Adding mouse listener to the column header of a column in a JTable

Hi
I want to add a mouse listener to the column header of the 3rd column in a JTable. I dont find any appropriate method to do this. The code I have written to do this is below. But on using this code, the mouselistener is invoked if I click on any column header. Can anyone please help me to fix this.
table.getTableHeader().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
/* some actions */
}

      table.getTableHeader().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
           public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me) {
               int tableColumn =table.columnAtPoint(me.getPoint());//it returns the column index
        });

How to set the column width of JTable

I want do remember the column width and write it to a file, when the window is started , the column width is read from the file and the table is set as that. I also want the column width is not fixed and can be changed by mouse.But I am always failded.
How to do? would you please help me!
Thanks a lots.

To "remember" the column widths, add a mouse listener to the table header. Upon mouseReleased(), get the column widths and save them to your file. When the application starts next time, get the stored widths and set them using:
table.getColumn("XXX").setPreferredWidth(...);
By default, your columns are adjustable, but you can use:
table.getTableHeader().setResizingAllowed(true);

Can i stop the columns in a JTable from re-ordering?

Hi,
As we know, JTable by default allows re-ordering of the columns within it.
I mean to say that the columns in a JTable can be interchanged, by drag and drop utility.
I want to refrain my JTable from doing so.
Can someone please suggest me how can i do this?
Thanx in advance :)
Regards,
Archana

Thank you :)
This did solve my problem of columns getting re-ordered in my JTable.
But i am facing one more problem now :(
I sort my JTable by clicking on the JTableHeader.
Clicking on the column header of any one of the columns of the JTable, sorts all entries in either ascending or descending order.
This is not happening.:(
Can someone please help me out?
Thanx in advance :)

Thanks Varad,
But it didn't worked, The page has option to link only 3 values.
My Target is 'Page in this Application" not a URL.
I used your format and if you apply changes and come back the whole thing is dissappeared and even the link to page in application is inactive.
Is there any other way???
Thanks

EEWB and adding additional fields to the IBASE header

Hello,
I have used the EEWB (Easy Enhancement WorkBench) to add additional fields to the IBASE header. The process ends with a success state and in all steps there are no logs. The objects are generated and visible in the database table of the IBASE header and activated.
When I go to the IB53 transaction the systems starts compiling. After the compiling there are no additional fields visible?
In the EEWB no more actions are possible and it seems only an append structure was created with the new fields (GENERIC_IC_TASK).
How do I get the fields to be visible in the IBASE transaction?
I am using CRM 5.0.

Ramakanth/Kiran,
For creating screen structures or additional fields on the IBase header screen you would need to manually append entries in Database Tables T371D.... through T371Z, it is a set of around12-14 tables depending on the scenario which would need updations.
Once updated in the right sequence you can see the EEWB fields on the Ibase header screen.
Hope this helps.

Adding element RelatesTo to the soap header

Hi All,
I need to replace wsa05:MessageID element in the soap header with the following value
<wsa05:MessageID>fn-bea:uuid()</wsa05:MessageID>
<wsa05:RelatesTo>$header/wsa05:MessageID/text()</wsa05:RelatesTo>
How would I do that in OSB proxy service?

You may use Insert or Assign or Replace action -

How could i listen to the column width changed event of a tableview

I really want to do some painting when the column is resized manually.
but it seems that there's not a column reszie event in javafx, is there?

TableColumn dateCol = new TableColumn("Date");
dateCol.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory("longrowid"));
dateCol.widthProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener(){
        @Override public void changed(ObservableValue o,Object oldVal,
                 Object newVal){
             System.out.println("Width property has changed!");
      });

Adding content will resize the column

I'll create a table and then whenever I add content to any
cell, that whole column will resize (even if the content did not
fill the whole width of the column). How can I stop the columns
from resizing whenever I add content in it?

That's how table cells work -they stretch or shrink depending
on the content
within them.
What exactly are you trying to do - can you link a sample
page and explain
what exactly you are having problems with - there are
probably ways to
overcome your issues.

