Is it possible to add buttons inside the JTable cell along with data? What I am trying to do is to create a table with columns which display data(number) from the database, and two buttons to increase/decrease the number inside the same cell.
|ID | Quantity|
|06| 2 [+][-] |
it would be something like above with [+][-] being buttons. So when I press [+], the number will change to 3 and 1 if pressing [-].
Yes, it is possible, although It won't be easy.
You have to write your own custom cell renderer and your own cell editor.
This is a sample I made in 5 minutes:
It is far from perfect, but shows the concept.
Here's the source code:
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.awt.Dimension;
public class CustomCell {
public static void main( String [] args ) {
Object [] columnNames = new Object[]{ "Id", "Quantity" };
Object [][] data = new Object[][]{ {"06", 1}, {"08", 2} };
JTable table = new JTable( data, columnNames ) {
public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer( int row, int column ) {
return new PlusMinusCellRenderer();
}
};
table.setRowHeight( 32 );
showFrame( table );
}
private static void showFrame( JTable table ) {
JFrame f = new JFrame("Custom Cell Renderer sample" );
f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
f.add( new JScrollPane( table ) );
f.pack();
f.setVisible( true );
}
}
class PlusMinusCellRenderer extends JPanel implements TableCellRenderer {
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
final JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
int row, int column) {
this.add( new JTextField( value.toString() ) );
this.add( new JButton("+"));
this.add( new JButton("-"));
return this;
}
}
Here's a thread that may be interesting and here.
