Re-populating a JList on an ActionListener event

Question

Depending on what they choose in the JComboBox I want the JList to show different strings, not sure how to repopulate a JList though. When searching through the API, still found nothing.

Any idea on how you might code this?

Im using NetBeans by the way for reference.

Answer 1

not sure how to repopulate a JList though

DefaultListModel model = new DefaultListModel(...);
// add items to the model
list.setModel( model );

Or you could use the DefaultComboBoxModel which would allow you to create with model with a Vector or Array.

Answer 2

The setListData() method allows you to reset the contents of the list.
