How to gray-out non-editable cell in jtable?

Question

I want to gray non-editable cell in JTable. I'm using such TableCellRenderer:

TableColumn column = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
column.setCellRenderer(new GrayableCheckboxCellRenderer());

public class GrayableCheckboxCellRenderer extends JCheckBox implements TableCellRenderer {
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
            boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int vRowIndex, int vColIndex) {           
            boolean editable = isEditable(vRowIndex, vColIndex);
        setBackground(editable ? UIManager.getColor("Label.background") : Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
        setSelected((Boolean) value);
                if (isSelected) {
                    // TODO: cell (and perhaps other cells) are selected, need to highlight it
                }
        return this;
    }
    // perfomance
    protected void firePropertyChange(String propertyName, Object oldValue, Object newValue) {}
    public void firePropertyChange(String propertyName, boolean oldValue, boolean newValue) {}
    public void revalidate() {}
    public void validate() {}
}

This works but with one annoying artefact: Initially "checkbox" is "left-arranged", when I press left mouse button it moves to "center-arranged" and when I release mouse button it moves back to "left-arranged".

How to avoid such annoying artefact and probably there are better simpler solution for my problem?

Return an instance of GrayableCheckboxCellRenderer in a TableCellEditor.

Addendum: Aesthetically, you may want to condition the renderer's and editor's colors based on the defaults provided by the current Look & Feel, for example:

Color hilite = UIManager.getColor("Table.selectionBackground");

There's a related example [here](https://sites.google.com/site/drjohnbmatthews/table). – trashgod Jul 11 '11 at 16:27
example works. We are using custom CellRenderer there. When some line in table is selected by user it should be highlighted (in all columns). But it is highlighted in all columns except those columns, that use custom CellRenderer and this is still very ugly... – Oleg Vazhnev Jul 11 '11 at 19:06
You may want to alter the UIManager defaults; more above. – trashgod Jul 11 '11 at 19:34

    }
}

+1 Good to know; I though a matching editor was the only way. — trashgod, Jul 12 '11 at 00:32

Just explicitly setting the alignment in the 'getTableCellRendererComponent()' method solves the problem. Add the below line before returning from the method.

 setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
