Question

hi i created one panel in my project using netbeans.now i want to display the color in my table i tried but i am getting color code insted of
color ...
here is my code
package pckRender;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
* @author admin
public class pnlRender extends javax.swing.JPanel {
Object[][] data = {{"Shashi", "24", Color.red}};
String [] columnnames= {"Name", "Age", "Color"};
/** Creates n
* ew form pnlRender */
public pnlRender() {
super(new GridLayout(1,0));
initComponents();
javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel model = new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(data, columnnames);
javax.swing.JTable table = new JTable(model);
table.setFillsViewportHeight(true);
table.setOpaque(true);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
scrollPane.setOpaque(true);
scrollPane.setViewportView(table);
table.setDefaultRenderer(Color.class,
new ColorRenderer(true));
add(scrollPane);
/** This method is called from within the constructor to
* initialize the form.
* WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is
* always regenerated by the Form Editor.
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code">
private void initComponents() {
setLayout(new java.awt.GridLayout());
}// </editor-fold>
private static void createAndShowGUI() {
//Create and set up the window.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("TableDialogEditDemo");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//Create and set up the content pane.
JComponent newContentPane = new pnlRender();
newContentPane.setOpaque(true); //content panes must be opaque
frame.setContentPane(newContentPane);
//Display the window.
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
//creating and showing this application's GUI.
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGUI();
// Variables declaration - do not modify
// End of variables declaration
And To display the Color in tabel i created one class here is that Code
package com.aerron.coconut;
* ColorRenderer.java (compiles with releases 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4) is used by
* TableDialogEditDemo.java.
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.border.Border;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
public class ColorRenderer extends JLabel
implements TableCellRenderer {
Border unselectedBorder = null;
Border selectedBorder = null;
boolean isBordered = true;
public ColorRenderer(boolean isBordered) {
this.isBordered = isBordered;
setOpaque(true); //MUST do this for background to show up.
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
JTable table, Object color,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
int row, int column) {
Color newColor = (Color)color;
setBackground(newColor);
if (isBordered) {
if (isSelected) {
if (selectedBorder == null) {
selectedBorder = BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,5,2,5,
table.getSelectionBackground());
setBorder(selectedBorder);
} else {
if (unselectedBorder == null) {
unselectedBorder = BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,5,2,5,
table.getBackground());
setBorder(unselectedBorder);
// setToolTipText("RGB value: " + newColor.getRed() + ", "
// + newColor.getGreen() + ", "
// + newColor.getBlue());
return this;
so how to display the Color.
