Hi I have a class called ColorChooser (in the net.java.dev.colorchooser.ColorChooser package)
This is a custom component used to select colors. What I want is to display a JTable with ColorChoosers in the second column. So I created my own TableCellRenderer and it works:
#SuppressWarnings("serial")
class ColorChooserTableRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
public static List<ColorChooser> colors;
public ColorChooserTableRenderer(int rows) {
colors = new ArrayList<ColorChooser>(rows);
for (int i = 0; i<rows ; i ++) {
colors.add(new ColorChooser());
}
}
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
return colors.get(row);
}
}
I register this in my table :
JTable t = new JTable(5,3);
t.getColumn(t.getColumnName(1)).setCellRenderer(new ColorChooserTableRenderer(5));
The display is good. It even displays the tool tip of the ColorChoosers when i hover my mouse over one of them. The problem is that the ColorChoosers do not receive MouseEvents.
Normally when you press and hold the mouse on a ColorChooser, you get a pop up window that you can use to select a color. When in the JTable the ColorChooser component does not receive the mouse event.
Any solutions?
Edit: The question can be easily modified to this:
Can you please give me a small example of a table containing JButtons in the second column that actually work? You know, buttons that can be pressed?
This sounds vaguely familiar as I have been using table cell renderers for other purposes.
My understanding is that TableCellRenderer is only used to render the component; a component does not actually exist at each of the cells.
So you'd probably have to somehow forward mouse events from the JTable itself to the ColorChooser.
edit: p.s., see my question -- also for custom table cell rendering, you only need 1 instance of the component itself for the entire column, if the column is rendered with the same logic. Don't store persistent state in the TableCellRenderer, store it in the TableModel instead, and use that state immediately prior to rendering when you handle the call to getTableCellRendererComponent().
A renderer only paints the component on the screen and does not allow for interaction. What you need is to also implement a TableCellEditor. It is recommend that you inherit the AbstractCellEditor and you'll save some work. Check out the java tutorial for tables.
Example:
public class MyTableCellRenderer implements TableCellRenderer
{
private JButton button = new JButton("Press Me");
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
return button;
}
}
public class MyTableCellEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor
{
private JButton button;
public MyTableCellEditor()
{
button = new JButton("Press Me");
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("buttonPressed");
}
});
}
public Object getCellEditorValue() {
return null;
}
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
return button;
}
}

I want to make a JTable , where one single cell (not all rows of a column) will contain a JComponent like JdatePicker or JComboBox.
I have written this code
DefaultTableModel dm;
dm = new DefaultTableModel() {
public boolean isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
return !(columnIndex == 0); //make 0th column non-editable
}
};
Object [] columnHeaders=new Object[]{"Field", "Value"};
Object [][] data=new Object[][]{{"ID",""},{"Reg Year",""},{"Reg Date", ""}} ;
regFormTable.setModel(dm); //regFormTable is a Jtable object
I also have a class that implements TableCellrenderer:
public class datePickerCellRenderer extends JFrame implements TableCellRenderer{
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
this.add(new JDateChooser());
return this;
}
}
How can I use datePickerCellRenderer class to implement as I described. I tried a few ways. None of those worked.
[Using Netbeans GUI builder is there a way to do that?]
Plaese ask if any more code I need to add
I would like to make an editable table and then check the data to make sure its valid. Im not sure how to change the color of just one cell. I would like to get a cell, for example (0,0) and color the foreground to red. I have read the other posts on SO as well as Oracle about the custom ColorRenderer, but i just don't get how i would use this.
Thanks.
Say that the cell you would like to render with a different color represents a status (I'll take Rejected and Approved as examples). I'd then implement a method in my table model called getStatus(int row) which returns the status for any given row.
Then, when that is in place, I'd go about creating a cell renderer responsible for rendering the column which the cell belongs to. The cell renderer would be something in the lines of the below code.
public class StatusColumnCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int col) {
//Cells are by default rendered as a JLabel.
JLabel l = (JLabel) super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, col);
//Get the status for the current row.
CustomTableModel tableModel = (CustomTableModel) table.getModel();
if (tableModel.getStatus(row) == CustomTableModel.APPROVED) {
l.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
} else {
l.setBackground(Color.RED);
}
//Return the JLabel which renders the cell.
return l;
}
Then, when the renderer is in place, simply "apply" the renderer to the table with the following piece of code:
Table.getColumnModel().getColumn(columnIndex).setCellRenderer(new StatusColumnCellRenderer());
With regard to making a cell editable, simply implement the isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) method in your table model. You also need to implement the method
setValueAt(Object value, int rowIndex, int columnIndex) if you would like to keep the value which the user provides (which i assume you do!).
