Left most column locking

[Narayanan Jayaraman]

Can some one tell me how to lock the left most column in JTable ? Thanks

Hi Narayanan,
What do you mean by lock... diallow editing or disallow moving?
If it is disallow editing, you could override the isCellEditable method of your table model in such a way that it returns false only for that column:

public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
  if (col == 0) {
    return false;
  } else {
    return true;
  }
}

Hope I understood your query correctly.
Abhik.

Hi Abhik,
When scrolling table columns to the right, I want to lock the 1st column in the table, so that user can see the first column always, even when they scroll the other columns. Thanks

Hi Narayanan,
It appears that you haven't yet discovered Tamemusa's Swing examples
(Look for the "Fixed Column" example at the bottom of that Web page!)
Hope it helps.
Good Luck,
Avi.
