I this small vertical color bar comes in very first cell.
How should i make this working.
I will be highly gracefull to you........

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class TableTest {
  public TableTest() {
    String[] columnNames = {"FileName", "Integer"};

    DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames) {
      @Override public Class<?> getColumnClass(int column) {
        return getValueAt(0, column).getClass();

  • I failed to  color  JTable cells

    Hello,
    I'm trying to set the background color of JTable cells based on their content.
    For example if I edit a cell and put a R, I'd like to paint the background in Red.
    If I enter B, I want it becomes Blue, and so on.
    I tried to use a few examples found in various fora, but all failed.
    in addition, I do not understand why I should extend JLabel and not another Class ?
    Thanks for help.
    Here is a sample code (in which all cells should become red whatever is typed in).
    import javax.swing.table.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class TableRenderer extends JLabel implements javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer {
    public java.awt.Component getTableCellRendererComponent
        javax.swing.JTable table,
       Object value,
       boolean isSelected,
       boolean hasFocus,
       int row,
       int column
         setBackground(java.awt.Color.red);   // for the moment All cells will be red
         return this;
       mytable  = new javax.swing.JTable(5,5);
       TableColumn[] column = new TableColumn[5];
       TableColumnModel colModel = mytable.getColumnModel();
       for (int i=0; i <5 ;i++)
                    column[i] = colModel.getColumn( i );
                    column.setCellRenderer(new TableRenderer());

    Finally after many tries I found a good way to do what I wanted.
    If some people are interested, here is the code.
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.table.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    class MyClass
    public class TableRenderer extends javax.swing.table.DefaultTableCellRenderer
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,Object value,boolean isSelected,boolean hasFocus,int row,int column)
         Component xx = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table,value,isSelected,hasFocus,row,column);
            String val = (String) table.getValueAt(row, column);
            if (gegeutil.Gegetools.isEmpty(val)) super.setBackground(Color.white);
            else if(val.equals("Tournament")) super.setBackground(Color.red);
              else if(val.equals("Class"))super.setBackground(Color.orange);
              else if(val == "")           super.setBackground(Color.white);
            else super.setBackground(Color.blue);          
                   return xx;
    public TableRenderer() {
         super();
    JTable table = new JTable(nbrow, nbcolumn);
    table.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new TableRenderer());
    }

  • JTable cell color overriding Boolean values displayed as checkboxes. Fix?

    I have a JTable column of Boolean values that automatically appear as checkboxes. When I apply my DefaultTableCellRenderer to this column, the checkbox disappears and a "false" or "true" appears instead. But if I mouseclick on the cell, the checkbox will appear momentarily.
    Any suggestions for getting the Boolean value displayed as a checkbox and seeing my colors change? (I suppose the easy way is using JCheckBox, but I'm curious if I can do it using Boolean)
    Thanks for the help. Code follows for the cell renderer.
    class ColorRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer{
    public ColorRenderer() {
    super();
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
    if (isSelected == true) {
      setBackground(Color.getHSBColor(100, 100, 1));
      setForeground(Color.BLACK);
    } else {
      setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
      setForeground(Color.WHITE);
    if (hasFocus == true) {
      setBackground(Color.RED);
      setForeground(Color.WHITE);
    setOpaque(true);
    setValue(value);
    return this;

    Wouldn't extend DefaultTableCellRenderer as that extends a JLabel
    I would extend a JCheckBox and implement TableCellRenderer.

  • Dynamic colored in theh JTable cell

    Hi, All
    I am using a JTable to display a Jlable in the JTable cells.
    The lable is divided to, say 10 , sub rectangles. I would liketo fill each rectangles with different bg colors depending on the data I received. I tried to use html in the JLable to control the color, however, it is very expensive cuase it involves a lot of string process and also it is difficult to control the dimension of those rectangles. Do anyone has any better idea to do this ?
    The cell is not necessary to be a JLable, by the way.
    Thanks in advance !

