public class KeyList

extends javax.swing.JList

implements java.awt.event.KeyListener

This subclass of JList also listens for keystrokes. After an item has been selected via mouseclick, a keystroke jumps to the next occurrence of an entry starting with that character. The list can be set to ignore the leading articles "a", "an" and "the" when a key is pressed.

Constructor Summary

KeyList(java.util.Vector listData)
Initializes the list with the objects in listData.

Method Summary

void	keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e)
void	keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e)
void	keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent e) Responds to a key press by selecting the next list entry beginning with that character, where "next" is determined by the current setting of setIgnoreArticles(boolean).
void	setIgnoreArticles(boolean choice) Sets whether initial articles are to be ignored when a key press moves the selection to the next list item with matching first character.
