I have a custom cell renderer for a cell to do a word wrap so more content can be read. Here is the code:
import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Component; import java.awt.Insets; import javax.swing.JTable; import javax.swing.JTextArea; import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer; public class TextWrapCellRenderer extends JTextArea implements TableCellRenderer { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; public TextWrapCellRenderer() { setLineWrap(true); setWrapStyleWord(true); setMargin(new Insets(0, 5, 0, 5)); setSelectionColor(Color.GREEN); } public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) { setText((String)value); setSize(table.getColumnModel().getColumn(column).getWidth(),getPreferredSize().height); setSelectionColor(Color.GREEN); return this; } }
Update: The cell renderer is used properly but when the user selects a row in the JTable, then it only shows the highlighting for the non-custom rendered cells. The highlighting shows for all other cells for that row though. This leaves just one cell with a white background while the rest of the row has blue (in my case) as the highlighted background color.
