JScrollPane scroll setting first column is not visible?

Question

Hi All,
i am using jtable and jscrollpane. in this my first column of 70 pixal width and rest 125 pixal width.set focus is on 1 cell(1 row, 1 column) in table. but due to this scrollbar is slightly on right side whice coz first column not visible.(need to drag for visibility). i am trying to make it visible without dragging.
how to do this? HELP.
i tried with tableScroll.scrollRectToVisible(table.getCellRect(0,0,true )); & -1,-1
but it didnt worked.
Code is like this..........
table = new JTable(64,65){
table.setName("Table");
((DefaultTableModel)table.getModel()).setColumnIdentifiers(vectName.getColumnIdentifiers());
          for(int i = 0;i<table.getRowCount();i++) {
               table.setValueAt((i+1)+"",i,0);
          table.setGridColor(Color.black);
          table.setSelectionBackground(new Color(125,255,144));
          table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
          table.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);          
          table.addKeyListener(listener);
          table.addMouseListener(listener);
          table.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(this);
          table.getColumnModel().addColumnModelListener(this);
          table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setResizable(false);
          table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setMinWidth(70);
          table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setMaxWidth(70);
JScrollPane tableScroll = new JScrollPane(table);
Dimension minimumSize = new Dimension(100,25);
tableScroll.setMinimumSize(minimumSize);          
add(tableScroll);

Hi weebib ,
pls find some working code which shous my problame .
you can see its coming to column 'B'. but i want it to show from column 'A' .
sample working code : =
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.util.*;
public class myTable extends JFrame{
JTable table;
JScrollPane jsp;
JPanel p1;
int NO_OF_ROWS = 64;
int NO_OF_COLUMNS = 65;
Vector vColumnNames ;
myTable(){
     Container con = getContentPane();
     p1 = new JPanel();
     table = new JTable(NO_OF_ROWS,NO_OF_COLUMNS){
          public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
                              if(column == 0){
                                   return false;
                              else{
                                   return true;
     setTableProperties();
     jsp = new JScrollPane(table);
     p1.add(jsp);
     con.add(p1);
     setSize(400,500);
     show();
     //System.out.println("Hello there");
public Vector getColumnIdentifiers(){
     vColumnNames = new Vector();
               for(int i=65;i<129;i++) {
                    vColumnNames.add(new String((char)i+""));// setting the alphabets for the column names //orig
     return vColumnNames ;
public void setTableProperties(){
     ((DefaultTableModel)table.getModel()).setColumnIdentifiers(getColumnIdentifiers());
     for(int i = 0;i<table.getRowCount();i++) {
                    table.setValueAt((i+1)+"",i,0);// Set the names of the row
     table.setGridColor(Color.black);
     table.setSelectionBackground( Color.RED);
     table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
     table.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
     table.addMouseListener(new myMouseListener());
     table.addKeyListener(new myKeyListener());
//     table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setPreferredWidth(125);
//     table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setResizable(false);
//     table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setMinWidth(70);
//     table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setMaxWidth(70);
     for(int u =0 ;u<64;u++){
          if(u==0){
               table.getColumnModel().getColumn(u).setPreferredWidth(70);
          else{
               table.getColumnModel().getColumn(u).setPreferredWidth(200);
     table.changeSelection(0,1,false,false);
static public void main(String[] args){
          myTable test = new myTable();
          test.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
               public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){System.exit(0);}
public class myMouseListener extends MouseAdapter{
     public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){
               table.repaint();
public class myKeyListener extends KeyAdapter{
     public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke){
               if(table.getSelectedColumn() == 0){
                    ke.consume();

pls do reply back if i am doing something wrong.
