Horizontal scrolling in a JTable with fixed-size columns

Hello,
I have come to a roadblock concerning the following issue. Perhaps someone can share their ideas...
I have a JTable with three fixed-size columns. I implemented a JScrollPane with vertical and horizontal scrolling. However, the text inserted into the last column is too long to fit in the specified column width. I would like to be able to scroll the table so that I can view all of the text in the last column. Right now, the text cuts off and ends with three dots (...). Is there a way in which a horizontal scroll bar can be implemented to view all the text in the last column?
Here is a portion of my code:
num_of_rows_Table2 = (int) Math.pow(3, num_of_vars);
String[] colunmNames_Table2 = {"Decimal Identifier", "Ternary Identifier", "Cancellation of nonimplicants"};
dataModel2 = new DefaultTableModel(colunmNames_Table2, num_of_rows_Table2);
SpaceOfTermsTable = new JTable(dataModel2);
for (int z = 0; z < num_of_rows_Table2; z++)
SpaceOfTermsTable.setRowHeight(z, row_height);
SpaceOfTermsTable.setBounds(new Rectangle(x1_Table2, y1_Table2, width_of_pane2, height_pane2));
SpaceOfTermsTable.getTableHeader().setReorderingAllowed(false);
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
TableColumn col = SpaceOfTermsTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
col.setMinWidth(colwidth_Table2);
col.setMaxWidth(colwidth_Table2);
col.setPreferredWidth(colwidth_Table2);
TableColumn lastcol = SpaceOfTermsTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(2); lastcol.setMinWidth(lastcol_Table2);
lastcol.setMaxWidth(lastcol_Table2);
lastcol.setPreferredWidth(lastcol_Table2);
SpaceOfTermsTable.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
scrollPanel2 = new JScrollPane(SpaceOfTermsTable, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
scrollPanel2.setAutoscrolls(true);
scrollPanel2.setBounds(new Rectangle(x1_Table2, y1_Table2, width_of_pane2, height_pane2));
Thanks in advance for all of the help!

Horizontal scrolling doesn't work with ItemsStackPanel in ListView(GridView)

Hi,
In Win 8.1 App Store Project I have a ListView with fixed width and listen for ContainerContentChanging event because of performance issues.
When ListView width is less than content width, horizontal scrolling doesn't work. If we change ItemsStackPanel to VirtualizingStackPanel, horizontal scrolling works fine. But ContainerContentChanging doesn't work with VirtualizingStackPanel.
Is it possible to make horizontal scrolling work with ItemsStackPanel?

Help with FIXED LENGTH columns - using spool command

Hi guys,
I have a view I am trying to spool using fixed length columns, and the spacing is off. Ive tried numerous things such as specifiying the column width before running the query, using the rpad command, but nothing seems to work. I have to spool it to a text file in order for the users to import this file into another system. I would welcome any and all suggestions. Thanks so much. The following is the view:
SELECT "EMPLOYEE_ID","FIRST NAME","INITIAL","LAST NAME","SUFFIX","TRAINING DATE","Course ID","Class ID", "We", "Make / Model", "Cali", "Barrell", "Serial Number", "Qualification", "Application", "SCORE", "Status", "Add Time", "Record Add ID","Record Add Date","Record Change ID","Record Change Date","RN" FROM
(SELECT
UPPER(RPAD(tbl.ssn,10)) AS "EMPLOYEE_ID",
UPPER(RPAD('',12)) AS "FIRST NAME",
UPPER(RPAD('',1)) AS "INITIAL",
UPPER(RPAD('',20)) AS "LAST NAME",
UPPER(RPAD('',5)) AS "SUFFIX",
UPPER(RPAD(to_char(QUALDATE, 'mmddyyyy'),8)) AS "TRAINING DATE",

FROM FIREARMS_scores, TBL
where scores.id_number=tbl.id_number
and qualyear='2010' and coursecode='SA'
order by employee_id)
where rn =1

Hi,
You RPAD doesn't do anything, since they are same as:
SQL> SELECT NULL AS "Record Add ID",
2         NULL AS "Record Add Date",
3         NULL AS "Record Change ID",
4         NULL AS "Record Change Date" FROM DUAL;
R R R R
SQL>Can't see why COLUMN command shouldn't do what you want. Maybe you forgot the double quotes?
SQL> COL "Record Add ID" FOR a18
SQL> COL "Record Add Date" FOR a18
SQL>
SQL> SELECT NULL AS "Record Add ID",
2         NULL AS "Record Add Date",
3         NULL AS "Record Change ID",
4         NULL AS "Record Change Date" FROM DUAL;
Record Add ID      Record Add Date    R R
SQL>P.S: You probably shouldn't set a column width which is smaller than the header length

Ordering JTables with fixed column

I have 2 JTable. The first one is not scrollable and the second one yes. I want to order both tables? How can I do??