    I have never used JPanel as my table cell component, but u might want to implement performance improvements similiar to ones done in DefaultTableCellRenderer which extends JLabel.
    Here is the code extract from DefaultTableCellRenderer
    * The following methods are overridden as a performance measure to
    * to prune code-paths are often called in the case of renders
    * but which we know are unnecessary. Great care should be taken
    * when writing your own renderer to weigh the benefits and
    * drawbacks of overriding methods like these.
    * Overridden for performance reasons.
    * See the Implementation Note
    * for more information.
    public void validate() {}
    * Overridden for performance reasons.
    * See the Implementation Note
    * for more information.
    public void revalidate() {}
    * Overridden for performance reasons.
    * See the Implementation Note
    * for more information.
    public void repaint(long tm, int x, int y, int width, int height) {}
    * Overridden for performance reasons.
    * See the Implementation Note
    * for more information.
    public void repaint(Rectangle r) { }

  • Shading part of a JTable Cell dependent upon the value of the cell

    Hi
    Was hoping some one woudl be able to provide some help with this. I'm trying to create a renderer that will "shade" part of a JTable cell's background depending upon the value in the cell as a percentage (E.g. if the cell contains 0.25 then a quarter of the cell background will be shaded)
    What I've got so far is a renderer which will draw a rectangle whose width is the relevant percentage of the cell's width. (i.e. the width of the column) based on something similar I found in the forum but the part I'm struggling with is getting it to draw this rectangle in any cell other than the first cell. I've tried using .getCellRect(...) to get the x and y position of the cell to draw the rectangle but I still can't make it work.
    The code for my renderer as it stands is:
    import java.awt.Component;
    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import java.awt.Graphics2D;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    import javax.swing.JTable;
    import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
    public class PercentageRepresentationRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer{
         double percentageValue;
         double rectWidth;
         double rectHeight;
         JTable table;
         int row;
         int column;
         int x;
         int y;
         public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
              if (value instanceof Number)
                   this.table = table;
                   this.row = row;
                   this.column = column;
                   Number numValue = (Number)value;
                   percentageValue = numValue.doubleValue();
                   rectHeight = table.getRowHeight(row);
                   rectWidth = percentageValue * table.getColumnModel().getColumn(column).getWidth();
              return this;
         public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
            x = table.getCellRect(row, column, false).x;
            y = table.getCellRect(row, column, false).y;
              setOpaque(false);
            Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
            g2d.fillRect(x,y, new Double(rectWidth).intValue(), new Double(rectHeight).intValue());
            super.paintComponent(g);
    }and the following code produces a runnable example:
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
    import javax.swing.JTable;
    import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
    public class PercentageTestTable extends JFrame {
         public PercentageTestTable()
              Object[] columnNames = new Object[]{"A","B"};
              Object[][] tableData = new Object[][]{{0.25,0.5},{0.75,1.0}};
              DefaultTableModel testModel = new DefaultTableModel(tableData,columnNames);
              JTable test = new JTable(testModel);
              test.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new PercentageRepresentationRenderer());
              JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane();
              scroll.getViewport().add(test);
              add(scroll);
         public static void main(String[] args)
              PercentageTestTable testTable = new PercentageTestTable();
              testTable.pack();
              testTable.setVisible(true);
              testTable.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }If anyone could help or point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks

    In summary, you have one or more columns for which the data must be wholly visible - correct? If you need all the columns to show the whole of their data, you are goinf to have to expand the table, otherwise you can expand a column with something like
    myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(whichever).setPreferredWidth(whatever);

  • How to use Jtable cell Editor

    HI,
    Here trying to populate the ImageIcon using JLabel in Jtable cell. For that I used DefaultCellRenderer. For implement the mouseListener to label I used the DefaultCellEditor. I am facing one problem here. After editing the label I selected the second row of the table, the first row image is not displaying. Can any one help on this issue?
    public class LabelCellEditor extends DefaultCellEditor {
    public LabelCellEditor(final JCheckBox checkBox) {
    super(checkBox);
    public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(final JTable table, final Object value,
    final boolean isSelected, final int row, final int column) {
    Color background = null;
    background = ColorManager.SELECTED_ROW_BGCOLOR;
    labelVal = (JLabel) value;
    labelVal.setOpaque(true);
    labelVal.setFont(FontManager.TABLE_DATA_FONT);
    labelVal.setBackground(background);
    labelPanel = new JPanel();
    labelPanel.setOpaque(true);
    labelPanel.setBackground(background);
    labelPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
    labelPanel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 0, 0, 0));
    labelPanel.add(labelVal);
    return this.labelPanel;
    public Object getCellEditorValue() {
    return this.labelPanel;
    public class LabelCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
    public LabelCellRenderer(final int alignment) {
    //setHorizontalAlignment(alignment);
    this.align = alignment;
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(final JTable table, final Object value,
    final boolean isSelected, final boolean hasFocus, final int row, final int column) {
    if (value != null) {
    if (value instanceof JLabel) {
    labelVal = (JLabel) value;
    labelVal.setOpaque(true);
    labelVal.setFont(FontManager.TABLE_DATA_FONT);
    labelVal.setBackground(background);
    labelVal.setHorizontalAlignment(this.align);
    labelVal.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(0, LRPADD, 0, LRPADD));
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setOpaque(true);
    panel.setBackground(background);
    panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));

