My entire project is fucked if I can't do this;
Basically, I need to be able to add an element to a JList (doesn't need to be a JList, just needs to be a list component) then have a tag added to the element too, so when I get the selected list item I can cast it to the object I need... I can't really explain it in words, let me explain it in code.
public class MyObject {
public int i;
public MyObject(int i) {
this.i = i;
}
}
public class Main {
public void addJListElement() {
jList.addElement("My object", new MyObject(10));
}
public void getSelectedListElement() {
MyObject myObject = (MyObject)jList.getSelectedElement().getTag();
int i = myObject.i; //should be 10.
}
}
Please excuse the poor code, I was rushing to create an example.
Is there anyway I can make this possible, or do something similar?
