Hi there ,
I am despertaly trying to implement a MultiLine JTable.
I found some code on
http://share.runtime-collective.com/~guillaume/java/multilineCells/MultilineCells.html which works great except if you initailise the table with text that is longer than the cell width .
Can anyone see why this is happening, also I have noticed that if I click on the first cell and insert a SPACE it displays the rest of the text (but only if you click on that cell first and not on any others)
Thanks in advance
Robin
Source Code :
// MultLineCellExample.java
public class MultiLineCellExample {
public static void main(
String[] args) {
JFrame f = new JFrame();
DefaultTableModel dm = new DefaultTableModel() {
public Class getColumnClass(int columnIndex) {
return String.class;
}
};
dm.setDataVector(new Object[][]{{"aa
TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST END","bb","cc"},
{"A\nA","B\nB","C\nC"}},
new Object[]{"1","2","3"});
JTable table = new JTable( dm );
MultiLineCellEditor editor = new MultiLineCellEditor(table);
table.setDefaultEditor(String.class,editor);
dm.fireTableRowsInserted(0,0);
JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane( table );
f.getContentPane().add( scroll );
f.setSize( 400, 400 );
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
