public abstract class ListUI

extends ComponentUI

The JList pluggable look and feel delegate. This interface adds methods that allow the JList component to map locations, e.g. mouse coordinates, to list cells and from cell indices to the bounds of the cell.

Method Summary

abstract Rectangle	getCellBounds(JList list, int index1, int index2) Returns the bounds of the specified item in JList coordinates, null if index isn't valid.
abstract Point	indexToLocation(JList list, int index) Returns the origin of the specified item in JList coordinates, null if index isn't valid.
abstract int	locationToIndex(JList list, Point location) Convert a point in JList coordinates to the closest index of the cell at that location.

Method Detail

locationToIndex

public abstract int locationToIndex(JList list,
                                    Point location)

Convert a point in JList coordinates to the closest index of the cell at that location. To determine if the cell actually contains the specified location use a combination of this method and getCellBounds. Returns -1 if the model is empty.

Parameters:

location - The JList relative coordinates of the cell

Returns:

The index of the cell at location, or -1.

indexToLocation

public abstract Point indexToLocation(JList list,
                                      int index)

Returns the origin of the specified item in JList coordinates, null if index isn't valid.

Parameters:

index - The index of the JList cell.

Returns:

The origin of the index'th cell.

getCellBounds

public abstract Rectangle getCellBounds(JList list,
                                        int index1,
                                        int index2)

Returns the bounds of the specified item in JList coordinates, null if index isn't valid.

Returns:

The bounds of the index'th cell.
