Cant see jtable column headers

I have my jtable in a container and i am displaying that container in a jframe. I cant see the table column headers. I cant use a jscrollpane and need to make the table headers visible. I can see the table fine with all its information in it. When I do a System.out.println(TableModel.getColumnName(int)); i get the correct column header name so I know that the column headers are existing. I would appreciate any help that you can give

the last answer did not help me out. I reposted this with more information, such as i am placing my table in a container and not in a scrollpane. I added the code below and it still did not work
content.add(jt.getTableHeader(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
content.add(jt, BorderLayout.CENTER);
I can still only see the table. I pasted code below where I create my table and repaint it. I have it set up where my table is in a JPanel. I have is set up so that I can move it around and resize it with the mouse. This all works and I can see the table but there are no headers.
public FigTable(DefaultTableModel inTableModel, LEditor inLEditor)
          super(50, 50, 350, 200);
          setLineColor(Color.blue);
          setFillColor(ColorMenu.kColorOfNoFill);
          fEditor = inLEditor;
          content = fEditor.getGEFPanel().getDrawingPanel();
          importTable(inTableModel);
          fEditor.init();
          fEditor.inval();
public void importTable(DefaultTableModel inTableModel)
          jt = new JTable(inTableModel);
          tRows = jt.getRowCount();
          tColumns = jt.getColumnCount();
          content.add(jt, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          content.add(jt.getTableHeader(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
public void paint(Graphics g)
          jt.setBounds(_x, y, w, _h);
          if (_h >= tRows && tRows != 0)
          jt.setRowHeight(_h / tRows);
          if (isSelected())
               drawHandles(g);
          if (_filled && (getFillColor() != null))
               jt.setBackground(getFillColor());
          if (getLineColor() != null)
               jt.setGridColor(getLineColor());
               jt.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(getLineColor()));

JTable column headers missing..kindly help...

Hello there!
I have written a program that ultimately deals with database connectivity, but my problem is got more to do with JTable. that's why i decided to post my doubt here.
my program displays a JTable by reading fields form a database.
But you see, the column headers are missing!!
I have used the concept of DefaultTableModel, i first searched google and came upon a website: www.exampledepot.com and studied the sample codes on how insert fields into a JTable using the above....
i swear to god i have done the exact same things..
Could you please help me out??
Thankyou very much and have a great day!
:-)

done that alreadyThen your problem is solved?
Or does that mean that you had already done it and no headings showed up? In that case there's something wrong with your code.
And Swing questions should be posted in the Swing forum.

Export JTable Column headers to Excel document

Hello all!!! I am having a small problem while trying to export some data from a jTable to an excel document.
I have a jTable and I use a custom TableModel with this:
private String[] columnNames = {"First", "Second", "Third", "Forth"};as names for each column of the table.
The thing I am trying to do is to export exactly the same "headers" from the columns of the jTable to the excel spreadsheet using Jakarta POI. Unfortunately I don't know how to do it and I haven't found anything yet on this forum. Can anyone help me with this?
In simple words I want to know how I can have the same headers from my jTable columns, with the headers from the excel doument I will create.
Many thanks in advanve!!!
Kostas

Thank you for your reply first of all. The problem is how to get the heading text and how to put it to the excel's first row OR to excels "headings" (if it is possible...). [in other words replace A,B,C,D from the excel document with the headers I get from the jTable...] .
I hope now you can see what I am looking for... If there is no solution to this please tell me what are the alternatives. (B) could be a good example.
Thanks you very much!!

JTable column headers not displaying using custom table model

Hi,
I'm attempting to use a custom table model (by extending AbstractTableModel) to display the contents of a data set in a JTable. The table is displaying the data itself correctly but there are no column headers appearing. I have overridden getColumnName of the table model to return the correct header and have tried playing with the ColumnModel for the table but have not been able to get the headers to display (at all).
Any ideas?
Cheers

JTable column headers missing

I created a JTable using:
JTable table = new JTable(v,cN);
where v is my vector that holds the data and cN is a vector to hold the column names as below:
Vector cN = new Vector();
     cN.add("Registry Keys");
     cN.add("Program Name");
     cN.add("Key Type");
     cN.add("Drive");
     cN.add("Location");
     cN.add("Leave");It displays the table fine with the data and as I add or remove entries in the cN vector it adds and removes columns - but doesn't display column headers? Any help appreciated.

Are you using a scrollpane? If not, you have to get the Table Header component and place it appropriately.

JTable Column Headers are Squashed!

Hi there,
I'm using JBuilder, and have created a simple enough JTable that I place inside a JScrollPane. I am using my own implementation of the AbstractTable model.
When I run the code, the Column headers are only about 5 pixels high! I have hunted around the JBuilder code (which if you have used JBuilder you will know is extensive!), but it doesn't seem to be doing anything extraordinary.
So has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you do to rectify.
Yours hopefully
Richard

Hello there, my abstract implementation looks a little like this:
public static final String columns[] = { "", "Request Id", "Date", "Component Name", "Version", "Type" };
public String getColumnName(int columnIndex) {
    return columns[columnIndex];
public Class getColumnClass(int columnIndex) {
    if (columnIndex == 0) {
      return Boolean.class;
    } else if (columnIndex == 1) {
      return Integer.class;
    } else {
      return String.class;
}Thanks
Richard

