Rendering ImageIcons in JTable cells

Hi folks, anyone know how to:
1. add a single ImageIcon to a JTable and then display the table, then add another imageicon and display again etc. etc...
... and...
2. take a vector of imageicons and construct a JTable directly from this?
These involve working with areas of Java I am, frankly, totally unfamiliar with and I'm actually really stuck with TableCellRenderers, JComponents, Repaint etc. so could use some assistance!
Thank you all kindly,
Jam

JDK1.3 comes with a demo that shows the use of all Swing components. The table demo has a column displaying images. The code is included so you can see how it is done:
code found in: jdk1.3\demo\jfc\SwingSet2
execute demo: java -jar SwingSet2.jar

Dynamically Rendering and editing JTable cell

Hi all,
I wonder if some body can help me.
As in my application each cell in Jtable returns java Object. and what i am trying to do is based on each object returned in cell my renderer is going to change dynamically. for example if the object returned is primitive data types the renderer is defualt, if the returned object is Map, Set or List, then the Cell Renderer should show clickable button with icon on right hand side and TextField on left hand side and so on for other objects. i am able get renderer for Map, set or list, which is button on right hand side of cell and text field on left hand side displaying toString of Object. then what i want is when i click button it should show those values in popup window and if i double click it should edit the cell which i am able to do it. so how can i handle events or what i have to do to make button clickable. if any body come accross these situations or got idea. please let me know how to move further.
Thanks,
Kotesh.

Hi,
Thanks for your advise and as i said i am able to get render for Map as (TextField in left hand side+Button with icon in right hand side side) of Cell. but what i need is when i click button which is on right hand, then i should be able to show popup wvindow with map values and if i double click on TextField which is on right hand side, then i should be able to edit Cell which is happening. but i am not able to get popup window when i click button on right hand side of cell. basically i am not sure how to handle events on cell and the button on right hand side?
if some one can guide me that will be great as i am in big trouble.
Thanks
Kotesh.

Rendering multiple objects in JTable cells

Hi,
I wish to render in a single JTable cell (actually all cells in a Column) an ImageIcon and it's associated description string. The description string should be rendered below the ImageIcon, as it's caption. How can this be done? I assume a custom cell renderer, but the details are muddy at this point.
thanks!
JPL

Thanks.
I have looked atthe tutorial, but it focuses on a single object type per cell - I've got two different types (an ImageIcon and a String) that will occupuy a single cell.
Taking a conceptual leap here, is it possible to create a new TableCellRenderer that houses a JPanel and GridLayout, and then place an ImageIcon and JLabel into that panel? I guess as long as things are JComponents, should I be OK with this approach?
thanks,
jpl

How to select rows in the inner JTable rendered in an outer JTable cell

I have wrriten the following code for creating cell specific renderer - JTable rendered in a cell of a JTable.
table=new JTable(data,columnNames)
public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int row, int column)
if ((row == 0) && (column == 0))
return new ColorRenderer();
else if((row == 1) && (column == 0))
return new ColorRenderer1();
else
return super.getCellRenderer(row, column);
ColorRenderer and ColorRenderer1 are two inner classes, which implement TableCellRenderer to draw inner JTable on the outer JTable cell, having 2 rows and 1 column each.
Now what is happening the above code keeps executing continously, that is the classes are being initialised continously, inner JTables are rendered (drawn) continously, and this makes the application slow after some time. It throws java.lang.OutOfMemoryException.
WHY IS IT SO??? I can't understand where's the bug..
Any advice please???
Moreover i want selections in inner tables and not on outer table, how can this be possible.
I am working on this since a long time but have not yet found a way out...

With your help i have overcome the problem of continous repeatition.
The major problem which I am facing is, in selecting rows in the inner rendered JTables.
I have added listener on outer JTable which select rows on the outer JTable, hence the complete inner JTable which being treated as a row, gets selected.
The thing is i need to select the rows of inner rendered JTables,not the outer JTable.
How to go about it??
I have even added listener to inner rendered JTables, but only first row of every table gets selected.
Please help....
Thanks in advance.

Which decide the JTable cell renderer behavior

Hi,
I have a subclass of JTable in which I overwrite the JTable.valueChanged() function ( which is used to implement the ListSelectionListener)
I have called setCellSelectionEnabled(true); to enable only the cell selection
I find if I don't call super.valueChanged() in myTable. valueChanged() method, the table rendering is in correct. For example,
first I select cell at row=2, col=3 (2, 3),
the cell get rendered.
then I select cell (0,3).
I find no any cell get rerendered.
but I hope this time the previous selected cell and the new selected cell are re-rendered.
This problem only happens on the same column.
If I first select cell (2,3) then select cell (2,5), then both of these cell get rerendered as I want.
However, If I call super.valueChanged(), all the cell re-render works fine.
I can see in the JTable.valueChanged(), it has varibles as:
lastSelectedRow, lastSelectedCol, but I don't find them used in any tableCellRenderer.
I wonder where in the JTable code or any related code it call the table cell renderer when cell selection changed?
Thanks

I overwrite the JTable.valueChanged() function ( which is used to implement the ListSelectionListener)I would think you should use the getSelectionModel() method and then add a ListSelectionListener to the selection model.
If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
see 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.
Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
so the posted code retains its original formatting.

