Hello there,

I was wondering if someone can help me. I am quite new to Java so
apologies for my lack of knowledge.

I have created a JList list with a listModel and I am using the
addElement() method to add a string to the JList.

private JList list;
private DefaultListModel listModel;
listModel = new DefaultListModel();
list = new JList(listModel);
listModel.addElement( aString );

So for instance if I press a JButton with JAVA written on it the string
'JAVA' appears on the JList.

I have also used several JButton to create a QWERTY keyboard. I want to
use the keyboard buttons on my application to write JAVA (or any word)
on the JList.

For example when I press the JButton, J the letter 'J' appears on
screen:

J

when I press the JButton, A the letter 'A' appears on screen in the
same position in the list next to where the letter J is:

JA

and so on.

There are three methods in the DefaultListModel class that adds an
element to a JList:

add()
addElement()
insertelementAt()

None of these seems to let me do what I want. Do i need to create a
method like the append() method in the JTextArea class?

Would it be easier to replace the string 'J' with the string 'JA' in
the list at a specified index?
Any suggestions?

By the way is it possible to view the code of methods in the API using
JBuilder ( I have version 1.3)?

Thanks