JTable Column Headers

I want to create a JTable so that the table doesn't have any column headers. Right now I am using my own implementation of the AbstractTableModel Class for use with the tables, but if I leave out the public String getColumnName(int col) method, it makes the headers A, B, C, ... and if I set the column headers up with a blank String, it leaves an obvious thin empty header at the top. Any suggestions on how I can completely leave the column headers off?

call the method on JTable
table.setTableHeader(null);
that will do the trick;
cheers

JTable column headers not showing up

I have a JTable inside a JScrollPane which, in turn, is inside a JTabbedPane.
I created a TableModel which extends AbstractTableModel as per the java Swing Tutorial examples.
In that model is an Object[][] object for the data called rowData, and all the data displays in the table perfectly.
I also have a String[] object called columnNames to define the column headers. ..the column names are coded directly into the object.
i.e.: String[] columnNames = {"John", "Janet", "Jamie", "Jennifer"};But the column names don't display at all.....all I get in the column headers is 'A', 'B', 'C', etc.
I need to know either
1)how to set this up correctly in the first place or
2)how I can reset the columns manually.
I have tried adding the table 2 ways..as follows...but neither one gets the headers right:
JScrollPane jScrollPane = new javax.swing.JScrollPane(getTable());or
JScrollPane jScrollPane.setViewportView(getTable());Note: getTable()..is where the new javax.swing.JTabel(new TableModel())stuff is done.
thx, ESW

You mentioned the you columnNames array. I suggest you declare it as static and accessible from within your custom table modelprivate static final String[] COLUMN_NAMES = {"John", "Janet", "Jamie", "Jennifer"};Then you override/implement the following methods in your TableModel :public String getColumnName(int column) {
return COLUMN_NAMES[column];
public int getColumnCount() {
return COLUMN_NAMES.length;
}That should do the trick.

Fixed jtable column headers

Does anyone have an example of fixing column headers for a JTable. Basically I want the column headers to be displayed when scrolling down the table.

check the examples provided in "How to use table" -
"http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html"
The tables have fixed column header when u scroll down..

Almost invisible JTable column headers

I'm writing an applet which contains a JTable within a JScrollPane. For a while the column headings (text) were visible, but recently the column headings have become very small in height. There is barely enough there so that the mouse can be used to sort, or resize or reorder the columns, but the text can not be seen. It doesn't seem to be related to the number of rows in the table. The getColumnName() method is being called and returning the correct strings, but they don't show up on the screen. As I said, this was working ok until recently, and I don't know what I changed that might have caused it.
Any ideas? Thanks ... John Lawrence

I am trying to have a JTable with variable height header. I give the headers a renderer that parses the text into a vector (breaking it into lines), and then returns a JList populated with the vector.
ex: if the text is "Line1\nLine2", the header will have double height, with two lines:
Line1
Line2
The problem is the same that you encountered: Swing only looks at the header of the 1st column to determine the height of all! So if there are headers with more lines than the 1st one, they get chopped!
Does anybody know a workaround?

Autofit JTable column headers

I have a problem. I am using eclipse. What i want to do is that in a Jtable, i want such a mechanism that no matter what the table headers are(any font, size), the jtable adjusts the column width to show the whole table header. The headers and the fonts are read from a file.
presently i m doing this:
//used to set the column widths
FontMetrics metrics = tbl.getFontMetrics(tbl.getFont());
// Set column widths
int tempWidth;
for (int i=0; i<columnNames.length ; i++)
tempWidth = metrics.stringWidth(tbl.getColumnName(i))+ (2 * tbl.getColumnModel().getColumnMargin());
tcm.getColumn(i).setPreferredWidth(tempWidth);
tcm.getColumn(i).setPreferredWidth(columnNames.length()*7);
The problem is that this does not work for all fonts.
Can ne 1 plz provide sample code???

Here's the full code I posted before to do this.
It resizes the entire JTable to fit the column size, no matter what font properties, and
optionally includes using the column header as well.

Saving JTable column headers

I an writing a program in which I am trying to save a table. I can save all of the data from in the table by sending the TableModel to a file, but I cannot get the headers to save. I have tried saving the JTableHeader and am currently trying it by saving the TableColumnModel.

         // more
    }   My problem I cant solve is:
with spieleTable I can see rows and cols but not with teilnehmerTable
a console output shows that values received ploperly the table.
It seems that I am doing something like painting white on white ( ?? ).
But I eve do not see lines .
What I can see are tableheaders.
ANy hint, where I could look for.
TIA Hanns

Eh, is your teilnehmerSomething method erroneously
manipulating the spieleTableModel instead of the
teilnehmerTableModel?What a shame, I did not see this <g>
thanks and enjoy YOur DD

JTable column header

Hello,
I have the following code:
          JPanel p = new JPanel (new BorderLayout());
          String[] c = {"Other Node", "Direction", "Annotation"};
          Object[][] d = {{"a", "b", "c"}};
          JTable t = new JTable(d, c);
          p.add(t);The problem is that I dont see the column headers (eg "Other node" etc), but I do see the column data, in this case: "a", "b", "c".
Why I cant see they column headers?
Thank you,

See this...
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#simple
It says if you are not using a scroll pane, you should get the table header using the getTableHeader() and add yourself to the container.
Hope it helps
thanks

JTable auto size columns/headers

How do I autoresize a JTable column/headers so that each column/header is the minium size necessary.
I've tried setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COLUMNS); and that doesn't
seem to work.
Thanks

You need to calculate the width of the text and set the preferred size of each column.
If seen solutions posted in the forum (but no I don't know the exact posting) so you can search the forum to find them.
