public class DefaultListModel

extends AbstractListModel

This class implements the java.util.Vector API and notifies the JListDataModel listeners when changes occur. Presently it delegates to a Vector, in a future release it will be a real Collection implementation.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.

Method Detail

getSize

public int getSize()

the number of components in this list.
