Make JList Values Unselectable [duplicate]

Question

I was wondering how to modify a JList so that clicking any values would not do anything. I have looked at other questions but none have helped.

Answer 1

I solved it by using the following class:

class DisabledItemSelectionModel extends DefaultListSelectionModel {

    @Override
    public void setSelectionInterval(int index0, int index1) {
        super.setSelectionInterval(-1, -1);
    }
}

I instantiated the class here:

console.setSelectionModel(new DisabledItemSelectionModel());

Adversative

This method still allows the user to select elements with CTRL + Mouse1 click unless selection model is set to SINGLE_SELECTION. – Belenbelesprit

For me, setting selection mode (!) to SINGLE_SELECTION does not prevent it. But overriding public void addSelectionInterval(int index0, int index1) with the same super.setSelectionInterval(-1, -1); does. – Tisiphone

Answer 2

Assuming your objects in your JList are clickable items, just do setEnabled(false) on all the objects you want to disable

@HovercraftFullOfEels I am writing Strings to the JList, so there's no way I could disable Strings. – Adversative
