JList with JScrollPane and prototype cell value wraps element names (replaces with dots instead of s
- by Tom
I've got a Jlist inside a JScrollPane and I've set a prototype value so that it doesn't have to calculate the width for big lists, but just uses this default width.
Now, the problem is that the Jlist is for some reason replacing the end of an element with dots (...) so that a horizontal scrollbar will never be shown.
How do I disable with "wrapping"? So that long elements are not being replaced with dots if they are wider than the Jlist's width?
I've reproduced the issue in a small example application. Please run it if you don't understand what I mean:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Test
{
//window
private static final int windowWidth = 450;
private static final int windowHeight = 500;
//components
private JFrame frame;
private JList classesList;
private DefaultListModel classesListModel;
public Test()
{
load();
}
private void load()
{
//create window
frame = new JFrame("Test");
frame.setSize(windowWidth, windowHeight);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.getRootPane().setWindowDecorationStyle(JRootPane.PLAIN_DIALOG);
//classes list
classesListModel = new DefaultListModel();
classesList = new JList(classesListModel);
classesList.setPrototypeCellValue("prototype value");
classesList.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
classesList.setVisibleRowCount(20);
JScrollPane scrollClasses = new JScrollPane(classesList, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
for (int i = 0; i < 200; i++)
{
classesListModel.addElement("this is a long string, does not fit in width");
}
//panel
JPanel drawingArea = new JPanel();
drawingArea.setBackground(Color.white);
drawingArea.add(scrollClasses);
frame.add(drawingArea);
//set visible
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
Even if you force horizontal scrollbar, you still won't be able to scroll because the element is actually not wider than the width because of the dot (...) wrapping.
Thanks in advance.
