Jtable - Set visible columns

Hi,
I'm trying to build an applet to edit mysql tables. I used a Jtable inside a JscrollPane but I would like to display only 3 or 4 columns at a time (I can have up to 40 !) and then let the user scrolls to the others with the horizontal scrollbar.
My problem is that all the columns are always displayed (width reduced to fit) in the scrollpane. How can I reduce the number of visible columns ?
Thanks,
Olivier

Random guess. Don't set any size (especially, preferredSize) on the JTable if it's within a JSCrollPane.
For better help (anything less random), please post an SSCCE (http://sscce.org).
Best regards,
J.

JTable - Setting multiple columns with different color

Building excel type functionality in Java.
I have a database table like this
id PK
min_x
max_x
min_y
max_y
color
1. I need to create a JTable having 50 colums and 50 rows.
2. I need to select mouse selection color.
3. On mouse selection I have to change the Background-color or foreground-color of JTable cells and on click of save button I need to get the data in following manner column start of particular color as min_x, column end of particular color as max_x, row start of particular color as min_y, row end of particular color as max_y, and bg or foreground color.
can some one tell me is there a way to do this. Or any other way to implement this functionality.

Can't set custom column widths in JTable

I'm trying to set custom columns widths. They are set as I wish but then they are reset to default values (all columns have the same size). This is caused by method JFrame.setVisible(true) which invokes JTree.setWidthsFromPreferredWidths(). It can be investigated from following stack trace printed when a column being resized (see below).
How to prevent this auto width sizing?
P.S. can't override JTable.setWidthsFromPreferredWidths(); seems it's private
table = new JTable(model) {
     public void columnMarginChanged(ChangeEvent event) {
          new Exception("stack trace").printStackTrace();
          super.columnMarginChanged(event);

When I create the table I have code like this:TableColumn col = getColumnModel().getColumn(2);
col.setMinWidth(width + 4);
col.setMaxWidth((int)(width * 1.2));Works just fine for me. The setWidthsFromPreferredWidths() method will use these limits as far as I can see.

Restoring af:selectBooleanCheckbox value after setting visible=true

Using JDev 11.1; I have a table that displays data from a model object, and one of the columns contains true/false values which we render in the table using an af:selectBooleanCheckbox. All works fine except that user is able to hide the table by expanding other components which sets visible=false on the bounding component for the table. If user elects to redisplay the table by reducing the other component zoom, then the table displays again but the selected check-marks/tags do not return.
Thought initially it might've been because the query was being reissued on the table, but not so. More about the selected attribute on the af:selectBooleanCheckbox, which I have set to the default (false). So the value property is set to the table collection attribute as required to interface with the model, but I need to know what to set the selected attribute to. I can see that when the table is redisplayed, this default value of false is being sent through to the model which is discarding the values I want to retain.
I've tried some EL in the selected property to set it to true/false based on what's in the table, but the problem with that is that it becomes essentially a read-only control. I need to find some way to disable the value assignment when making the table visible again. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Andrefs,
In ADF BC, one way we deal with this is by adding a transient Boolean attribute to the View Object with getters (translate 0/1 to false/true) and setters (vice-versa). Then, we bind the UI to the transient attribute. It's been so long since I've done EJB's, but could you take a similar approach?

JTable: resizing all columns as 1 column resizes

I have a JTable with 480 columns inside of a JScrollPane (AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COLUMNS needs to be off for the JTABLE to display correctly in the JScrollPane). When the user resizes one column I would like the rest of the columns to resize too, so that the column widths of each column are equal.
Thank you in advance,
Brent

[...] I
I have the JScrollPane listening to a histogram of the
balances so the user can click on a month in the
histogram and the JScrollPane (actually JViewport)
will move to display the appropriate column in the
JTable. If the column sizes are not uniform then I
cannot be sure that I'm moving the JViewport to
display the correct JTable column(s).
I thing the GUI is a great design for what must be
done. And thank you for your help and comments.That still sounds pretty klunky. I don't see any user navigating around a 480 column table. They click in your histogram to go to a column, they click somewhere or do keyboard navigation and the display scrolls them a few columns/rows away... they are now lost in a sea of cells and have to go back to the histogram again to try and get back, etc. Having delt with similar situations, there are better ways. Read the last two days dilbert cartoons carefully. :-)
But anyway...
You don't have to have all the columns the same width to make a column visible in the viewport. You can just get the appropriate column's rect by either of these methods:Rectangle r = myTable.getTableHeader().getHeaderRect( col );
Rectangle r = myTable.getCellRect( row, col, true );And then tell the viewport to make sure that rect is visible:myViewport.scrollRectToVisible( r );Much easier than hacking around with custom column resizing logic.

