I'm sure that there is an answer somewhere for this, but everything i look for seems to be specific for an entire column.
what i have is a JTable. This JTable is used for user preferences. I want to have certain CELLS to have a JComboBox.
So in Column 1, row 1,row2,row3, and row 4 would all be just normal Text, but Column 1 Row 5 is a JComboBox with particular values. Thus far it's been all or nothing.
Override the getCellEditor() method of JTable. In the example below a comboBox editor is displayed in rows 0, 1, 2. All other rows use the default editor:
You sir are a fine Gentleman, and I wish you many happy days doing whatever it is you love to do.
