OK, I admit that the word "dynamic" is used a bit. Let's take a look at the effect and explain it first. There is nothing dynamic in the picture. In fact, the effect is that when the item is selected in this way, the selected blue background changes from white to blue ~ Although this kind of dynamic motion is not very practical, the implementation principle is a bit interesting. Let's take a look at 1. Get the selected and unselected background colors through lookandfeel first, in the float [3] [java] www.2cto. comUIDefaults uid = UIManager. getLookAndFeel (). getDefaults (); Color listForeground = uid. getColor ("List. foreground "); float [] foregroundComps = listForeground. getRGBColorComponents (null); 2. In the valueChanged method, start the thread to perform the background gradient effect; By timing, repaint is performed every 50 ms, and a total of 500 ms [java] public void run () is executed () {startTime = System. cur Required timemillis (); stopTime = startTime + ANIMATION_DURATION; while (System. currentTimeMillis () <stopTime) {colorizeSelections (); repaint (); // repaint once every interval of ANIMATION_REFRESH time try {Thread. sleep (ANIMATION_REFRESH);} catch (InterruptedException ie) {}}// one more, at 100% selected color colorizeSelections (); repaint ();} 3. Call the colorizeSelections method to set the background foreground color before repainting. The colorizeSelections method calculates the background color based on time. Display percentage this calculation is actually to take the rgb value of the background as the percentage [java] public void colorizeSelections () {// calculate % completion relative to start/stop times float elapsed = (float) (System. currentTimeMillis ()-startTime); float completeness = Math. min (elapsed/ANIMATION_DURATION), 1.0f); // System. out. println ("completeness =" + completeness); // calculate scaled color float colorizedForeComps [] = new float [3]; float colorizedB AckComps [] = new float [3]; for (int I = 0; I <3; I ++) {colorizedForeComps [I] = foregroundComps [I] + (completeness * (foregroundSelectionComps [I]-foregroundComps [I]); colorizedBackComps [I] = backgroundComps [I] + (completeness * (backgroundSelectionComps [I]-backgroundComps [I]);} the background color is set before repainting, continuously repainting produces a dynamic gradient effect.
