How to select JLabel inside a JTable

hi all,
I have a Jtable which has own renderer so it can store components in it. I have added a Jlabel one of its cells but when I select that row the label stays upon the selected background color. here is a sample screenshot to decribe my problem clearly [http://www.imagecross.com/06/image-hosting-view-01.php?id=6570label.jpg]
is there any way to select the label inside selected background color.
- I have already tried to make the label not opaque but it didnt work -
thanks...

I have added bold parts of the code below. if you use other components you can make a type casting and do what you want.
thanks again..
class ComponentRenderer *extends JComponent* implements TableCellRenderer
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
          boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
    *     JLabel l = (JLabel)value;*
    *     if(isSelected) {*
    *          l.setForeground(Color.BLUE);*
    *          l.setOpaque(true);*
    *          l.setBackground(new Color(184, 207, 229));*
    *     else {*
    *          l.setForeground(Color.BLACK);*
    *          l.setOpaque(true);*
    *          l.setBackground(Color.WHITE);*
        return l;
    /*public ComponentRenderer() {

How to select a row in JTable

Hello,
I have a problem selecting a row in a JTable.
I use
mytable.getSelectionModel().setSelectionInterval(row, row);
to select a row, but after that this row is only highlighted. After calling this method I cannot change the selection using the arrow keys.
Can anybody give me a hint, how I can get the row selected, so that I can use the arrow keys immediately after selecting the row?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks,
Fritz

Hello,
I got the solution:
final int pRow = row;
final int pCol = column;
final JTable myTable = mytable;

myTable.changeSelection(pRow, pCol, true, true);

How to select first row of JTable by default

Hi,
I have a JTable with 5 rows.
When the software starts, none of the rows are selected.
I wish to keep the first row selected by default.
How do I do it?
I couldnt find any method like setSelectedRow() !!!
Does anyone have a sample code plz?
Thanks.
Anuj

couldnt find any method like
setSelectedRow()You need to use getSelectionModel() first.
Another way is to use:
table.changeSelection(0, 0, false, false);

How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?

How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?
I want to change the font color for only a couple of rows inside a JTable.
I've seen some ways to possibly do this with an individual cell.
Clarification on changing the font color in an individual cell would be helpful too if
there is no easy way to do this for a row.

hai,
Try out with this piece of code.Create your table and assign the renderer to each column in the table.
CellColorRenderer m_CellColorRenderer = new CellColorRenderer();
for(int i=0;i<your_JTable.getColumnCount();i++)
your_JTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i).setCellRenderer(m_CellColorRenderer);
class CellColorRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer
CellColorRenderer()
setOpaque(true);
setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
setVerticalAlignment(CENTER);
setBackground(Color.white);
setForeground(Color.black);
protected void setValue(Object value)
 setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,Object value,boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,int column)
 if(isSelected == true)
 setForeground(Color.red);
 else
 setForeground(Color.black);
 setValue(value);
 return this;

You are right. I did the same.

How to select a particular row in a JTable?

I want to select a particular row in a JTable. i.e something like
table.setSelectedRow(arg)how can i do it.

You can use
table.getSelectionModel().setwhateverIsInTheAPI(...)
depending on your selection mode.Thanx,
but i don't want to change the selectionMode, i
want to select a particular row thro program.
This is like list.setSelected(index) in
JListThe original poster was pointing you in the right direction. You have to use the SelectionModel when you want to work with the selected indexes of a JTable. It will return a ListSelectionModel, which will be an instance of DefaultListSelectionModel unless you implemented your own. Refer to the API for the appropiate method(s).

How to Select a value from DropDownByIndex -Urgent

Hi All,
I have dropdownbyindex UI elements in my Views, I get values from BAPI. When click records in a table, It goes to another view to display full record. Here i have dropdownbyIndexes So it should select one of appropriate value in dropdownbyindex based on record(Value) in table.
Example:
In Table View
id title status priority
10000 webDynPro New Low
Detail View:
id 10000
title webDynPro
Status New [New,Old,Open,Closed]---DropDownbyIndex
Priority Low [High,Low,Medium]---DropDownByIndex..4m BAPI
How to select Appropriate Values from DropdownbyIndex. if any one has sample code, that will be helpful.
Note: I am using Model Nodes
Thanks and Regards
Ravi Golla

Hi Ravi,
In details view, you will have corresponding context node created for Status and priority dropdown fields.
Let suppose, context node for Status is, StatusNode.
value attribute inside this is,
StatusNode
|_ StatusAttrib
Now, you need to write following code to set l_status ="LOW" value in it.
wdContext.nodeStatusNode().moveFirst();
for(int i=0; i<wdContext.nodeStatusNode().size(); i++)
 if(wdcontext.currentStatusNodeElement().getStatusAttrib().equals(l_status)
 wdContext.nodeStatusNode().setLeadselection(i);
 break;
wdContext.nodeStatusNode().moveNext();
write same code for priority also.
Let me know if it is not working with you.
regards,
Bhavik

To change the font of a selected row in a Jtable

Hello,
Is it possible to change the font of a selected row in a jtable?
i.e. if all the table is set to a bold font, how would you change the font of the row selected to a normal (not bold) font?
thank you.

String will be left justified
Integer will be right justified
Date will be a simple date without the time.
As it will with this renderer.Only if your custom renderer duplicates the code
found in each of the above renderers. This is a waste
of time to duplicate code. The idea is to reuse code
not duplicate and debug again.
No, no, no there will be NO duplicated code.
A single renderer class can handle all types ofdata.
Sure you can fit a square peg into a round hole if
you work hard enough. Why does the JDK come with
separate renderers for Date, Integer, Double, Icon,
Boolean? So that, by default the rendering for common classes is done correctly.
Because its a better design then having code
with a bunch of "instanceof" checks and nested
if...else code.This is only required for customization BEYOND what the default renderers provide
>
And you would only have to use instanceof checkswhen you required custom
rendering for a particular classAgreed, but as soon as you do require custom
renderering you need to customize your renderer.
which you would also have to do with theprepareRenderer calls too
Not true. The code is the same whether you treat
every cell as a String or whether you use a custom
renderer for every cell. Here is the code to make the
text of the selected line(s) bold:
public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer
renderer, int row, int column)
Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row,
, column);
 if (isRowSelected(row))
 c.setFont( c.getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD) );
 return c;
}It will work for any renderer used by the table since
the prepareRenderer(...) method returns a Component.
There is no need to do any kind of "instanceof"
checking. It doesn't matter whether the cell is
renderered with the "Object" renderer or the
"Integer" renderer.
If the user wants to treat all columns as Strings or
treat individual columns as String, Integer, Data...,
then they only need to override the getColumnClass()
method. There is no change to the prepareRenderer()
code.
Have you actually tried the code to see how simple it
is?
I've posted my code. Why don't you post your solution
that will allow the user to bold the text of a Date,
Integer, and String data in separate column and then
let the poster decide.Well, I don't see a compilable, runnable demo anywhere in this thread. So here's one
