Question

I am trying to make a dynamic table that fetches data from a database and adds those data in separate rows..I want to add an extra cell with each row(dynamically) th

Answer 1

• cell cann't nest two JComponents because default JComponent/JLabel (returns by Renderer) haven't implemented any LayoutManager in API (in compare with JFrame/JDialog... or JPanel), have to set proper LayoutManager (Grid/BoxLayout) and important is to override PrederredSize, don't do that, road to troubles

• there are three ways

  1. add JPanel with two JButtons as Renderer and Editor too (search here for RollOver effect for JButtons Component as renderers components)

  2. use JCheckBox (built_in Boolean support for Renderer and Editor too)

  3. use two JRadioButtons in ButtonGroup

     • with JRadioButton as Renderer and Editor too

     • (better, nicer, easier) with JRadioButtons in ButtonGroup as Renderer and JComboBox as Editor
