List Layout (Java)

[RedBassett]

Wow, I really haven't been around here in a while!

I am back with questions though:

I want to use a Java GUI list that contains rows and columns, as well as headers for each column. By columns, I mean that each row has multiple fields displayed (but the row can only be selected as a whole.

Can someone at least tell me what this sort of list is called? (Or even provide links that may help?)

You mean like GridLayout? I think any more complicated and you're getting into GridBagLayout. Or you could have a look at different ones here:

Below is an image of the list type I am looking for (without any content):


Another question on the same list: Is tyhe background striping a different element? Or is this a sort of list class that supports that type of thing?

EDIT:
Third question:
Also regarding lists, is there a way with A JList (or any other type) to deslect the last item selected when the user clicks anywhere inside or outside the list (without clicking on list data)?