You haven't given any information which leads me to believe this is anything other than sorting a table. See [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#sorting]here.

Need help on implementation of a circular queue with fixed size

The constructor of the queue is as below:
RingBufferNode[] element;
RingBufferNode firstFree;
RingBufferNode firstFilled;
public RingBufferQueue (int n) {
          element = new RingBufferNode[n];
          for(int i=0; i<element.length-1; i++){
               element.next = element[i+1];
          element[element.length-2].next = element[element.length-1];
          element[element.length-1].next = element[0];
          firstFree = element[0];
          firstFilled = firstFree;
     }class RingBufferNode {
     public Object value;
     public RingBufferNode next;
     public RingBufferNode (RingBufferNode n)
          { next = n; }
}Each node in the queue are expected to have a pointer "next" pointing to the next node in the queue, where the last one will be pointing to the first. When I called the constructor to create a new RingBufferQueue, the following error occurs:Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerExceptionI've tried to throw the exception however it seemed to be a useless move.

Sorry don't quite get what you want me to post, I'm a starter. It's not using a stack, but a queue instead. And the place where the compiler flagged the error is this line:
element.next = element[i+1];

Display a horizontal scrollbar in a JTable as to fit column width

hi all,
I am using JTable to display records.I've set a horizontal scrollbar by using 'table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);',but although i got a horizontal scrol bar the column width is constant for all the columns and not getting adjusted according to the lenght of the column names. As the column names and the records are of different size in the database i want the column widht to be adjusted according to the length of column names and record length.so please tell me how to do it?
regards...

Detecting clicked column in JTable (with JCheckBox in column)

I am struggling with something that seems like it should be so simple, but it doesn't work as I expect;
I have a table with 5 columns, the 5th column is a CheckBox. What I need to do is detect when the 5th column changes, ie. the check box is clicked;
If I use a MouseListener on the table, and derive the table from the event, the column that I get back from getSelectedColumn() is -1, which is not conclusive. I assume this is because clicking the check box is not actually selecting the column.
I implemented a TableModelListener as follow;
tableModel.addTableModelListener(new TableModelListener()
public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e)
System.out.println("Changed Column is " + e.getColumn() + " " + e.getFirstRow());
This seems to do the same as before, and gives a first row of 0 and selected column of -1. Once again inconclusive.
The cell as I say is rendered as a JCheckBox, the data in the table model obviously being Boolean.
Can anyone suggest how I can determine if my column with a Check Box in has been clicked, and if so, which Row? (I have thought about overriding JCheckBox, but this seems more work than necessary)
Thanks in anticipation

You need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]
that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on
the information provided.

Horizontal scrolling with a table that is 100% width of window/container

Hello,
I'm a bit perplexed - it seems to me that the only way that I can have both fixed and scrollable columns in a table, with a table that resizes to the width of the user's screen, is to have percentage widths for all the entries.
Warning imminent rant
This seems to me to almost defeat the purpose. I want to be able to show more columns if the user has a large screen, and less if they have a small screen, keep certain key fields always showing and have the space avaliable for each column fixed to the size of the column contents. Having percentages of the screen for all columns just means that the column will get wider and thinner, not more or less!
Is there any hope that this might come along with client side scrolling in NetWeaver EhP2? Or does anyone have a cunning solution to the problem?
Now, I can sort of understand why this functionality has been build like this (the ABAP not having any real idea of how wide the screen actually is) - but why deliever such a solution at all? I can almost understand a fixed width situation, although all that code for a minimal improvement over just specifying the number of scrollable columns is suprising - but I struggle to see the use case for setting all the columns in a table to display as percentage widths.
Rant over -
If anyone does have any ideas how to have a 100% width table with fixed width columns - please do let me know.
Cheers,
Chris

Can this work:
Emebed your table UI element in Transparent Container UI element ( give it a fixed width ), now make table width as 100 % and make each column width as Width of Transparent Container / No of Columns.
Although I'm suggesting this but in my opinion giving fixed width to any UI element height width property is not advisable and recommended. It is because when browser will be resized by the user then if there is a fixed width settings then scrollbars would appear and layout may also go haywire.
If on the other hand if we are giving % (relative of window ) in width height of UI elements then layout will be adjusted automatically.

