How to italic some texts in a JList

shoa · Apr 25, 2004

Hello all

I have JList with texts (I use labels for texts). Now I want to have some
texts are italic, some are not. Could you please tell me how to do that

Thank you for your help

Read the API docs, JList extends JComponent, which has setFont(Font).

That would be the best way to go for italic,
but if you needed something a little more,
you could also use HTML as the text..

<html><body>
italic bold text2
</body></html>

Note though, that the JVM needs to load
a larger number more classes before it
can render HTML, so Mike's method should
be significantly faster.

The super fast approach, is to render with drawString in your own
custom component. I posted an paint method yesterday that could be
used to do generic text painting in a variety of fonts, styles,
colours and sizes.

The disadvantage is that the user cannot select/copy/paste. The
result is a bit image the end user cannot manipulate or update.
