I have two JTables which share the same column model. When the user resize the columns in the "main" table, the other table automatically follows. This didn't work due to a bug in Swing (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4816146). I applied the suggested fix, and seemed to work ok. However, if the user drags the column margins to the extreme right (click on one of the column margins, drag right until the cursor is outside of the frame), it will now crash with a StackOverFlowError. I must admit I have no idea about how to fix that.

In the attached example, I've only included ONE table. It still crashes. I know that this example will work OK if I remove the columnMarginsChanges method, but then the bug described above will make it impossible to have two tables with the same ColumnModel.

works correctly, bunch of code example about, but

- override those events from TableColumnModelListener, not subclass from JTable directly,

________________________

- I din't see that there are two JTables,

- the same about TableColumnModel,

- rest of events must be delayed by Swing Timer (call timer.restart()) until resize ended, this events is fired per every of pixel, everything inside your columnMarginChanged should be called only one time

- doLayout can be usefull for JTextArea/Pane as Renderer/Editor

- whats real reason for resizingColumn.setPreferredWidth(resizingColumn.getWidth()); default TableCellEditort is JTextField, how, where and why this code to set something for

Bottolf, the solution is the same as the one recommended by Rob Camick in your other thread. Let us know if this poses any problems with two tables.Also added an 'else' to get rid of the 'return' statement.

edit As a courtesy to those who copy/paste/run your posted code, please include a line to set the defaultCloseOperation of a JFrame to EXIT_ON_CLOSE.

Thank you. It fixed the StackOverflowError, and it works OK with ONE table, but not with two. I can drag one column margin once, but then the columns seem to freeze.

I've modified my example to include two tables. The idea is that when moving or resizing columns in table 1, table 2 should follow.

BTW: I discovered that if I add , the original solution works, but then the table with seems to become totally independent of the scrollpane width, which is not what i want...

Fixed it, but I don't understand why it works :-).

The problem turned out to be that the call to doLayout causes columnMarginChanged to be called recursively. Ususally a limited number of times, but when you drag the column margins to the extreme right, this goes on until memory is exhausted. I added a hack to avoid the method being called recursively (see isColumnMarginChangeInProgress in the code below), and now it works perfectly, at least from what I can see.

I've tried both with invokeLater and swing.Timer, but without success. The problem remains the same, although the GUI behaves somewhat differently.
