Rendering a single column in a JTable for accepting different datatypes ?

[Meghna ks]

Hi
I need to make the 2nd column in a JTable to accept different data types eg; Integer, Float, String, Color, File, Font(cell rendered as a textfield with a borderlayout & a button within the textfield's east layout with a dialog box popping up when the button is clicked). How can a single column of a JTable be taken care of all these requirements?
Thanks
Meghna

Hi,
I dont think so it would be possible for a column to accept
the said data types. The entire column can have only one datatype. I would be pleased to know if it is possible to do so.

Durga

Example 2 for tables on the link I gave you does the same.

Hi Meghna,
Thanks for making me aware of the link. I had gone thru the link, the RowEditorModel basically sets the editor for the entire row, which is what we don't want. We want to set the editor at a cell level not yet row level. You may have to change this RowEditorModel to CellEditorModel. The CellEditorModel should return me a editor if I call getEditor(int row, int col).
Please let me know how you could do it.

Durga