Giving names to the columns in a JTable

Hi,
I am using JTable(int numRows, int numColumns) constructor to create a JTable. After I built my application I came to knw that I cannot change the column names. The JTable in my GUI will keep on changing and the no. of rows,columns and even the column names may also change. I just wanted to know what constructor I should shift to.
Thanks,
Adhiraj

I would use something like the following:
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(columnNames, rowCount);
JTable table = new JTable( model );
The following code gives some examples on using the DefaultTableModel to add rows and columns:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class TableRowColumn extends JFrame

     JTable table;
     DefaultTableModel model;

          // Create table
          Object[][] data = { {"1", "A"}, {"2", "B"}, {"3", "C"} };
          String[] columnNames = {"Number","Letter"};
          model = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames);
          table = new JTable(model);
          table.putClientProperty("terminateEditOnFocusLost", Boolean.TRUE);
          // Add table and a Button panel to the frame
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
          getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
          buttonPanel = new JPanel();
          getContentPane().add( buttonPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH );
          button = new JButton( "Add Row" );

Changing the color of the column in a JTable based on the selection (mouse)

Hi,
I want to change the color of all the cells in a column based on the mouse clicked event.
I have managed to select the entire column. And, even, I have found a working example in the internet. But I don't understand why in my case it doesn't work.
This is the code (an inner class for a TableCellRenderer):
class MCTableCellRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer {
          private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
          @Override
          public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
                    Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,
                    int column) {
               setFont(table.getFont());
               if(value instanceof Double){
                    setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
                    DecimalFormat numberFormat = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance();
                    numberFormat.applyPattern("#######.#");
                    String val = numberFormat.format(value);
                    setText(val);
               if(isSelected){
                    setBackground(Color.RED);
                    System.out.println("is selected");
               else{
                    setBackground(Color.BLACK);
                    System.out.println("is not selected");
               return this;
    }I have set opacity to true for the contentPane, but without any result.
Any advice will be very apreciated.

Problem solved.
My Renderer should have extended the abstract class DefaultTableCellRenderer.
class MCTableCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {

How to set the column width in the PDF exports of interactive reports ?

Hello,
I have a huge problem with the PDF export for the Interactive reports. I'm using APEX 3.2.
I have to produce a PDF report in landscape format that show 21 columns. My problem is that the columns have a ridiculous short width and that the text inside the columns do not wrap in the columns. So I get things like that :
Date Name
2011 Leina
I should see 2011-08-01 and the name Leinad Jan
I tried several things to format the columns, but none of the them has any effect on the PDF itself.
1) I used HTML code in the report query. It works well with the interactive report, but display the HTML tags in the PDF.
2) I used css to set the width of my columns. It works in the interactive report, but not in the PDF, the column width do not change.
It's like the report do not notice that my page format is Legal 14 x 8.5 (Landscape) and still believe it's 8.5 x 11 (which is "portrait")
Do you have any idea so set the columkn widths in the reports ?
Thank you !

Problem in Adding two buttons under same column header (in JTable)

Hi,
I have a JTable and to a particular column i want to add two buttons.
Here the two buttons should be under the same column header and i need to add listners to these.
Any idea how to do this?
Thanks & regards
Neel

Of course as your header is drawn by a renderer, the buttons don't actually work, but you can listen for mouse clicks within the area of the header and see which button the mouse position was over.
See the Java Table Sorter Demo code for how to add a mouse listener to the header...
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-1dot4/index.html#TableSorterDemo
....and from there you should be able to determine where in the component the click occured by using the getX() and getY() methods of the MouseEvent to determine which button in the renderer component was clicked. Use something like Rectangle.contains() to match the click location against the buttons.

Is it possible to disable the mouse automatically scrolling the video playback head?

Previous versions of iMovie allowed me to move the mouse without moving the playback head. Doesn't appear possible in '11. Can it be toggled?
Thanks.
Lindy

No. If I run the mouse over a video in iMovie, the video automatically scrolls along with the mouse. The audio skimming function (if on) allows me to hear the audio along with the video as it scrolls - a useful feature, but not what I'm trying to fix.
What I'd like to be able to do is turn all of that off so that the only way to play a video is to start it with the space bar.
As it is now, if I select a spot where I'd like to place a marker or split a video, I have to move the mouse in order to initiate the command that I want. But the moment I move the mouse to go to a menu, the video moves to a different place, making the edit more difficult.
iMovieHD ('08) did not have the scrolling function, and while I appreciate the usefulness of having it, I'm struggling with being unable to turn it off. I could play a video to the point where I wanted to edit it, fine tune the playback head location and perform the edit without so much as touching the mouse.
It's not that I'm incapable of doing what I need to do with iMovie the way it is. It just seems a bit tougher to accomplish these things with the scrolling when I don't want it to. Seems like it should be a Preferences setting or something. But I can't find it.
Thanks.
