Dragging rows in JTable

Can anybody tell me how to drag and drop rows in JTable?
if someone could give me a code snippet (Or) refer to an example, i will be very happy !.\
Thanks
Shriram

By the way, I just tested this assumption of mine, and found I was wrong if you're using default JTable drag and drop.
However, I'm using my own implementation. I notice in a simple program without any drag and drop, I get the behavior I mentioned above, so I'm guessing this IS default JTable behavior, which is then modified by the built-in drag and drop support.
So the trick will be, how to do what built-in drag and drop is doing, without using built-in drag and drop. :-)

How to hide row in JTable?

Hi all,
How to hide some specific rows in JTable for user view filtering purpose?
Thanks

Try to use the Table Model.
The "getValueAt" Methode decide what to Display.
So a simple "if" command can hide the complete row - or a single Statement.
public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
StueliTeil tabellenzeile = (StueliTeil) getDaten().get(row);
switch (col) {
case 0 :
return tabellenzeile.getUmfang();
case 1 :
return tabellenzeile.getTakt();

How to remove a row from JTable

Hi!
I'm used to remove rows from JTables getting the model and doing a removeRow(num) like this:
((DefaultTableModel)jTable1.getModel()).removeRow(0);
But with ADF and JDeveloper the model says it's a JUTableBinding.JUTableModel but its not accessible.

Or maybe is just better to refresh data in the jTable but I do not know either like doing it.

Delete row in JTable

Hello I am new To JAVA SWING
I have 2 questions related to JTable
1) How do i remove selected row in JTable ...for instance, I click on the row to delete (It is selected) , later I press the delete button, and then row is removed .... any hints ?
2) If I would like to save the rows in a JTable into a database , .... How can iterate through the rows in the JTable..each row .... the rows are saved in a List object...and a List Object is what I pass as a parameter in a class method in order to be saved into Database.
Thanks,
deibys

1) use the removeRow(...) method of the DefaultTableModel
20 use table.getModel().getValueAt(...) to get the data from the model and create your list Object.

Hi,
All the thing you have to do is to return a boolean for the column. JTable will use a checkbox (as default) to show boolean values.

Hide row in Jtable

Please I need help

Selecting Row in JTable

Dear friends,
When i select a whole row in JTable it gets selected but the background color of the row selected does not change. i.e. Its not highlighted as in MS-Excel.
How can i overcome this problem?
Kindly reply
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanx for ur inputs. This is what the code i wrote. When u run this code,
If we select row1 column1 the cells highlighted will be on row 2, 3 and 4. If we select row1 column 2 the selected cells will be on row 1, 3 and 4. I want the row to be selected fully when we select coumn 1 only.
For eg. if i select row 200 from column 1 the 200 th row should only be fully highlighted
Anyway i'll try the above code and check
Here is the code
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class table1 extends JFrame
     // Variables declaration
     private JTable jTable1;
     private JScrollPane jScrollPane1;
     private JPanel contentPane;
     // End of variables declaration
     public table1()
          super();
          this.setVisible(true);
     private void initializeComponent()
          jTable1 = new JTable();
          jScrollPane1 = new JScrollPane();
          contentPane = (JPanel)this.getContentPane();
          jTable1.setModel(new DefaultTableModel(4, 4));
          jScrollPane1.setViewportView(jTable1);
          contentPane.setLayout(null);
          addComponent(contentPane, jScrollPane1, 58,65,301,207);
          this.setTitle("table1 - extends JFrame");
          this.setLocation(new Point(0, 0));
          this.setSize(new Dimension(473, 539));
     private void addComponent(Container container,Component c,int x,int
y,int width,int height)
          c.setBounds(x,y,width,height);
          container.add(c);
     } Thanks again

Query regarding updating rows in JTable

Query regarding updating rows in JTable
Hello,
I have a JTable with 6 columns and 1000s of rows (which are data read from flat files)
I can select 1 or more rows and change the values of the
columns. each time I do this I need to update the values
in the flat file.
Currently I assign the updated Jtable values to a vector
Vector rowVector = (Vector)defaultModel.getDataVector();
then I iterate over the vector and compare the values with the (old) data
in the JTable.
            for(int rowCount = 0; rowCount<rowVector.size(); rowCount++){
                Vector v = (Vector)rowVector.elementAt(rowCount);
                    //smsList is the Vector that contains the old JTable values
                    for(int i=0; i<smsList.size(); i++){
                            //If colums values have been changed; add that
                            //vector value to another vector
                            selectedsmsList.add(smsList.get(i));
            for(int i=0; i<selectedsmsList.size(); i++){
                     //Update the values in the flat file
            }This works fine except that it takes ages to iterate over the updated vecor and un-updated,old vector; is there any way to directly get the list of rows that were updated in the jtable; so that I can directly do an I/O operation to update the jtablke values?

Just a suggestion.
You could add a listener and use a vector of booleans to keep track of the rows that have been changed. You could then iterate through this boolean vector and update the changed rows.
See
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#modelchange
Don't know whether this will be helpful.

Problem adding columns and rows in JTable

hi, hope somebody can help me
i have some problems when i add columns and later i try to set number of rows in JTable, ocurr some exceptions
my code is something like thisJTable tabla = new JTable();
TableColumn tc = new TableColumn();
tc.setHeaderValue("col1");
tc.setPreferredWidth(20);
tabla.getColumnModel().addColumn(tc);up to here everything goes well, my table shows the column, but when i add this line((DefaultTableModel)tabla.getModel()).setNumRows(1);ocurrs the next exception
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0 >= 0....
any ideas????

oks, that would work when the JTable is created, but now we say that I require a method which adds a new row to the JTable a some moment of execution
Look some of my code
i have this in a JFrame...
JTable tabla = new JTable();
DefaultTableModel tm = new DefaultTableModel();
tabla.setModel(tm);
agrCol("Col1", 80);
agrCol("Col2", 160);
agrFil();
agrFil();
agrCol(String col, int lon) {
tm.addColumn(col);
tabla.getColumn(col).setPreferedWith(lon);
agrFil() {
tm.setRowCount(tabla.getRowCount() + 1);
the jtable shows the 2 columns and 2 rows, but the setPreferedWith work only in the last col, i'm confused
