Displaying Data

[Christian Garcia]

Can anyone explain to me that approach he/she took to display the data in the Table? I have code returning DataInfo objects and have a custom TableModel for data display. The question that I haven't found a sound answer to is how the data should be taken from each DataInfo object and then populated in the table?

In my TableModel I created a method called
private void setDataArray(DataInfo[] records, int fieldCount)
I call this method from the constructor of the table model. In this Array I create a 2 dimensional array. I loop through the DataInfo array and assign the values to the 2 dim array, and there you go.

Mark,
So, if I use code similiar to this:

String[][] myArray = new String[0][0]
myArray[0][0] = {1,2,3,4,5};

The TableModel will be able to populate a row with the data contained in myArray[0][0] ?

Yes that is the basic idea. You are transforming the DataInfo array into a two dimensional array that a DefaultTableModel already knows how to handle, in one three line method.
