Programatically Select an Item in a JList

Question

Hi,
I need to do this: Programmatically select an item in a JList.
JList.selectItem(0) will select the item 0 in the model but it will NOT visually highlight the selected item in the list.
Neither will ensureIndexIsVisible(0),
I need to automatically select and item in a list (highlight that item as well)
As if someone has clicked on that item with the mouse.. however they haven't you see, my program has done it, programatically.
Please don't refer me to the beginners guide to java, or the API documentation, the answer is not there.
Thanks

If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.
