- Every JList has an installed cell renderer that draws every cell.
- A class that implements the ListCellRenderer interface provides this renderer.
- When it's time to draw each cell, the interface's sole method is called.
- The JList has an installed renderer.
- The returned renderer provides the specific rendering for that one cell of the JList.
- The JList uses the rendering to draw the element, and then gets the next renderer.
public interface ListCellRenderer {
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus);
}