    panel.add(labelVal);
    return panel;
    return this;
    }

    With more than 30 postings you should know by now how to use the "Code" tags when posting code so the code reatains its original formatting and is therefore more readable.
    There is no need to create a custom editor, here is a simple example.

  • Setting JTable cell editor

    Hallo,
    I have troubles setting jtable cell edtior. when i run code below, editor stays unchnaged.
    Do you know where's the problem, please (except in programmer^_^) ???
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
    public class Test extends JFrame {
        JTable table;
        Test() {
            // Create table model
            table = new JTable();
            table.setModel(new DefaultTableModel(
                new Object[][] {
                    { Boolean.TRUE, Integer.valueOf(10) },
                    { "Hallo!", Boolean.FALSE },
                }, new String[] { "Col1", "Col2" }));
            // Setup frame a little
            setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            setBounds(new Rectangle(300,300,200,100));
            setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            add(table,BorderLayout.CENTER);
             * Two calls below have no effect:-(
             * What did i wrong?
            // set cell editor for all cells
            table.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(
                    new JComboBox(new String[] { "0", "1" }) ));
            // Use checkbox for booleans
            table.setDefaultEditor(Boolean.class, new DefaultCellEditor(
                    new JCheckBox() ));
            // Use combobox for strings
            table.setDefaultEditor(String.class, new DefaultCellEditor(
                    new JComboBox( new String[] { "Hallo!", "Bye!" } ) ));
        public static void main(String[] arg) {
            Test test = new Test();
            test.setVisible(true);
    }

    Hi again,
    yes it works when i set it for single column, but i'd like to use default editor, because column count is not fixed.
    According to documentation: "Sets a default cell editor to be used if no editor has been set in a TableColumn. If no editing is required in a table, or a particular column in a table, uses the isCellEditable method in the TableModel interface to ensure that this JTable will not start an editor in these columns. If editor is null, removes the default editor for this column class."
    So when i call
    column.setCellEditor(null); in TableColumnModelListener columnAdded event. But still it's not working. See sample below (i've changed it to cell renderer coz result is clear on single view, but problem stays same)
    More over problem seems to be with algoritm that decide which class to use. Object takes preference any time. W/o it npe arries.
    Regards
    Adam

  • Custom JTable cell editor problem

    I have a custom JTable cell editor which is a JPanel with 2 JtextFields, One for a name, the other for a data value. My problem lies in when the the cell is selected and then the user start typing. The JTextfield outline shows up, but there is no carat. I can only edit the cell when I click the mouse in it again. I have my isCellEditable method set to only allow editing on 2 mouse clicks, but I did try it with just returning true and had the same problem. Please help.
    Code:
    class cellValue {
    String name;
    String data;
    Color nameColor;
    Color dataColor;
    Font font;
    public cellValue(String n, String d, Color nC, Color dC, Font ff){
    name = n;
    data = d;
    nameColor = nC;
    dataColor = dC;
    font = ff;
    } //end class
    public class TextFieldCellEditor extends JPanel implements TableCellRenderer, TableCellEditor{
    private EventListenerList listenerList = new EventListenerList();
    private ChangeEvent event = new ChangeEvent(this);
    private cellValue s;
    private int e_row=0;
    private int e_col=0;
    private JTextField ta;
    private JTextField tb;
    public TextFieldCellEditor() {
    setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
    ta = new JTextField();
    tb = new JTextField();
    tb.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
    add(ta, new GridBagConstraints(0,0,1,1,0.6,0.0,java.awt.GridBagConstraints.WEST,java.awt.GridBagConstraints.BOTH,new Insets(0,1,0,0),0,0));
    add(new JLabel(" "),new GridBagConstraints(1,0,1,1,0.1,0.0,java.awt.GridBagConstraints.WEST,java.awt.GridBagConstraints.BOTH,new Insets(0,1,0,0),0,0));
    add(tb, new GridBagConstraints(2,0,1,1,0.3,0.0,java.awt.GridBagConstraints.EAST,java.awt.GridBagConstraints.BOTH,new Insets(0,1,0,0),0,0));
    } //end init
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,boolean isSelected,
    boolean hasFocus,int row, int column) {
    s = (cellValue)value;
    e_row = row;
    e_col = column;
    ta.setText(s.name);
    tb.setText(s.data);
    ta.setFont(s.font);
    tb.setFont(s.font);

