JTable

[Richard Larocque]

I've been trying to get a JTable to appear. Unfortunately only a blank screen appears. I have 6 records in my test database. When I checked my dataModel with getRowCount and getColumnCount, it does show my 6 records and my 6 columns. What am I missing?
Enclosed is a copy of my code.

  String[] columnNames = {};
  Vector rows = new Vector();

  public static void main (String[] args) {
    test frame = new test();
  }
  public test() {
    JTable custTbl;
    ResultSetMetaData headerItems;
    try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
      System.out.println("Error setting native LAF: " + e);
    }
    JFrame myframe = new JFrame("Test"); 
    content = myframe.getContentPane();
    // Avec Swing, toutes les operations sont fait sur le container.
    myframe.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {

Try adding your JTable to a JPanel and add the JPanel to the JScrollPane.

[Richard Larocque]

Added JTable to JPanel and then JPanel to JScrollPane. Exactly the same results.

If you want to get answers from the people that really know Swing, you should probably look in the Swing forum. I'm moving this thread there.

[jeremy hull]

Your table should be added directly to a JScrollPane.

[jeremy hull]

You did the scrollPane part right, did you try a default table model?

[Richard Larocque]

No,
I am trying to learn how to build my own Table model.
