Aligning Items in JComboBox

[Hal Vaughan]

I have a JComboBox with a list of numbers, from 1 digit to 5 digits.
Numbers with more than 3 digits have a comma in them.

I've been aligning them with leading spaces. Is there any simple and quick
way to align all the items in a JComboBox with the right edge of the box
(which, in this case, would mean all columns keep the same place value)?

Thanks!

I've not tried this out but it might work...

myCombo.setRenderer(new DefaultListCellRenderer(){
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
JList l,Object o,int i,boolean s, boolean f){
Component c=super.getListCellRendererComponent(l,o,i,s,f);
if(c instanceof JLabel)
((JLabel)c).setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstan ts.RIGHT);
}
});

If it doesn't, try changing "DefaultListCellRenderer" to
"javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicComboBoxRenderer" ? Or look at the docs
for these classes.

sorry - and "return c" afterwards!

Thanks! I'll see how it works. If it doesn't, it also gives me a starting
point, so I can read up on DefaultListCellRenderer().
