Question

I have a jtable.

Some of the cells contain very long strings and trying to scroll left and right through it is difficult. My question is whether it is possible to s

Answer 1

As shown here, the JOptionPane factory methods will display the Object passed in the message parameter. If that message is a one column JTable, you can recycle any custom renderers and editors that were applied to the original table.

In outline,

• Add a ListSelectionListener to your table and get the selectedRow.

• Iterate through the table's model and construct a newModel whose rows are the columns of the selectedRow.

• Create a JTable newTable = new JTable(newModel).

• Apply any non-default renderers and editors.

• Pass a new JScrollPane(newTable) as the message parameter to your chosen JOptionPane method.

Starting from this example, the following listener displays the dialog pictured.

table.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
    @Override
    public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
        int selectedRow = table.convertRowIndexToModel(table.getSelectedRow());
        if (selectedRow > -1) {
            DefaultTableModel newModel = new DefaultTableModel();
            String rowName = "Row: " + selectedRow;
            newModel.setColumnIdentifiers(new Object[]{rowName});
            for (int i = 0; i < model.getColumnCount(); i++) {
                newModel.addRow(new Object[]{model.getValueAt(selectedRow, i)});
            }
            JTable newTable = new JTable(newModel) {
                @Override
                public Dimension getPreferredScrollableViewportSize() {
                    return new Dimension(140, 240);
                }
            };
            // Apply any custom renderers and editors
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f, new JScrollPane(newTable),
                rowName, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
        }
    }
});
