Constructor Detail

List

public List(Composite parent,
    int style)

Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)

style - the style of control to construct

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
• ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the string is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

See Also:

add(String,int)

add

public void add(java.lang.String string,
       int index)

Adds the argument to the receiver's list at the given zero-relative index.

Note: To add an item at the end of the list, use the result of calling getItemCount() as the index or use add(String).

Parameters:

string - the new item

index - the index for the item

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the string is null
• ERROR_INVALID_RANGE - if the index is not between 0 and the number of elements in the list (inclusive)

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

See Also:

add(String)

addSelectionListener

public void addSelectionListener(SelectionListener listener)

Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the user changes the receiver's selection, by sending it one of the messages defined in the SelectionListener interface.

widgetSelected is called when the selection changes. widgetDefaultSelected is typically called when an item is double-clicked.

Parameters:

listener - the listener which should be notified when the user changes the receiver's selection

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

callWindowProc

int callWindowProc(int hwnd,
                 int msg,
                 int wParam,
                 int lParam)

Overrides:

checkStyle

static int checkStyle(int style)

computeSize

public Point computeSize(int wHint,
                int hHint,
                boolean changed)

Description copied from class: Control

Returns the preferred size of the receiver.

The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.

If the changed flag is true, it indicates that the receiver's contents have changed, therefore any caches that a layout manager containing the control may have been keeping need to be flushed. When the control is resized, the changed flag will be false, so layout manager caches can be retained.

Overrides:

computeSize in class Control

Parameters:

wHint - the width hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)

hHint - the height hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)

changed - true if the control's contents have changed, and false otherwise

Returns:

the preferred size of the control.

defaultBackground

int defaultBackground()

Overrides:

          int end)

Selects the items in the range specified by the given zero-relative indices in the receiver. The range of indices is inclusive. The current selection is not cleared before the new items are selected.

Indices that are out of range are ignored and no items will be selected if start is greater than end.
