Inserting, selecting and displaying data from a JList!

9 New Member
Hello there,

Can you help me in following problem:

Am working on a chemistry dictionary. I want to have all the chemistry terms in a JList and whenever i select a term from a JList, it displays the meaning in a text area (as any encyclopedia) and the term in a textfield. My questions:

1. How can i load the chemistry terms in to the JList and meanings in the textarea and store them?
2. How can i select a term and diplays it in the textarea?

Please, may you give me where can i start, so i can build this dictionary properly.

Thanks alot!

The first thing you should do is put all the terms in a database from where you can fetch the data when needed.

Post once you have done this...

Hi all I'm using two JLists with the same MouseListener in a JFrame. How can I find out on which JList the MouseEvent was released? Is it generally possible or should I use a MouseListener for each JList? Thanx for your help Roman

My code is this: private JComponent createListBox() { Object test = {"Thingy 1","Thingy...

Apparently ListDataListeners should be used, and I don't seem to be able to find a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
