I would very much like to make a wide list of items.
Unfortunately, List (JDK 1.0) has two constructors, neither of which specify
width.
I have tried re-sizing the object and using the GridBagLayout fill BOTH,
but neither of them alter the width of list which appears to default to
18-20 chars.
I am attempting to produce a summary list of bugs, then use the selection
mechanism
string = list.getSelectedItem ();
to identify the selected item.
TextArea would be apparently no use, as I am unable to make selections from
there.
Does anybody have any suggestions please ?
Many thanks, Alan Masters.
