Table multi selection

Question

I am using a Jtable with MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION.
I saw in the java doc that this means:
" A value for the selectionMode property: select one or more
contiguous ranges of indices at a time."
I want a normal multi selection behaviour:
enabling the user to wark with ctrl or shift and mouse clicks to select several rows.
(currently the shift is working but only with the keyboard keys).
How can i set this behaviour?

Answer 1

Use this table model ...
package framework;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class MultipleSelectionTableModel extends DefaultTableModel
   Vector rowVector;
   Vector columnVector;
   public MultipleSelectionTableModel(Vector rowVector, Vector columnVector)
      for (int i = 0; i < columnVector.size(); i++)
         this.addColumn(columnVector.get(i).toString());
      for (int i = 0; i < rowVector.size(); i++)
         this.addRow((Vector) rowVector.get(i));
   public Class getColumnClass(int columnIndex)
      Object o = getValueAt(0, columnIndex);
      if (o == null)
         return Object.class;
      else
         return o.getClass();
   public boolean isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int mColIndex)
      if (mColIndex == 0)
         return true;
      else
         return false;
}You would set this table model as ..
         MultipleSelectionTableModel myDefaultTableModel = new MultipleSelectionTableModel(rowDataVector, columnVector);
         yourTable.setModel(myDefaultTableModel);hope it'd do ;)
Cheers...
