  • Method Details

    • getItems

      public List<T> getItems()
      Returns a copy of the list of all items in this list, regardless of whether they are selected or not.

    • getSelectedItems

      public List<T> getSelectedItems()
      Returns a list of all the items in this list that are currently selected. This list may be empty if nothing is selected.

    • setItems

      public ListProperty<T> setItems(List<T> items)
      Sets the items to include in the list. This will reset any current selection.

    • setSelectedItems

      public ListProperty<T> setSelectedItems(List<T> items)
      Clears any current selection and marks each of the given items as selected, if the item exists. Note: this may not do what you expect it to do depending on the current selection mode (default selection mode is MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION, which allows multiple non-contiguous items to be selected).

    • setSelectionMode

      public ListProperty<T> setSelectionMode(int selectionMode)
      Sets the list selection model (allowable values are ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION, ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION, and ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION). Any other value is ignored. The default value is MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION.

    • setLayoutOrientation

      public ListProperty<T> setLayoutOrientation(int orientation)
      Sets the layout orientation (allowable values are JList.VERTICAL, JList.VERTICAL_WRAP, and JList.HORIZONTAL_WRAP). Any other value is ignored. The default value is VERTICAL.

    • setVisibleRowCount

      public ListProperty<T> setVisibleRowCount(int count)
      Sets the desired visible row count. The default count is 4.

    • getFixedCellWidth

      public int getFixedCellWidth()
      Returns the pixel width of each list cell. A value of -1 here means the list cells will auto-size their widths based on the width of the longest item in the list.

    • setFixedCellWidth

      public ListProperty<T> setFixedCellWidth(int width)
      Sets the pixel width of each list cell. The default value is -1, which will set each cell's width to the width of the largest item.
