change textfont in specified rows/elements in a JList

[Tom]

Hi,

I have a JList and i want some of it's rows/elements to show in a different
font(i.e bold) than the rest. Can you change the output text looks to specified
elements in the JList? How?

Best regards
Tom

read the docs in JList on using a ListCellRenderer. Are you sure you
mean JList not JTable?

If you meant JTable, you want to write a TableCellRenderer.

You might want to read the chapter in a Swing book on these beasts.

The crucial fact to keep in mind is that the default JLabel component
you render is the same for all cells, so any changes you make to it
will reflected in all other cells. In other words, set ALL the
attributes you change for any cell.