I would like to make an editable table and then check the data to make sure its valid.
Another approach would be to edit the data before it is saved to the table model to prevent invalid data from being entered.

I believe the correct way to do colouring in a table is via a ColorHighlighter. The table renderers have problems to render different colours in the same column.
Here is an example of how to use highlighters. In this case it is for highlighting a cell that is not editable.
public class IsCellEditablePredicate implements HighlightPredicate {
private JXTable table;
public IsCellEditablePredicate (final JXTable table) {
this.table = table;
}
#Override
public boolean isHighlighted(Component component, ComponentAdapter componentAdapter) {
return !table.isCellEditable(componentAdapter.row,
componentAdapter.column);
}
}
and then in your code for setuping the table you add the highlighter and its colour parameters:
ColorHighlighter grayHighlighter = new ColorHighlighter(new IsCellEditablePredicate(table));
grayHighlighter.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
grayHighlighter.setForeground(table.getForeground());
grayHighlighter.setSelectedBackground(table.getSelectionBackground().darker());
grayHighlighter.setSelectedForeground(table.getSelectionForeground().darker());
table.setHighlighters(grayHighlighter);
This is the simplest way to color a particular Column or cell in a jTable.
First just create a simple class of CustomRenderer
class CustomRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer <br />
{
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
{
Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
setForeground(Color.blue); >
return c;
}
}
This code gets the column of cell to render
TableColumn col = tblExamHistoryAll.getColumnModel().getColumn(5);
DefaultTableModel model3 = (DefaultTableModel)tblExamHistoryAll.getModel();
col.setCellRenderer(new CustomRenderer());
This is to clear all previous rows from your table. If you do not want them just remove these lines
model3.getDataVector().removeAllElements();
model3.fireTableDataChanged();
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
int row, int col) {
Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, col);
int control = row;
control = control % 2;
control = (control == 0) ? 1 : 0;
if (control == 1) {
c.setBackground(Color.green);
} else {
c.setBackground(Color.cyan);
}
return c;
}
The most straightforward way is to write a simple TableCellRenderer by extending the DefaultTableCellRenderer and overwriting the getTableCellRendererComponent method to setBackground( Color.RED ). For example:
final JTable table = new JTable(...);
table.setCellRenderer( new DefaultTableCellRenderer() {
public Component getTableCellRenderer(JTable table, Object value, ...) {
super.getTableCellRenderer(...);
if ( value should be highlighted ) {
setBackground( Color.RED );
}
return this;
}
});
You can extend DefaultTableCellRenderer, override getTableCellRendererComponent and call something like
if (myConditions) setBackground(myColor);
before returning "this" when conditions apply but it has a very annoying side-effect of changing the default back-color due to the way DefaultTableCellRenderer.setBackGround is coded.
The trick I found was to entirely duplicate the code of DefaultTableCellRenderer in a class named HackedDefaultTableCellRenderer, add a method that calls directly the Component's setBackground implementation:
public void setComponentBackground(Color c) {
super.setBackground(c);
}
then derive my customized rendered from this hacked class instead of from DefaultTableCellRenderer, and finally call setComponentBackground instead of setBackground in my customized getTableCellRendererComponent.
The drawback is that this HackedDefaultTableCellRenderer relies on a snapshot of DefaultTableCellRenderer.
I 'm a Java beginner.
I create an application with a JTable which is populated with a database.
In my database I have some 'news'. In my JTable I display titles of 'news' and when an user click on a row, it display a popup with the right contents of the news.
But I want to colorize the cell which are 'read' when the user clicked on it.
I use my own TableModel.
I hope I'm clear...
If I need to put some code, tell me what please...
public class JTableTest extends JFrame {
private JTable table;
private int col;
private int rowz;
/**
* Create the frame.
*/
public JTableTest() {
initComponents();
}
private void initComponents() {
/** any other components */
table = new JTable();//create the table
table.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new CustomModel());
table.addMouseListener(new CustomListener());
}
public class CustomListener extends MouseAdapter {
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent arg0) {
super.mouseClicked(arg0);
//get the clicked cell's row and column
rowz = table.getSelectedRow();
col = table.getSelectedColumn();
// Repaints JTable
table.repaint();
}
}
public class CustomModel extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
JLabel label = (JLabel) super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
Color c = Color.WHITE;//define the color you want
if (isSelected && row == rowz & column == col)
c = Color.GREEN;
label.setBackground(c);
return label;
}
}
}
Found this example of how to get the table cell on mouseClick: http://codeprogress.com/java/showSamples.php?index=52&key=JTableValueofSelectedCell
You can use this to get the selected row and column.
