Message:

Selection inside of JTables

Posted by Patrick Meeks on February 12, 2002 at 6:28 PM

I'm trying to have a table in which I'd select a a single value from one of two rows for a series of columns. I.e., I'd select row1 columns 1,2,4 and row2 cols 3,5.

However, due to the limitations of the selection models inside of the JTable, I can't b/c it only sees things in terms of columns and rows independantly. Has anyone tried writing custom selection Models for JTables? I am asking b/c I didn't know how far back I'd have to go - I am thinking I'll have to write a custom JTable to handle the displaying of selected cells.

Anyone had any luck w/ this?