    } return true;
    // return true;
    public boolean shouldSelectCell(EventObject anEvent) {
    return (true);
    public void cancelCellEditing() {
    public boolean stopCellEditing() {

    } catch (Exception e) {};
    listenerList.add(CellEditorListener.class, l);
    public void removeCellEditorListener(CellEditorListener l) {
    listenerList.remove(CellEditorListener.class, l);
    protected void fireEditingStopped(){
    Object[] listeners = listenerList.getListenerList();
    for (int i = listeners.length - 2; i >= 0; i -= 2)
    ((CellEditorListener)listeners[i+1]).editingStopped(event);
    protected void fireEditingCanceled() {
    Object[] listeners = listenerList.getListenerList();
    for (int i = listeners.length - 2; i >= 0; i -= 2)
    ((CellEditorListener)listeners[i+1]).editingCanceled(event);
    } //end class

    Thanks again for the repley.
    I tried removing the celleditorlistener and using the setSurrenderFocusOnKeystroke, but it did not work. The textfield is editable;
    I did change:
    public void addCellEditorListener(CellEditorListener l){
    try {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(
    new Runnable() {
    public void run() {ta.requestFocus();}
    } catch (Exception e) {};
    listenerList.add(CellEditorListener.class, l);
    }This allows the first textfield to request focus and this seems to work. But when I highlight a cell, then start typing, the first character I type puts me into the editor, but it is lost. Example:
    I type hello
    and get ello in the cell. Then when I press enter the input is excepted and the selection goes to the next cell, but I cannot move the Highlight cursor at all, seems locked. The only way I can continue to the next cell is to use the mouse.
    You said you had a cell editor working. Would you care to share as an example. This is killing me to get this to work properly.
    Thanks again

  • Cell Editor to limit characters in jtable cell

    Hello Java Gods,
    Can anyone help me or write for me a custom cell editor/renderer to limit the max number of characters in a jtable cell to be 10? By this, I mean, the user should not be able to type more than 10 characters in this particular cell.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have to hand in this code before this evening. So please please help me folks.
    Thanking you all in advance.
    Warm Regards,
    Java Newbie

    Try one of these CellEditors:
    class LimitedEditor extends DefaultCellEditor {
        public LimitedEditor() {
            super(new JTextField());
        public boolean stopCellEditing() {
            String value = ((JTextField) getComponent()).getText();
            if (!value.equals("")) {
                if (value.length() > 10) {
                    ((JComponent) getComponent()).setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.red));
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "String length cannot be bigger than 10");
                    return false;
            return super.stopCellEditing();
        public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(final JTable table, final Object value,
                final boolean isSelected, final int row, final int column) {
            JTextField tf = ((JTextField) getComponent());
            tf.setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.black));
            if (value == null) {
                tf.setText("");
            } else {
                tf.setText(value.toString());
            return tf;
    class LimitedEditor2 extends DefaultCellEditor {
        public LimitedEditor2() {
            super(new JTextField());
            JTextField tf = ((JTextField) getComponent());
            tf.setDocument(new PlainDocument() {
                public void insertString(int offs, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException {
                    int len = getLength();
                    if (len + str.length() > 10) {
                        Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
                    } else {
                        super.insertString(offs, str, a);
    }Usage example:
            TableColumn tc = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(1);
            tc.setCellEditor(new LimitedEditor2());]

  • JButton "sticking" in a JTable Cell

    So I've modified the renderer and what not and slapped a button into a JTable Cell. The assignment requires it to turn red/green altrenativly when pressed. It works perfectly aside from the fact that the buttons appear to not "bounce back" when they switch colors. (i.e. They appear depressed when red and pressed when green).