Then you need to create a custom TableCellRenderer, possibly as an inner class so that it can use the selected row and column data and set the background of the cell to your highlighted color
I have a table each cell contains a image. if the image size is more than row height, I have added JScrollPane. Now when I run the application, scroll is visible in each cell but I'm not able to scroll it.
How can I do it?
Below is the code I'm using to add scroll pane.
Any sample code will be appreciated.
private final JTable table = new JTable(model)
{
#Override public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer tcr, int row, int column)
{
Component c = super.prepareRenderer(tcr, row, column);
if(isRowSelected(row))
{
c.setForeground(getSelectionForeground());
c.setBackground(getSelectionBackground());
}
else{
c.setForeground(getForeground());
c.setBackground((row%2==0)?evenColor:getBackground());
}
JScrollPane _pane=new JScrollPane(c);
table.setRowHeight(100);
return _pane;
}
};
Right click on your jscrollpane
Properties
HOrizontal scrollbarpolicy = always
Vertical scrollbarpolicy = always
To be able to scroll
Right Click on Jtable
Autocreatecolumnfrommodel =false(deactivaded)
In order to be able to set the focus on the cell (so you can use the inside scroll pane), you can get it through "edit mode":
Create a custom cell editor:
public class MyCustomCellEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor{
#Override
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,Object value,boolean isSelected,int row,int column) {
JScrollPane your_custom_panel=new JScrollPane();
return your_custom_panel; // your _pane
}
#Override
public Object getCellEditorValue() {
return null;
}
Set it on your table:
table.setDefaultEditor(MyCustomCellValueType.class,new MyCustomCellEditor());
Now you only need to manage how to enter in "edit mode" and you should be able to scroll inside the cell.
I've made a custom TableCellRenderer that displays a JPanel. When the JPanel contains interactive elements I want those to work too, so I made a custom TableCellEditor. It works, but there is some weird behavior when clicking through the JPanels. Sometimes a JPanel disappears when clicked.
When I only set a custom renderer there are no problems at all, except for the JPanels not being interactive. So the problem must be in the TableCellEditor.
Editor:
public class PanelTableCellEditor
extends AbstractCellEditor
implements TableCellEditor
{
private Object _component;
#Override
public Object getCellEditorValue()
{
return _component;
}
#Override
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, int row,
int column)
{
_component = value;
if (value instanceof JPanel)
{
((Component) value).setForeground(UIManager.getColor("List.selectionForeground"));
((Component) value).setBackground(UIManager.getColor("List.selectionBackground"));
return ((Component) value);
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
}
Renderer:
public class PanelTableCellRenderer
extends Component
implements TableCellRenderer
{
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected,
boolean hasFocus, int row,
int column)
{
if (value instanceof JPanel)
{
if (isSelected || hasFocus)
{
((Component) value).setForeground(UIManager.getColor("List.selectionForeground"));
((Component) value).setBackground(UIManager.getColor("List.selectionBackground"));
}
else
{
((Component) value).setForeground(UIManager.getColor("Panel.foreground"));
((Component) value).setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Panel.background"));
}
return ((Component) value);
}
else
{
return new DefaultTableCellRenderer().getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
}
}
}
In the main form I have the next code:
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel();
model.addColumn(null, new Object[]
{
jPanel1, jPanel2, jPanel1, jPanel2, jPanel1, jPanel2, jPanel1, jPanel2, jPanel1, jPanel2, jPanel1
});
jTable1.setModel(model);
TableColumn column = jTable1.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
column.setCellRenderer(new PanelTableCellRenderer());
column.setCellEditor(new PanelTableCellEditor());
jTable1.setRowHeight(50);
jTable1.setTableHeader(null);
jScrollPane2.setColumnHeaderView(null);
There are two issues that I see here :
*Duplicate placed AWT/SWING components are a no-no ! *
1) Adding the same component twice to a panel causes issues. Swing doesn't like the same component to exist in different locations --- the state of the gui, dedrawing, etc, is all based on a model of one component - one location. I've had similar problems to yours in the past, where a component went blank because it was being added multiple times...
Missing variables ?
2) The variables jPanel1/jPanel2 are not defined anywhere in your code. I assume that this is not a problem in your actual code, though --- so maybe if you show those definitions, there could be other problems.
