Multi-line JTable headers?

Is there any way for a JTable column header to have 2 or more lines of text? I want narrow columns with fairly lengthy text descriptions.
The only thing I could think of was to override AbstractTableModel.getColumnName to send String values with embedded "\n" or html " " constructs. Neither method works.

I'm sorry, my earlier statement was not precise enough.
The technique you show does produce multi-line header text; however the height of the header is unchanged, so only the center line is visible (or the bottom of line 1 and the top of line 2, if two lines are written).
Do you know if the height of the header row can be changed?

Multi line column JTable

Hi,
I am working on JTable and I am using DefaultTableModel.
I have a requirement that in one of the cells I need to show a multi line text which may contain 10 to 50 lines of text.I need to show all the text even on resizing the table.
Can anyone give me suggessions regarding this.
Thanks,
Bussa.

Hi,
Write your custom JTableCellEditor and Renderer to install a JTextArea on the cell you want.
You can set the size of the larger row separately via
JTable.setRowHeight(int row, int value); To display the full text you should set
JTextArea.setLineWrap(true);
JTextArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);and set the width of the JTextArea static.
after this calculate the height of the JTextArea and set it to the table.

JTable multi line header behaves strangely

Hello,
I'm trying to use html-tags in my JTable headers. For some reasons only the first column-name has any effect on the header height. If the other columns have more lines than the first column, they are cut off.
Is there a solution to this problem?

I extended the JTable and overrode the addColumn method:
   @Override
   public void addColumn(TableColumn column) {
      super.addColumn(column);
      if (column!= null && getTableHeader() != null
            && getTableHeader().getDefaultRenderer() != null) {
         column.setHeaderRenderer(getTableHeader().getDefaultRenderer());
   }That seemed to work well, but perhaps there are more elegant solutions?

Print JTable with multi line header

I need to print a JTable with multi line header, I want to know if I can use the method jTable.print(int, MessajeFormat, MessageFormat) by manipulation of the MessageFormat. How I can manipulate it?
Otherwise, How I can print this?

hi again,
To print pdf in a swing application you don't need servlet.jar.
You'll only need itext.jar and a printer connected to your pc.
Download the iText source code and unzip it. See the following classes:
com.lowagie.tools.LPR and com.lowagie.tools.BuildTutorial. This latter is the main class of a swing tool that you can run.
Silent Print:
You have only to embed this javascript code in your pdf:
writer.addJavaScript("this.print(false);", false);
                    document.add(new Chunk("Silent Auto Print"));Then, you have to send the document to the printer.
Google : java print pdf
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=523898 or
http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/javax.print/pkg.html for printing task.
Under unix system, I used this:
                       String PRINTER = ...;
               try {
                    String cmd = "lp -d " + PRINTER + " " + PDF_PATH;
                    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "sh", "-c", cmd });
               } catch (Exception e) {
                             //handle the exception
                             e.printStackTrace();
               }hth

Multi-line Labels in Swing 1.1?

Hi
Is it possible to get multi-line labels

I think you should create a custom table cell renderer. As I am a lazy one I'd subclass a default renderer as follows (I have not tried it, it's just a clue):
public class MultilineTableCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
     private JTextArea renderer;
     public MultilineTableCellRenderer()
          renderer = new JTextArea();
          renderer.setEnabled(false);
          // You should find out another color constant if you are using
          // Java L&F, this works with the Windows L&F.
          renderer.setDisabledTextColor(UIManager.getColor("control"));
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
          Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus, int row,
          int column)
          JComponent compo = (JComponent) super.getTableCellRendererComponent(
               table, value, isSelected, cellHasFocus, row, column);
          renderer.setBackground(compo.getBackground());
          renderer.setForeground(compo.getForeground());
          renderer.setDisabledTextColor(compo.getForeground());
          renderer.setBorder(compo.getBorder());
          // Might need something like that.
          /* renderer.setText(value.toString() ???); */
          return renderer;
}You might want to stub out methods like repaint, validate for better performance in a JTextArea subclass...

Multi-colored JTable column heading? How?

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to have JTable column heading text
that can be displayed in multiple colors, so one string
in one column header, might have each letter a different
color.
My application requires highlighting some of the letters
of a word as red, while others are normal text (black).
I've been using multi-line strings to simulate vertical
naming for my column header, for example:
PPP
I I I
N N N
1 2 3
for PIN1, PIN2, PIN3. The column data has a binary
one or zero for each pin, grouped together in one JTable
column. In my application, if there is an error, I want to
color just the text representing, say PIN2 red and leave
the surrounding PIN1 and PIN3 black.
What approach should I take for doing this with JTable?
Thanks!

