Re: JList: Scroll to Selected Item

I'm using Java 1.4.2 and I've tried searching for this and can't find it,

There are times a JList (in a JScrollPane) is reloaded. On some platforms,
apparently, when I reload it, even though I make sure the same item stays
selected, users report that the list then resets to show the top of the
list only.

Maybe I'm mixing things up, but I was sure I saw something like
scrollToSelected() for a JList or JScrollPane, but I can't find it in the
API index and couldn't find it in a search. Is it under a different
wording or is there another method that scrolls a JList to show the
selected item?

Thanks!

See JList.ensureIndexIsVisible() and JList.setSelectedValue()
