Varying Table column width !

[Shivaji Bhosale]

I am creating a table. Individual Column widths are varying. So is there anyway
when row is getting displayed column with is adjusted automatically for changing width?
waiting impatiently ...

You need to override getColumnWidth. Here's how I did it. Whenever I call fireTableDataChanged() I make a call to setColumnWidths():

    public void setColumnWidths() {
        for (int i = 0; i < getColumnModel().getColumnCount(); i ++) {
            TableColumn column = this.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
            column.setPreferredWidth(getColumnWidth(i));
        }
    }
public int getColumnWidth(int column) {
        
        if (column == 0) {
            return 36;
        }
        if (column == 1) {
            return 500;
        }
        return 100;
    }

If you want the table to fit its contents you can put some code like this in your table:

                    int textWidth = (this.getFontMetrics(this.getFont()).stringWidth((String)this.getValueAt(row, column)) + 5);
