Is there a way in which I can prevent a user from dragging the columns in a JTable around?

Thanks there, but what class of member function is setDragEnabled(boolean flag)? Compiler gave me error message "setDragEnabled(boolean flag) is not found in class java.swing.JTable".

I installed the jdk1.4.0_01. The program was compiled successfully with the extra line code "mytable.setDragEnabled(false)", but the column in the table still could be moved around! If there is something else needed to be changed as well?

Thank you.

Finally I got it work with following code:

myJTable.getTableHeader().setReorderingAllowed(flase);


Thanks again

I'm surprised that works. I usually have trouble getting that pesky flase option to function properly. ;-)
