Hi,

Does anyone have good examples of how to create a JList with checkboxes?
I found one dated 1999 but I think there might be a better way.

Any advice on how to do this is appreciated.

What 'one' did you find?

What makes you think there is a better way?

Is this your homework?

This is the 'one' that I found:

As I posted, it's dated 1999. The JDK has undergone several revisions
since then -- that's what makes me think there 'might' be a better
method. And since I haven't done this particular thing using Swing
before, I'm just asking.

Is this unnecessary sarcasm?? I asked an honest question. If you have
issues with my post (for some inexplicable reason) how about just saying
so? By the way...I haven't had "homework" to do for about 12 years.

override the cellrenderer, make your your cell renderer extend JCheckBox.
