Using Mutilple Cell Editor on single column of JTable

[Gauhar Khan]

Hi All,

Can any body tell me how to specify multiple cell editor on a single column of a JTable.
i.e I want to use JTextField to edit cell indexed at(1,2)...JCombobox to edit cell indexed at(2,2)...JLabel to edit cell at(3,2)...what should i do to Code it???

I just did this (I think my method is kind of a hack, but it works).
I created another column in the table that holds the celleditor (drop down box or JText field) and I overrode the getCellEditor method to return the one that is in the adjacent column. Of course you want to remove this column from the table before displaying it.

If you know before hand what cells require what types of editor, you could also just do a switch/if statement to return the right editor.

 public TableCellEditor getCellEditor(int row, int column)
{
if(column == X && row == Y )
{
return whateverCellEditor;
}
}