Selection of Custom JTable cell renderer inconsistenent between LAFs

Sorry if that seems cryptic, but I don't know if I've run into a bug or not. I've recently switched from windows to linux and have noticed a problem with one of my programs. I have a "multiline" renderer that I made for my JTable. The renderer isn't terribly elegant, but when I'd select the row of the table, I made the multi-line renderer change its colors in response to the selection.
This color selection switching works fine under the Metal LAF and the Windows LAF. However, this no longer works in the default look and feel is for linux (GTK+???). My multiline renderer in the JTable won't change its foreground/background in response to selection, but will if I use the Metal LAF under linux.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Is this a bug? (I'm fairly certain I'm doing something silly, I just can't see it for the life of me).
Here's the code I use to update the selection:
class MultilineRenderer extends JTextArea
        implements TableCellRenderer {
    public MultilineRenderer(){
        super();
        setWrapStyleWord(false);
        setLineWrap(true);
        setFont(Const.TABLE_FONT);
        setOpaque(true);
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
            JTable table, Object text,
            boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
            int row, int column) {
        String data = (String)text;
        setText(data);
        if (isSelected){
            setForeground(table.getSelectionForeground());;
            setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
        } else {
            setForeground(table.getForeground());
            setBackground(table.getBackground());
        return this;
}

Some look and feels will ignore calls to setBackground and setForeground, and will instead decide their own colour.
To quote the API documentation:
"The background color affects each component differently and the parts of the component that are affected by the background color may differ between operating systems."
I would imagine that this is your problem. Annoying, I know!

JTable Cell Renderer problems

Hi,
I ahve created a cellRenderer so that it renders jCheckBox in the cell. However, the check boxes are intended for use by boolean values, and thats how they work best. However the problem i am having is that i want to render the boxes into cells that have either a 1 or 0. I have managed to do this and display the correct state of the box but when i want to make changes i have to change the value 0 or 1 inorder to change the check box. Is there a way i can select or deselect the checkbox when editing???
Thanks in advance
Rudy

Hi,
I am going to change my table model to try and make it more generic. However before i do so and mess everything up i would like to know if the following will work.
1. I will pass to the constructor names of columns that i want to be rendered as checkboxes.
2. I will then get the column index of that column using
public int getColumnIndex(String name) {
    for(int i = 0; i < columnNames.length; i++){
      if(columnNames.trim().equals(name)){
return i;
return -1; //if fails
3. In my get columnclass which is implemented as follows (from java demo)
public Class getColumnClass(int column) {
    int type;
    try {
      type = metaData.getColumnType(column + 1);
    catch (SQLException e) {
      return super.getColumnClass(column);
    switch (type) {
      case Types.CHAR:
      case Types.VARCHAR:
      case Types.LONGVARCHAR:
        return String.class;
      case Types.BIT:
        return Boolean.class;
      case Types.TINYINT:
      case Types.SMALLINT:
      case Types.INTEGER:
        return Integer.class;
      case Types.BIGINT:
        return Long.class;
      case Types.FLOAT:
      case Types.DOUBLE:
        return Double.class;
      case Types.DATE:
      case Types.TIMESTAMP:
        return java.sql.Date.class;
      default:
        return Object.class;
}I can add a condition that "if column (int) == the indexes if previously retrieved then return boolean class"
With this work columns that has either Y, N or null or 0, 1, or null???
I may change the columnNames to a vector so that i can use the contains method and therefore not need to find the index.
Will this work???
Thanks
Rudy

JTable cell rendering

Can anybody help me rendering a single table cell with more than one component? For example I want to set a Combobox followed by a button in the same table cell.
Thanks
Unni

DefaultTableCellRenderer is in fact a subbed JLabel. So, yes - as you can add components to a JLabel and even change the label's LayoutManager, you can treat it as if it were a JPanel.
The trick is going to be how you handle the editing......

Rendering a JTable within a JTable Cell

How can one render a JTable within another JTable cell?

You could return JTable in your TableCellRenderer.

