Unable to select/deselect items in a JList while it is performing some task

[Subhalaxmi]

Hi,
I am using JList to show some data in JScrollPane.If I am selecting some items from the JList to perform some task I am unable to deselect them or select any other items from the JList until the completion of the task .

I want to deselect selected items or select the other items to perform some other task before completion of the 1st task.

I am using swing,awt in my code to develop the GUI.I tried by creating child thread todeslect the items,but unable to deselect.

Can any one help me how can I use the JList items to perform some other task before comletion of the 1st task.

You are probably creating a child thread for the wrong task. You may be better served creating a child thread to gather the data that is displayed in the JScrollPane, the thread that is currently freezing your GUI. A SwingWorker may work well here.

JList.clearSelection();

clearSelection() Method is used to Deselect the all selected values;
