Adding Items to JList in an application during execution that is read from a JextFiel

[Arun Kumar]

How can I add a item to a list when ever I am running an application ?
The Item should be read from a JTextField in that application.

not sure what you mean. you can extend AbstractListModel. Then when you want to add something to the list just add it to the underlying data structure you used and call fireContentsChanged on the ListModel

I mean, If we typed some text in perticular JTextField and when we pressed enter, Then that string must be added to a JList which already contains some elements and previous elements must not be erased.

here's some code snippets...

add an actionlistener to the textfield

_textField.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
				doTextEntry();
			}
		});

protected void doTextEntry() {
  String s = _textField.getText("");
  _textField.setText("");
 
  //put s into your list model data structure
  wordList.add(s)
  //call fireContentsChanged on the list model to repaint gui
  listModel.fireContentsChanged()
}
