Class ListBackedComboBoxModel<E>

java.lang.Object

javax.swing.AbstractListModel<E>

info.bioinfweb.commons.swing.ListBackedListModel<E>

info.bioinfweb.commons.swing.ListBackedComboBoxModel<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the element type of the underlying list and this model

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, javax.swing.ComboBoxModel<E>, javax.swing.ListModel<E>

public class ListBackedComboBoxModel<E>
extends ListBackedListModel<E>
implements javax.swing.ComboBoxModel<E>

An implementation of ComboBoxModel that always reflects the contents of a List.

Note that this model does reflect changes in the underlying list that occur after the creation of this object but will not inform its listeners on these. (The underlying list cannot be monitored.) The methods ListBackedListModel.add(Object), ListBackedListModel.add(int, Object), ListBackedListModel.set(int, Object), ListBackedListModel.remove(int) and ListBackedListModel.clear() allow to edit the underlying list and notify all listeners registered to this model and the same time. It is recommended to use these methods instead of modifying the list directly if changes should be made to a list that is currently displayed in the GUI, e.g., in an instance of JList.
