Java - JComboBox中的复选框

Question

I would like to make a JComboBox that has check boxes for items instead of text. In addition, it should be possible to check multiple items and retrieve the selected items from the component. Should I be make a custom ComboBoxUI, ComboBoxEditor, ListCellRenderer, ComboPopUp, or something different entirely? Is there an existing Java control that does this?

Answer 1

This was fairly easy to implement. Found it here link text

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.util.*;

public class JComboCheckBox extends JComboBox {
  public JComboCheckBox() { addStuff(); }
  public JComboCheckBox(JCheckBox[] items) { super(items); addStuff(); }
  public JComboCheckBox(Vector items) { super(items); addStuff(); }
  public JComboCheckBox(ComboBoxModel aModel) { super(aModel); addStuff(); }
  private void addStuff() {
    setRenderer(new ComboBoxRenderer());
    addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) { itemSelected(); }
    });
  }
  private void itemSelected() {
    if (getSelectedItem() instanceof JCheckBox) {
      JCheckBox jcb = (JCheckBox)getSelectedItem();
      jcb.setSelected(!jcb.isSelected());
    }
  }
  class ComboBoxRenderer implements ListCellRenderer {
    private JLabel defaultLabel;
    public ComboBoxRenderer() { setOpaque(true); }
    public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value, int index,
                boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
      if (value instanceof Component) {
        Component c = (Component)value;
        if (isSelected) {
          c.setBackground(list.getSelectionBackground());
          c.setForeground(list.getSelectionForeground());
        } else {
          c.setBackground(list.getBackground());
          c.setForeground(list.getForeground());
        }
        return c;
      } else {
        if (defaultLabel==null) defaultLabel = new JLabel(value.toString());
        else defaultLabel.setText(value.toString());
        return defaultLabel;
      }
    }
  }
}

Answer 2

That's not what combo boxes are "for". Are you sure you don't want, say, a JMenu with JRadioButtonMenuItem s?

If you do really want to proceed, then you'd use a custom renderer, as you suggested .

Answer 3

We were once given this same inane requirement as well. We complied with a brand new component. It was essentially a JPanel which had a text field and a down arrow button. It contained a JList which used a JCheckbox -derrived ListCellRenderer . The JList was packaged in a JPopupMenu which was displayed on mouse clicks.

You can take a look at japura . It's a open source custom component based on swing.
