Hello All,
I want to know how I can change the color of my cells when they gain focus. As at the moment when I click into one of my cells the border of that cell is yellow, and when I start typing in that cell the border then changes to black. I want it so that when I click into that cell it is black aswell.
How can I do this?
Thanks
Ben
Here is my code for my JTable

And here is my code for the scrollpane:

You need to create your own implementation of TableCellRenderer. Consider extending DefaultTableCellRenderer.
Does that help ?

Here is some code to make a simple JTable.
Could you show me where I should and how to create the Cell Renderer

Ok, lets start with the renderer. You need to create a new class like this :
class MyTableCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
Then you need to override getTableCellRendererComponent in your new class. Have a look at the API documentation for TableCellRenderer and the link I posted before. Have a go at writing the getTableCellRendererComponent method then post your code and we can discuss it.

Excellent stuff !
All you need to do know is to say,
if( isFocused )
setBorder( black border );
else
setBorder( normal border );
Like this :

I've made a few more changes here to improve readability, flexibility and performance.

let me know if it doesn't make sense.

Hello Don,
Thanks for your help so far.
How do I use that class in my code so that I get that color to work with my JTable?
Thanks
