My program needs to tell whether two Students were selected, and if so I need to output to the screen their averages. I got the first specification which works for only one selection (just shows grade) but I have no idea to tell whether they selected two from the list...


Thanks!

Never mind I got it...turns out there's a getSelectedIndices(); method!
int[] indices=list.getSelectedIndices();

Yayy and I figured it out all by myself :D

Now I'm trying to figure out how to make the JLabel that I'm changing skip down to the second line because it keeps going off the screen. \n isn't working, any help there?

Use JList.getSelectedIndices() to get all of the selected indices.
Edit: Cross-posted. Use html in your label to generate multiple lines.

Thanks! I figured it out but thanks for your help and replying, it means a lot. :)

Yes sorry, I managed to cross-post while you were posting that you'd figured it out.

Did you catch my edit about using HTML to create multiple lines in your label? You can use <br> to separate them.

Ya thanks, now I'm just working on changing the font of my Jlabel.
