Class DefaultListModel

java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.AbstractListModel
      javax.swing.DefaultListModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ListModel

public class DefaultListModel
extends AbstractListModel

This class loosely implements the java.util.Vector API, in that it implements the 1.1.x version of java.util.Vector, has no collection class support, and notifies the ListDataListeners when changes occur. Presently it delegates to a Vector, in a future release it will be a real Collection implementation.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Constructor Detail

DefaultListModel

public DefaultListModel()

getSize

public int getSize()

Returns the number of components in this list.

This method is identical to size, which implements the List interface defined in the 1.2 Collections framework. This method exists in conjunction with setSize so that size is identifiable as a JavaBean property.

Returns:

the number of components in this list

See Also:

size()

getElementAt

public Object getElementAt(int index)

Returns the component at the specified index.

Note: Although this method is not deprecated, the preferred method to use is get(int), which implements the List interface defined in the 1.2 Collections framework.

Parameters:

index - an index into this list

Returns:

the component at the specified index

Throws:

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is negative or greater than the current size of this list

See Also:

get(int)

copyInto

public void copyInto(Object[] anArray)

removeRange

public void removeRange(int fromIndex,
                        int toIndex)

Deletes the components at the specified range of indexes. The removal is inclusive, so specifying a range of (1,5) removes the component at index 1 and the component at index 5, as well as all components in between.
