all that flexibiility

CEHJ,
my own code shows correct colors, but it does not allow selecting elements in the JList

a few more files on object's site I was able to find myself. Now it works. I guess, no less code than that will not work - but on the other hand, it makes for a pretty fancy interface :)