Thanks

In summary, you have one or more columns for which the data must be wholly visible - correct? If you need all the columns to show the whole of their data, you are goinf to have to expand the table, otherwise you can expand a column with something like
myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(whichever).setPreferredWidth(whatever);

JTable Cell with two icons

Hello -
I'm rather new to Java, so please excuse me if this is a simple question. For a project I am working on, I am attempting to deal with placing two icons in a single JTable cell. For the life of me I have no idea if this is even feasible, let alone how I would implement it. Originally I thought about attempting to overload the JLabel class (as this is what the JTable cell is based upon, if I'm not mistaken?) and allowing two icons to be placed per label.
Am I on the right track? Is this even possible? Any suggestions?
Thanks much.

Please read the forum for JTable.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html
You will know that you canuse any component as CellRenderer, this component can have whatever you want (say 2 icons and 5 comboboxes)

Inserting imageicon in jtable

Hi,
I want to insert imageicon in Jtable using AbstractTableModel.
Please help me out from this.

Ravi_Gupta wrote:
Use custon Cell RendererThere's no need to use a custom cell renderer.
Just override getColumnClass method of your model to return ImageIcon.class for the appropriate column, and add the imageicon to the model.

Can not show the JCheckBox in JTable cell

I want to place a JCheckBox in one JTable cell, i do as below:
i want the column "d" be a check box which indicates "true" or "false".
String[] columnNames = {"a","b","c","d"};
Object[][] rowData = {{"", "", "", Boolean.FALSE}};
tableModel = new DefaultTableModel(rowData, columnNames);
dataTable = new JTable(tableModel);
dataTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(3).setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(new JCheckBox()));
But when i run it, the "d" column show the string "false" or "true", not the check box i wanted.
I do not understand it, can you help me?
Thank you very much!

Do not use DefaultTableModel, create your own table model and you should implement the method
getColumnClass to display the boolean as checkbox ...
I hope the following colde snippet helps you :
class MyModel extends AbstractTableModel {
          private String[] columnNames = {"c1",
"c2"};
public Object[][] data ={{Boolean.valueOf(true),"c1d1"}};
     public int getColumnCount() {
     //System.out.println("Calling getColumnCount");
     return columnNames.length;
public int getRowCount() {
//System.out.println("Calling row count");
return data.length;
public String getColumnName(int col) {
return columnNames[col];
public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
return data[row][col];
* JTable uses this method to determine the default renderer/
* editor for each cell. If we didn't implement this method,
* then the last column would contain text ("true"/"false"),
* rather than a check box.
public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();
* Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
* editable.
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
//Note that the data/cell address is constant,
//no matter where the cell appears onscreen.
return true;
* Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
* data can change.
public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
data[row][col] = value;
fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);

Shading part of a JTable Cell dependent upon the value of the cell

Hi
Was hoping some one woudl be able to provide some help with this. I'm trying to create a renderer that will "shade" part of a JTable cell's background depending upon the value in the cell as a percentage (E.g. if the cell contains 0.25 then a quarter of the cell background will be shaded)
What I've got so far is a renderer which will draw a rectangle whose width is the relevant percentage of the cell's width. (i.e. the width of the column) based on something similar I found in the forum but the part I'm struggling with is getting it to draw this rectangle in any cell other than the first cell. I've tried using .getCellRect(...) to get the x and y position of the cell to draw the rectangle but I still can't make it work.
The code for my renderer as it stands is:
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
public class PercentageRepresentationRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer{
     double percentageValue;
     double rectWidth;
     double rectHeight;
     JTable table;
     int row;
     int column;
     int x;
     int y;
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
          if (value instanceof Number)
               this.table = table;
               this.row = row;
               this.column = column;
               Number numValue = (Number)value;
               percentageValue = numValue.doubleValue();
               rectHeight = table.getRowHeight(row);
               rectWidth = percentageValue * table.getColumnModel().getColumn(column).getWidth();
          return this;
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        x = table.getCellRect(row, column, false).x;
        y = table.getCellRect(row, column, false).y;
          setOpaque(false);
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
        g2d.fillRect(x,y, new Double(rectWidth).intValue(), new Double(rectHeight).intValue());
        super.paintComponent(g);
}and the following code produces a runnable example:
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
public class PercentageTestTable extends JFrame {
     public PercentageTestTable()
          Object[] columnNames = new Object[]{"A","B"};
          Object[][] tableData = new Object[][]{{0.25,0.5},{0.75,1.0}};
          DefaultTableModel testModel = new DefaultTableModel(tableData,columnNames);
          JTable test = new JTable(testModel);
          test.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new PercentageRepresentationRenderer());
          JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane();
          scroll.getViewport().add(test);
          add(scroll);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          PercentageTestTable testTable = new PercentageTestTable();
          testTable.pack();
          testTable.setVisible(true);
          testTable.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}If anyone could help or point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
