Hello, has anyone any idea how to make a row or a column in a jtable coloured?
Thank you in advance...

Create an implementation of TableCellRenderer e.g. by extending DefaultTableCellRenderer
Overide getTableCellRendererComponent() to colour the cells.

Hai Ros,

You can make the row or column in a JTable colored by setting your own CellRenderer class(implementation of TableCellRenderer interface) for TableColumn.
Try the below given example:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Component;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.awt.Color;
public class ColoredCellTable extends JFrame{
JTable table=null;
String[] columns= {"AA","BB","CC","DD","EE"};
int[] colwidth= {50,50,30,55,60};
ColoredCellTable(){
createTable(columns,colwidth);
String[] a1Row={"xx","yy","zz","kk","ii"};
((DefaultTableModel)table.getModel()).addRow(a1Row);
String[] a2Row={"11","22","33","44","55"};
((DefaultTableModel)table.getModel()).addRow(a2Row);
String[] a3Row={"aa","bb","cc","dd","ee"};
((DefaultTableModel)table.getModel()).addRow(a3Row);
JScrollPane jsp=new JScrollPane(table);
jsp.getViewport().setBackground(Color.white);
getContentPane().add(jsp);
setSize(300,300);
setVisible(true);
}
public void createTable(String[] colname,int colwid[]){
TableColumn[] tabcol=new TableColumn[colname.length];
MyTableCellRenderer mtcr=new MyTableCellRenderer();
DefaultTableColumnModel tabcolmod=new DefaultTableColumnModel();
for(int i=0;i<colname.length;i++){
tabcol[i]=new TableColumn(i,colwid[i]);
tabcol[i].setHeaderValue(colname[i]);
tabcol[i].setCellRenderer(mtcr);
tabcolmod.addColumn(tabcol[i]);
}
MyTableModel mytable=new MyTableModel();
table=new JTable(mytable,tabcolmod);
}
class MyTableModel extends DefaultTableModel
{
public int getColumnCount(){
return columns.length;
}
public String getColumnName(int col){
return columns[col];
}
public boolean isCellEditable(int col,int row){
return false;
}
public Class getColumClass(int col,int row){
return getValueAt(col,row).getClass();
}
}
public class MyTableCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
{
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
{
Component cell = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
if(row%2==0){
if(column%2==0)
cell.setBackground(new Color(100,200,213));
else
cell.setBackground(new Color(150,250,130));
}
else{
if(column%2==0)
cell.setBackground(new Color(190,220,200));
else
cell.setBackground(new Color(250,130,10));
}
return cell;
}
}
public static void main(String arg[]){
ColoredCellTable table=new ColoredCellTable();
}
}
