A TableColumn represents all the attributes of a column in a JTable, such as width, resizability, minimum and maximum width. In addition, the TableColumn provides slots for a renderer and an editor that can be used to display and edit the values in this column.

It is also possible to specify renderers and editors on a per type basis rather than a per column basis - see the setDefaultRenderer method in the JTable class. This default mechanism is only used when the renderer (or editor) in the TableColumn is null.

The TableColumn stores the link between the columns in the JTable and the columns in the TableModel. The modelIndex is the column in the TableModel, which will be queried for the data values for the cells in this column. As the column moves around in the view this modelIndex does not change.

Note: Some implementations may assume that all TableColumnModels are unique, therefore we would recommend that the same TableColumn instance not be added more than once to a TableColumnModel. To show TableColumns with the same column of data from the model, create a new instance with the same modelIndex.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

public TableColumn(int modelIndex, int width) { this(modelIndex, width, null, null); }
Creates and initializes an instance of TableColumn with the specified model index, width, cell renderer, and cell editor; all TableColumn constructors delegate to this one. The value of width is used for both the initial and preferred width; if width is negative, they're set to 0. The minimum width is set to 15 unless the initial width is less, in which case the minimum width is set to the initial width.

When the cellRenderer or cellEditor parameter is null, a default value provided by the JTable getDefaultRenderer or getDefaultEditor method, respectively, is used to provide defaults based on the type of the data in this column. This column-centric rendering strategy can be circumvented by overriding the getCellRenderer methods in JTable.

Params:
  • modelIndex – the index of the column in the model that supplies the data for this column in the table; the model index remains the same even when columns are reordered in the view
  • width – this column's preferred width and initial width
  • cellRenderer – the object used to render values in this column
  • cellEditor – the object used to edit values in this column

Sets the model index for this column. The model index is the index of the column in the model that will be displayed by this TableColumn. As the TableColumn is moved around in the view the model index remains constant.
Params:
  • modelIndex – the new modelIndex
/** * Sets the model index for this column. The model index is the * index of the column in the model that will be displayed by this * <code>TableColumn</code>. As the <code>TableColumn</code> * is moved around in the view the model index remains constant. * @param modelIndex the new modelIndex */

Sets the TableCellRenderer used to draw the TableColumn's header to headerRenderer.

It is the header renderers responsibility to render the sorting indicator. If you are using sorting and specify a renderer your renderer must render the sorting indication.

Params:

Sets the TableCellRenderer used by JTable to draw individual values for this column.
Params:

See Also:

@BeanProperty(description = "The renderer to use for cell values.") public void setCellRenderer(TableCellRenderer cellRenderer) { TableCellRenderer old = this.cellRenderer; this.cellRenderer = cellRenderer; firePropertyChange("cellRenderer", old, cellRenderer); }
Returns the TableCellRenderer used by the JTable to draw values for this column. The cellRenderer of the column not only controls the visual look for the column, but is also used to interpret the value object supplied by the TableModel. When the cellRenderer is null, the JTable uses a default renderer based on the class of the cells in that column. The default value for a cellRenderer is null.
See Also:

Returns the TableCellEditor used by the JTable to edit values for this column. When the cellEditor is null, the JTable uses a default editor based on the class of the cells in that column. The default value for a cellEditor is null.
See Also:
Returns: the cellEditor property
/** * Returns the <code>TableCellEditor</code> used by the * <code>JTable</code> to edit values for this column.

public TableCellEditor getCellEditor() { return cellEditor; }
This method should not be used to set the widths of columns in the JTable, use setPreferredWidth instead. Like a layout manager in the AWT, the JTable adjusts a column's width automatically whenever the table itself changes size, or a column's preferred width is changed. Setting widths programmatically therefore has no long term effect.

This method sets this column's width to width. If width exceeds the minimum or maximum width, it is adjusted to the appropriate limiting value.

Params:
  • width – the new width
See Also:

Returns the width of the TableColumn. The default width is 75.
See Also:
Returns: the width property
/** * Returns the width of the <code>TableColumn</code>. The default width is * 75. * * @return the <code>width</code> property * @see #setWidth */

Sets this column's preferred width to preferredWidth. If preferredWidth exceeds the minimum or maximum width, it is adjusted to the appropriate limiting value.

For details on how the widths of columns in the JTable (and JTableHeader) are calculated from the preferredWidth, see the doLayout method in JTable.

Params:
  • preferredWidth – the new preferred width

Returns the preferred width of the TableColumn. The default preferred width is 75.
See Also:
Returns: the preferredWidth property
/** * Returns the preferred width of the <code>TableColumn</code>. * The default preferred width is 75. * * @return the <code>preferredWidth</code> property * @see #setPreferredWidth */
public int getPreferredWidth() { return preferredWidth; }
Sets the TableColumn's minimum width to minWidth, adjusting the new minimum width if necessary to ensure that 0 <= minWidth <= maxWidth. For example, if the minWidth argument is negative, this method sets the minWidth property to 0.

If the value of the width or preferredWidth property is less than the new minimum width, this method sets that property to the new minimum width.

Params:
  • minWidth – the new minimum width
See Also:
/** * Sets the <code>TableColumn</code>'s minimum width to * <code>minWidth</code>, * adjusting the new minimum width if necessary to ensure that * 0 &lt;= <code>minWidth</code> &lt;= <code>maxWidth</code>. * For example, if the <code>minWidth</code> argument is negative, * this method sets the <code>minWidth</code> property to 0. * * <p> * If the value of the * <code>width</code> or <code>preferredWidth</code> property * is less than the new minimum width, * this method sets that property to the new minimum width. * * @param minWidth the new minimum width * @see #getMinWidth * @see #setPreferredWidth * @see #setMaxWidth */

public int getMinWidth() { return minWidth; }
Sets the TableColumn's maximum width to maxWidth or, if maxWidth is less than the minimum width, to the minimum width.

If the value of the width or preferredWidth property is more than the new maximum width, this method sets that property to the new maximum width.

Params:
  • maxWidth – the new maximum width
See Also:

Returns the maximum width for the TableColumn. The TableColumn's width can't be made larger than this either by the user or programmatically. The default maxWidth is Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Returns true if the user is allowed to resize the TableColumn's width, false otherwise. You can change the width programmatically regardless of this setting. The default is true.
See Also:

Resizes the TableColumn to fit the width of its header cell. This method does nothing if the header renderer is null (the default case). Otherwise, it sets the minimum, maximum and preferred widths of this column to the widths of the minimum, maximum and preferred sizes of the Component delivered by the header renderer.

As of Java 2 platform v1.3, this method is not called by the TableColumn constructor. Previously this method was used by the TableColumn to create a default header renderer. As of Java 2 platform v1.3, the default header renderer is null. JTableHeader now provides its own shared default renderer, just as the JTable does for its cell renderers.
