selected

int[] selected

selected is an array that will contain the indices of items that have been selected.

See Also:

Constructor Detail

List

public List()
     throws HeadlessException

Suppressed: Creates a new scrolling list. By default, there are four visible lines and multiple selections are not allowed. Note that this is a convenience method for List(0, false). Also note that the number of visible lines in the list cannot be changed after it has been created.

See Also:

List

public List(int rows)
     throws HeadlessException

Suppressed: Creates a new scrolling list initialized with the specified number of visible lines. By default, multiple selections are not allowed. Note that this is a convenience method for List(rows, false). Also note that the number of visible rows in the list cannot be changed after it has been created.

Parameters:

List

public List(int rows,
            boolean multipleMode)
     throws HeadlessException

Suppressed: Creates a new scrolling list initialized to display the specified number of rows. Note that if zero rows are specified, then the list will be created with a default of four rows. Also note that the number of visible rows in the list cannot be changed after it has been created. If the value of multipleMode is true, then the user can select multiple items from the list. If it is false, only one item at a time can be selected.

Parameters:

rows - the number of items to show.

multipleMode - if true, then multiple selections are allowed; otherwise, only one item can be selected at a time.