Don't want horizontal scroll therefore want to reduce size of the report

hi
pls help me.I don't want horizontal scroll in my report.Some of the columns are going out of the window.
therefore I want to reduce the size of the report.cant found any thing to do this.
BHARAT THOSAR

I had the same problem and found help here in the forum. I think it was Vikas who gave me the following tip:
In the CSS Style of your column attributes type something like this:
display:block;width:100px;overflow:hidden;
in order to determine the width of your column. You got to play arround with this a bit to get
the result you expect.

Creating a JTable with resizeable columns and Horizontal Scrollbar

Hi,
I would like to create a JTable with about 24 columns in it. The problem is, my ViewPort in my JScrollPane is about 3-400pixels wide, and the JTable tries to cram itself into the ViewPort. This makes the columns too tiny to read. I'd like it to do something a little more sensible, like use the PreferredSize of the columns. Can anyone point me in the right direction to keep JTable from creating scrunched up little columns, so that it creates columns that are at least partially readable? Thanks.
BTW, I suppose I could set NO_AUTO_RESIZE but I would rather not do that. I like being able to resize columns. Basically what I want to do is control the JTable's width and not worry about the ViewPort's width.

This made it impossible to resize columns. Works fine for me:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class TableHorizontal extends JFrame
    public TableHorizontal()
        JTable table = new JTable(5, 10);
        table.setAutoResizeMode( JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF );
        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
        getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
        table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setPreferredWidth(10);
        table.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).setPreferredWidth(20);
        table.getColumnModel().getColumn(2).setPreferredWidth(30);
        table.getColumnModel().getColumn(3).setPreferredWidth(40);
        table.getColumnModel().getColumn(4).setPreferredWidth(50);
    public static void main(String[] args)
        TableHorizontal frame = new TableHorizontal();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
}

Unnecessary horizontal scroll bar in API

PROBLEM .................
Someone recently asked:
When viewing the Java SE v1.4.1 docs
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/index.html
in frames in Internet Explorer v6.0, the right frame always has a horizontal scroll
bar regardless of how I size the window. This results in the right or
left edge of the docs to be clipped in the browser. I had the same
problem with the v1.4.0 docs leading me to believe it is an issue in the
HTML generation in the javadoc tool. I'm no fan of Microsoft, but your
HTML docs should be viewable in the most popular browser on Windows
IMHO.
SOLUTION.................
This is due to a bug in IE, for which there is a workaround that
you can easily implement by making a small change to a single file.
The horizontal scroll bar will go away if you change api/index.html
from this:
<FRAME src="overview-summary.html" name="classFrame"
title="Package, class and interface descriptions">
to this:
<FRAME src="overview-summary.html" name="classFrame" scrolling="yes"
title="Package, class and interface descriptions">
However, this fix did not make it into 1.4.2.
This is the bug report:

Ohh... thanks. I was wondering about that.

Can we create JTable with multiple rows with varying number of columns ?

Hi All,
I came across a very typical problem related to JTable. My requirement is that cells should be added dynamically to the JTable. I create a JTable with initial size of 1,7 (row, columns) size. Once the 7 columns are filled with data, a new row should be created. But the requirement is, the new row i.e. second row should have only one cell in it initially. The number of cells should increase dynamically as the data is entered. The table is automatically taking the size of its previous row when new row is added. I tried by using setColumnCount() to change the number of columns to '1' for the second row but the same is getting applied to the first row also.
So can you please help me out in this regard ? Is it possible to create a JTable of uneven size i.e. multiple rows with varying number of columns in each row ?
Thanks in Advance.

Well a JTable is always going to paint the same number of columns for each row. Anything is possible if you want to rewrite the JTable UI to do this, but I wouldn't recommend it. (I certainly don't know how to do it).
A simpler solution might be to override the isCellEditable(...) method of JTable and prevent editing of column 2 until data in column 1 has been entered etc., etc. You may also want to provide a custom renderer that renderers the empty column differently, maybe with a grey color instead of a white color.

Horizontal Scrolling in JTextArea???

Hi,
I have disabled horizontal scrolling in a textarea with this command,
scrollpane1 = new JScrollPane(ta,ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS,ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
where ta is my textarea.
But whenever i continue typing the text continues in the same line even if the end of the textarea is reached and does not automatically go to the second line. How do i make it continue to the next line as soon as the width of the textarea is reached. Please help.

This is called wrapping. Check out the JTextArea API:
setLineWrap(boolean wrap)
setWrapStyleWord(boolean word)
