Question

I have a JList which is populated after importing a file.
Is it possible to have the first item/element of the JList highlighted/selected.
I have browsed many places hoping to find a line along the lines of

list.setFocus(0);
//or
listSelectionEvent.setSelection(0);
//0 referring to index point of the list

Maybe this isn’t even possible…
?

Answer 1

Use:

    list.setSelectedIndex(0);
