All Implemented Interfaces:

```
public class List
extends Component
implements ItemSelectable, Accessible
```
The List component presents the user with a scrolling list of text items. The list can be set up so that the user can choose either one item or multiple items.
For example, the code . . .
```
 List lst = new List(4, false);
 lst.add("Mercury");
 lst.add("Venus");
 lst.add("Earth");
 lst.add("JavaSoft");
 lst.add("Mars");
 lst.add("Jupiter");
 lst.add("Saturn");
 lst.add("Uranus");
 lst.add("Neptune");
 lst.add("Pluto");
 cnt.add(lst);
 
```
where cnt is a container, produces the following scrolling list:

If the List allows multiple selections, then clicking on an item that is already selected deselects it. In the preceding example, only one item from the scrolling list can be selected at a time, since the second argument when creating the new scrolling list is false. If the List does not allow multiple selections, selecting an item causes any other selected item to be deselected.
Note that the list in the example shown was created with four visible rows. Once the list has been created, the number of visible rows cannot be changed. A default List is created with four rows, so that lst = new List() is equivalent to list = new List(4, false).
Beginning with Java 1.1, the Abstract Window Toolkit sends the List object all mouse, keyboard, and focus events that occur over it. (The old AWT event model is being maintained only for backwards compatibility, and its use is discouraged.)
When an item is selected or deselected by the user, AWT sends an instance of ItemEvent to the list. When the user double-clicks on an item in a scrolling list, AWT sends an instance of ActionEvent to the list following the item event. AWT also generates an action event when the user presses the return key while an item in the list is selected.
If an application wants to perform some action based on an item in this list being selected or activated by the user, it should implement ItemListener or ActionListener as appropriate and register the new listener to receive events from this list.
For multiple-selection scrolling lists, it is considered a better user interface to use an external gesture (such as clicking on a button) to trigger the action.
Since:

JDK1.0

public ItemListener[] getItemListeners()
```
    Returns an array of all the item listeners registered on this list.

  - addActionListener
```
public void addActionListener(ActionListener l)
```
    Adds the specified action listener to receive action events from this list. Action events occur when a user double-clicks on a list item or types Enter when the list has the keyboard focus.
    If listener l is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.
    Refer to AWT Threading Issues for details on AWT's threading model.
    
    Parameters:
    l - the action listener

    removeActionListener(java.awt.event.ActionListener), getActionListeners(), ActionEvent, ActionListener
  - removeActionListener
```
public void removeActionListener(ActionListener l)
```
    Removes the specified action listener so that it no longer receives action events from this list. Action events occur when a user double-clicks on a list item. If listener l is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.
    Refer to AWT Threading Issues for details on AWT's threading model.
    
    Parameters:
    l - the action listener

public ActionListener[] getActionListeners()
```
    Returns an array of all the action listeners registered on this list.
    
    Returns:
    all of this list's ActionListeners or an empty array if no action listeners are currently registered

  - getListeners
```
public <T extends EventListener> T[] getListeners(Class<T> listenerType)
```
    Returns an array of all the objects currently registered as FooListeners upon this List. FooListeners are registered using the addFooListener method.
    You can specify the listenerType argument with a class literal, such as FooListener.class. For example, you can query a List l for its item listeners with the following code:
```
ItemListener[] ils = (ItemListener[])(l.getListeners(ItemListener.class));
```
    If no such listeners exist, this method returns an empty array.
    Overrides:
    
    getListeners in class Component
    
    Parameters:
    listenerType - the type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from java.util.EventListener
    
    Returns:
    an array of all objects registered as FooListeners on this list, or an empty array if no such listeners have been added
    
    Throws:
    
    ClassCastException - if listenerType doesn't specify a class or interface that implements java.util.EventListener

    1.3

    getItemListeners()
  - processEvent
```
protected void processEvent(AWTEvent e)
```
    Processes events on this scrolling list. If an event is an instance of ItemEvent, it invokes the processItemEvent method. Else, if the event is an instance of ActionEvent, it invokes processActionEvent. If the event is not an item event or an action event, it invokes processEvent on the superclass.
    Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.
    
    Overrides:
    
    processEvent in class Component
    
    Parameters:
    e - the event
    Since:
    
    JDK1.1
    
    See Also:
    ActionEvent, ItemEvent, processActionEvent(java.awt.event.ActionEvent), processItemEvent(java.awt.event.ItemEvent)
  - processItemEvent
```
protected void processItemEvent(ItemEvent e)
```
    Processes item events occurring on this list by dispatching them to any registered ItemListener objects.
    This method is not called unless item events are enabled for this component. Item events are enabled when one of the following occurs:
    - An ItemListener object is registered via addItemListener.
    - Item events are enabled via enableEvents.
    Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.
    Parameters:
    e - the item event
    Since:
    
    JDK1.1
    
    See Also:
    ItemEvent, ItemListener, addItemListener(java.awt.event.ItemListener), Component.enableEvents(long)
  - processActionEvent
```
protected void processActionEvent(ActionEvent e)
```
    Processes action events occurring on this component by dispatching them to any registered ActionListener objects.
    This method is not called unless action events are enabled for this component. Action events are enabled when one of the following occurs:
    - An ActionListener object is registered via addActionListener.
    - Action events are enabled via enableEvents.
    Note that if the event parameter is null the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.
    Parameters:
    e - the action event
    Since:
    
    JDK1.1
    
    See Also:
    ActionEvent, ActionListener, addActionListener(java.awt.event.ActionListener), Component.enableEvents(long)
  - paramString
```
protected String paramString()
```
    Returns the parameter string representing the state of this scrolling list. This string is useful for debugging.
    
    Overrides:
    
    paramString in class Component
    
    Returns:
    the parameter string of this scrolling list
  - delItems
```
@Deprecated
public void delItems(int start,
                       int end)
```
    Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, Not for public use in the future. This method is expected to be retained only as a package private method.
  - getAccessibleContext
```
public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
```
    Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this List. For lists, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleAWTList. A new AccessibleAWTList instance is created, if necessary.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getAccessibleContext in interface Accessible
    
    Overrides:
    
    getAccessibleContext in class Component
    
    Returns:
    an AccessibleAWTList that serves as the AccessibleContext of this List
    Since:
    
    1.3