Set default columns in af;panelCollection

In <af:panelCollection>, the user can choose to show/hide table columns. Is it possible for me to set which columns are shown/hidden by default when the user loads the page?
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0

... and the properties you set for the panelCollection applies to panelCollection only (of course, at runtime, changing the value through the menu items in it affects the child component - tree/table/treetable). So, as Frank mentioned, you need to hide the columns by setting its visible property.
Check this blog to know more about what you can do with the featureOff attribute of panelCollection.

Dynamic JTable and rendering column as JComboBox

I originally posted this to the "Java Programming" topic, but it was suggested that I move it over here.
I'm new to cell renderers and editors, so I'm hoping someone can put me on the right path.
I've got a JTable that is initially empty. I've set one column to use a custom cell renderer that extends JComboBox and implements TableCellRenderer.
The user can add rows to the table at any time, I'm using TableModel.addRow() for this. When I call addRow, I pass the entryies for the JComboBox column as a String[], with one array element for each entry in the JComboBox.
In my custom renderer, I take the values from the array and use JComboBox.addItem() to add them to the JComboBox.
When I run the code, it appears fine, but the JComboBox doesn't function, i.e. it is not editable (yes, the column is set as editable). I assume I need to add a custom editor. I tried
table.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(ComboBoxCellRenderer);
and the combobox was now editable, but it was empty and I got nullpointer exceptions.
What am I missing?
Any help is appreciated. Here is what I'm trying:
**************** Constructing the table **************
DefaultTableModel tablemodel = new DefaultTableModel(columnnames,0);
datasourcestable = new JTable(tablemodel) ;
// Set custom renderer for particular columns in this JTable
ComboBoxCellRenderer renderer = new ComboBoxCellRenderer();
TableColumn waveformscalarcolumn = datasourcestable.getColumnModel().getColumn(datasourcestable.getColumn("Title").getModelIndex());
waveformscalarcolumn.setCellRenderer(renderer);
// tried the following, combobox becomes editable but empty
//waveformscalarcolumn.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(renderer));
*************** Adding rows to the table (Event Code)*********************
DefaultTableModel tablemodel = (DefaultTableModel)datasourcestable.getModel();
Object[] rowdata = new Object[3];
rowdata[0] = "gaga";
String[] cboxentries = {"cbox entry 1","cbox entry 2"};
rowdata[1] = cboxentries;
rowdata[1] = "gaga"'
tablemodel.addRow(rowdata);
**************** Custom Cell Renderer **********************
class ComboBoxCellRenderer extends JComboBox implements TableCellRenderer {
public ComboBoxCellRenderer() {
setOpaque(true);
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
String[] stringarray = (String[]) value;
for (int i=0; i<stringarray.length; i++){
this.addItem(stringarray);
return this;
}

