JList selection

I have a JList on a JScrollPane. When my user puts their mouse over each of the items in the list, I want the appropriate item highlighted. The mouse entered event doesn't seem to work, and I don't want this to come off of a click.

Please help!

The following piece of code should work for you.


listbox.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter() {
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent me) {
int selectedIndex = listbox.locationToIndex(me.getPoint());
if (selectedIndex < 0)
return;
listbox.setSelectedIndex(selectedIndex);
listbox.repaint();
}
});
