I am still quite new to Netbeans interface but I would like to ask for help with some coding. My intention is to make a GUI where it would be populated with the files that are stored in the specified directory which I have succeeded.
However, now I wish to include check box beside the file name that are displayed in the checklist. So when user checked the check the check box or check boxes, it can open the files that are stored in the folder and displayed on the JList
.
How could I allow user to select and open multiple files by checking the checkboxs without using the ctrl keys?
Below is my code.
public status() {
initComponents();
DefaultListModel model1 = new DefaultListModel();
File o = new File("c:/Users/zikai/Desktop/test");
File[] yourFileList = o.listFiles();
jList1.setCellRenderer(new CheckboxListCellRenderer());
for(File f : yourFileList) {
model1.addElement(/*ch[i]*/ f.getName());
}
jList1.setModel(model1);
}