Ah! Using the ArrayList of editors in getCellEditor() is very clever, that's the solution I couldn't come up with. Now I just have to remember to add and delete editors as I add and delete rows.
Thanks, I've got everything working now. Here's are some code snippets, for anyone interested. I used Vector rather than ArrayList to be thread safe.
// ******************* Global variables ***********
Vector<TableCellEditor> editors = new Vector<TableCellEditor>(24,8);
JTable table;
// *************** construct table ****************
DefaultTableModel tablemodel = new DefaultTableModel(columnnames,0);
table = new JTable(tablemodel) {
     public TableCellEditor getCellEditor(int row,int col) {
          int modelcolumn = convertColumnIndexToModel(col);
          int fancycol = table.getColumn("Title").getModelIndex();
          if (modelcolumn == fancycol) {
               return (TableCellEditor)editors.elementAt(row);
          } else {
               return super.getCellEditor(row,col);
// Set custom renderer for particular column in this JTable
ComboBoxCellRenderer comboboxrenderer = new ComboBoxCellRenderer();
TableColumn column = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(table.getColumn("Title").getModelIndex());
column.setCellRenderer(comboboxrenderer);
//*************** Adding rows to the table (Event Code)*********************
DefaultTableModel tablemodel = (DefaultTableModel)table.getModel();
Object[] rowdata = new Object[3];
rowdata[0] = "gaga";
String[] cboxentries = {"cbox entry 1","cbox entry 2"};
JComboBox cellcombo = new JComboBox();
cellcombo.addItem(cboxentries[0]);
cellcombo.addItem(cboxentries[1]);
DefaultCellEditor editor = new DefaultCellEditor(cellcombo);
editors.add(editor);
rowdata[1] = cellcombo.getItemAt(0);          // don't know if this matters
rowdata[2] = "gaga2";
tablemodel.addRow(rowdata);
//**************** Custom Cell Renderer *********************
class ComboBoxCellRenderer extends JComboBox implements TableCellRenderer {
     public ComboBoxCellRenderer() {
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
// display value in our JComboBOx
          this.addItem(value);
          this.setSelectedItem(value);

Jtable: set different icons for selection/deselection

Hai,
I have designed a Jtable, I would like to set a column that has to show different icons when selected/deselected that row. To be specific when you click for the first time, it has to show ICON1 and if you click again it has to show ICON2. Any ideas ???
Thanks,
Bala.

I haven't tried this - so take it with a grain of salt. In your table model, you can define the getColumnClass for the column as ImageIcon.class. In the getValue for that column, you would return the icon.
In order to get the cell to act like a button .. so you can alternate between the icons ... is a little more complex. There is a book on Advanced Swing by Kim Topley that gets into making cells act like buttons. This part works because I have tried it -- but I wasn't displaying icons.
good luck!

Set a column to be nullable

Hi, I am not really good at SQL. Please help me if you can.
I have a column that's Nullable (yes), default (1). Now I want to set the default of the column to null and set the column to be nullable. Here is what I am doing:
create table testit
(foo number default 1 not null, doo varchar(10));
insert into testit (foo, doo) values (15, 'a')
insert into testit (foo, doo) values (14, 'b')
insert into testit (doo) values ('c')
select * from testit
This will return 3 rows where foo=1 when doo='c'. Now I do:
ALTER TABLE testit
modify foo DEFAULT NULL
This will set the default value of foo to be NULL, however, the Nullable is still No. Then when I do
insert into testit (doo) values ('ddd')
I get "cannot insert Null into (testit.foo). What should I do?
Thanks. :D

i want to display 999 no of columns in a adf table. since it is not a better way to show all the columns in the adf table at a time, we want to show 10 columns at first and by using the next and previous links the user can see the next and previous set of columns. i dont know how to do this. please help me.
parameswaran

You have to put table name in Capital letters
Like
SELECT COUNT(1)
FROM user_tab_columns
WHERE table_name = 'EMP';
or
SELECT COUNT(1)
FROM user_tab_columns
WHERE table_name = UPPER('Emp');Regards

Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?
<Re-Titled By Host>

No, because you can't set a columns view default.

How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?

Dear SharePoint Developers,
Please help.
I need to know How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?
I think this is a "sealed column", whatever that is, which is shown in SPD 2013 as a column of content type "document, folder, MyCustomContentType".
I know when I set the column order in my custom Content Type settings page, it is correct.
But, when I load the NewDocSet.aspx page, the column order that I set in the settings page is NOT used for this "sealed column" which is bad.
Can you help?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Per my knowledge, if you have Content Type management enabled for the list or library (if you see a list of content type with the option to add more), the display order of columns is set for each content type.
Drill down into one of them and you'll see the option under the list of columns for that content type.
To apply the column order in the NewDocSet.aspx page, you need to:
Select Site Settings, under Site Collection Administration, click Content type publishing. In the Refresh All Published
Content Types section, choose Refresh all published content types on next
update.
Run two timer jobs(Content Type Hub, Content Type Subscriber) in central admin(Central Administration--> Monitoring--> Review timer jobs).