You should override the default cell renderer used by Java
- JTable.getTableHeader().setDefaultRenderer(yourRenderer)
Extend yourRenderer from JLabel and use HTML tags to change the color.
- setText on JLabel with the HTML code like "<HTML> <BODY> A B </BODY> </HTML>"

Hi,
With your first xml you can print like
EMP1
71000, Sample, 01-Jan-2010
72000, Sample, 01-Feb-2010
73000, Sample, 01-March-2010While creating the RTF template you can use the Group by option.
<?for-each-group:ROW;./columnname> then print the column name
<?columnname?>
--Then your table format
71000, Sample, 01-Jan-2010
72000, Sample, 01-Feb-2010
73000, Sample, 01-March-2010
<?end for-each-group?>
Thanks.

Permanently save line spacing in a multi-line text field

Me: Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, Windows Vista
(I think the people who will be using the form have Reader 7 on Windows)
I work in a doctors' clinic, and we use phone message sheets to document conversations between the patients/us/nurses/doctors, and I scanned the form and made it into a fillable PDF for our secretaries to fill out more quickly. The "message" area has pre-printed lines on it, and the multi-line text field I placed there needs to match up to the lines. I used the Rich Text Formatting options to set it to "Exactly 24 Points," but I can't get it to KEEP the formatting permanently. The only way I could get it to save the formatting in that field was to put a space in it and then save it, and then give that to the 2 phone secretaries. It works perfectly the first time, but instead of just closing/re-opening the file to start a new message, one of the secretaries highlights everything in the "message" field and deletes it... which deletes the line spacing formatting. I've told her
b numerous
times to leave that starting space in the field, but she "forgets" so all of her messages look messed up. So is there a way to force that line spacing
b PERMANENTLY
???? Here's a shrunken screenshot of the field -- I wish I could just erase the lines altogether so the spacing wouldn't matter, but the secretaries type/print the message out, then the nurses/docs write on the page with pen so the lines have to stay. http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=notepreviewph8.jpg
Thanks!

You can set the font size of the text. Then play with the underlines in the original document to match the needs of the font that is used. Print to a new PDF and then use replace pages to put the new page into the form without changing the form fields. I was able to do this with a word processing document by adding underlining in the document with 12 pt and setting the font to 12 pt in the text field. You can play with the font, the border of the field, and the underlining in the original document to get the desired result. Is this optimal, probably not. However it does the job.

Multi Line Text Custom Field

Multi line text custom field is not coming in ms project Professional

Pradeep,
You cannot access Multiline text fields from Project Professional and in Project Server Views. These fields are for use in Project Details pages and with workflow for demand management in Project Server. Please refer to the article shared in earlier post.
I would recommend you to create a Excel/SSRS report if you would like to show data available in this fields to end users.
Hope this helps.

Address Book: Importing Multi-Line Fields

A common and often unavoidable import format for Mac Address Book is Comma Separated Value files (.csv). Address Book cannot import CSV files that have multi-line fields, such as might be included in Notes, because it cannot tolerate embedded newline characters (a.k.a., carriage returns, line breaks). (See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad808.html. The CSV spec (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) addresses this need by requiring that fields which contain newlines be enclosed in quotes, but Address Book doesn't adhere to this part of the standard.)
Here's a way to import CSV files and have multi-line fields preserved:
Using an editor, replace +every embedded+ newline character in the CSV file with "\n". Take care to not alter the newline characters that end each record. Import the resulting file into Address Book using the CSV option. Selecting the 'Last Import' group, export those specific records using the vCard option. Then delete those records. Then import the vCards previously exported. Presto!
Apparently, although Address Book is blind to "\n" when importing CSV files, and exporting vCard fields, it interprets this character sequence as newline when importing vCards.

Hi Adam,
Thanks, but the problem is not importing to AddressBook, it is exporting. I did discover from another that I can export very easily to a Numbers spreedsheet. It is exceptionally simple. But it will not export custom fields. Someone said that is because of a vcard standard. My custom fields are just "name" fields that I have labeled differently. But Numbers does not support the name (it only takes the name of the card).

Multi line issue in Table Cell Editor

Hi,
I am developing an occasionally connected application for handheld devices using NetWeaver Mobile 7.1. In one of the view, I have a table which display items information from the data source. In one of the column I need to display item description so I used TextEdit in the Cell Editor to display the information in multi line format and also wrapping is enabled.
But during testing of the application the TextEdit control does not wraps the text and as well as only first line of TextEdit control is visible inside the table and rest of the rows are not visible because of table's row height is not adjusted to the TextEdit control. I couldn't find any option to vary the size of the row height of the table.
Please suggest a solution to bring multi line display with in the table.
Also, check out my other issue posted here.
[Issue in wrapping of text in TextEdit control|Issue in wrapping of text in TextEdit control]
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
DVR.

Hi Vinodh,
Mutliline text in a text view/edit control inside a table cell is not supported.
You can view multiline text in a text view/edit as a seperate control inside a view. I think in case you want to see the whole address you can create a detail(s) view which can be navigated from the list (table) view.
