Selecting a row in JTable

[Vijay Chandran]

Hi i have this problem,

When i select a row in my JTable, the full row is not getting highlighted as in MS-Excel.

Kindly provide your help.
I wrote the following code:

import java.awt.*; 
import javax.swing.*; 
import javax.swing.table.*; 
 
 public class table1 extends JFrame 
 { 
 // Variables declaration 
 private JTable jTable1; 
 private JScrollPane jScrollPane1; 
 private JPanel contentPane; 
 // End of variables declaration 
  
  
 public table1() 
 { 
 super(); 
  this.setVisible(true); 
 } 
 private void initializeComponent() 
 { 
 jTable1 = new JTable(); 
 jScrollPane1 = new JScrollPane(); 
 contentPane = (JPanel)this.getContentPane(); 
  
 
 jTable1.setModel(new DefaultTableModel(4, 4)); 
 
 jScrollPane1.setViewportView(jTable1); 
  
 contentPane.setLayout(null); 
 addComponent(contentPane, jScrollPane1, 58,65,301,207); 
  
 this.setTitle("table1 - extends JFrame"); 
 this.setLocation(new Point(0, 0)); 
 this.setSize(new Dimension(473, 539)); 
 } 
  
 
 private void addComponent(Container container,Component c,int x,int 
y,int width,int height) 
 { 
 c.setBounds(x,y,width,height); 
 container.add(c); 
 }

Hi, Thanks for the reply...

But there is a problem.If you select row 1 from column 1, it will select the first row.

But if you select row 1 from column 2, first row will be selected except that column. This should not happen.

When we welect row 200 from column 1, only row 200 should be selected. (Just like MS-Excel)

When we select row 200 from column 2, only that cell should be highlighted not the full row.

Kindly post your reply. This is required on an urgent basis.
Thanks, Vijay

Well, I'm lost.

selecting any cell, regardless of column, highlights the entire row.

but this is not like excel (Excel 2000, anyway) - to select the entire row
you need to click the row header.

from your description you would need to use a custom cellRenderer

Hi,
Thanks for your input.
I have solved the problem.
But one more problem has arised.
I select a row and it gets highlighted. After this i invoke a Find/Replace function.

When i click Find Next button without entering any data in Find text box, the cell selection toggles in all cells but the background color of the cells is not getting changed as in Excel

How to change that? Kindly reply
Thanks
