Get selected value from a JList

[Rasta Kalo]

Hi,

I have a Jlist that contains the content of a vector, how can I handle an event such as a double-clicked item in that JList?
What I'm intending to do is getting the appropriate properties for a selected item, and put the values into textfields.

I found the following example in the Java 5.0 API JavaDoc documentation:

// JList doesn't provide any special support for handling double or triple (or N) mouse clicks however it's easy to handle them using a MouseListener. Use the JList method locationToIndex() to determine what cell was clicked. For example:
 
 final JList list = new JList(dataModel);
 MouseListener mouseListener = new MouseAdapter() {
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
         if (e.getClickCount() == 2) {
             int index = list.locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
             System.out.println("Double clicked on Item " + index);
          }
     }
 };
 list.addMouseListener(mouseListener);
