How to set ToolTips for JList Items

Hello, I'm looking for an example on how to display the entire JList item when my mouse moves onto it. Thanks for all.

Override the getLIstCellRenderer(...) method in the ListCellRenderer

Thanks Watfor, for your reply, however, I'm afraid to miss something (certainly because I'm not skilled enough in Java).

I haven't found the getLIstCellRenderer(...) method of ListCellRenderer, but only getLIstCellRendererComponent(...).Even if it was the method name you wanted to tell about, I do not know how to get the JList item text (or index) on which the mouse is located and then set the ToolTipText.If you have a sample to share, I would really appreciate.

Thanks again

Gege

JList list = new JList() {

public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent e) {

int row = locationToIndex(e.getPoint());

return getModel().getElementAt(row).toString();

}

};
