how to add jcombobox to jtable column in netbeans

Question

I want to add jcombobox to jtable please someone explain me how could i do that in netbeans

Don't use NetBeans. Spend time learning how to write Java code yourself. Otherwise if you move to a different IDE then you will need to learn another IDE and the generated code may not be accepted by the other IDE. — camickr, Jul 20 '14 at 01:18
Why did you post an image from [the tutorials](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#combobox) and not take the time to try something — MadProgrammer, Jul 20 '14 at 03:00

Add a JComboBox by dragging and dropping outside the frame or panel.So that it will be added to OtherComponents in the Navigator View

enter image description here

Add whatever contents you want to add by double clicking the combobox from Navaigator View

Then rightclick on JTable and click TableContents

enter image description here

In the Dialog select Columns Tab(1) and select the column(2) you want to add the combobox to.

Then Click on the button near to the Editor[Ref screenshot (3)]

Then in the editor dialog Choose Custom Code from the dropdown(4)

Then put the following(5)

new DefaultCellEditor(jComboBox1)//jComboBox1 is the variable name of combobox

enter image description here

Then Click ok and close and make sure you import import javax.swing.DefaultCellEditor; or do a Ctrl+Shift+I to add the necessary imports

After that If you run and click on column 2 you'll get this output

enter image description here

This worked for me and I will Recommend it to all people who have the same problem — Humphrey, Dec 02 '17 at 10:22
