This interface represents the current state of the
selection for any of the components that display a
list of values with stable indices.  The selection is
modeled as a set of intervals, each interval represents
a contiguous range of selected list elements.
The methods for modifying the set of selected intervals
all take a pair of indices, index0 and index1, that represent
a closed interval, i.e. the interval includes both index0 and
index1.

Changes the selection to be between index0 and index1 inclusive. index0 doesn't have to be less than or equal to index1.

Changes the selection to be the set union of the current selection and the indices between index0 and index1 inclusive. index0 doesn't have to be less than or equal to index1. 
 In SINGLE_SELECTION selection mode, this is equivalent to calling setSelectionInterval, and only the second index is used. In SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION selection mode, this method behaves like setSelectionInterval, unless the given interval is immediately adjacent to or overlaps the existing selection, and can therefore be used to grow the selection. 
 If this represents a change to the current selection, then each ListSelectionListener is notified of the change.

Changes the selection to be the set difference of the current selection and the indices between index0 and index1 inclusive. index0 doesn't have to be less than or equal to index1. 
 In SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION selection mode, if the removal would produce two disjoint selections, the removal is extended through the greater end of the selection. For example, if the selection is 0-10 and you supply indices 5,6 (in any order) the resulting selection is 0-4. 
 If this represents a change to the current selection, then each ListSelectionListener is notified of the change.

    void removeIndexInterval(int index0, int index1);

    
Sets the valueIsAdjusting property, which indicates whether or not upcoming selection changes should be considered part of a single change. The value of this property is used to initialize the valueIsAdjusting property of the ListSelectionEvents that are generated. 
 For example, if the selection is being updated in response to a user drag, this property can be set to true when the drag is initiated and set to false when the drag is finished. During the drag, listeners receive events with a valueIsAdjusting property set to true. At the end of the drag, when the change is finalized, listeners receive an event with the value set to false. Listeners can use this pattern if they wish to update only when a change has been finalized. 
 Setting this property to true begins a series of changes that is to be considered part of a single change. When the property is changed back to false, an event is sent out characterizing the entire selection change (if there was one), with the event's valueIsAdjusting property set to false.

Sets the selection mode. The following list describes the accepted
selection modes:

    

  • ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION - Only one list index can be selected at a time. In this mode, setSelectionInterval and addSelectionInterval are equivalent, both replacing the current selection with the index represented by the second argument (the "lead"). 
  • ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION - Only one contiguous interval can be selected at a time. In this mode, addSelectionInterval behaves like setSelectionInterval (replacing the current selection), unless the given interval is immediately adjacent to or overlaps the existing selection, and can therefore be used to grow it. 
  • ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION - In this mode, there's no restriction on what can be selected.
