To put this short:
What is this about
I have a JTable with Model which displays data fetched from an SAP system. My Goal is in a specific column to display only a part of the data which is in the model. For example the row of the model has Object["a","b"] but the user is only supposed to see a.
So I read a lot of threads here on StackOverflow and a lot of tutorials on how to use custom tablecellrenderers and editors etc. but I am not able to fix my problem, which is that the cell where i registered the renderer will not be highlighted when selected. A possible solution is described HERE but this does not work for me.
Here is my custom Renderer:
public class SapChangeNumberCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer{
private static final long serialVersionUID = -2649719064483586819L;
private SapChangeNumberTable table;
private int valuesSize;
public final static String ASM_AMOUNT = LanguageServer.getString("71", "Baugruppen");
public SapChangeNumberCellRenderer(SapChangeNumberTable table) {
super();
this.table = table;
}
@Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(final JTable table, final Object value, final boolean isSelected,
final boolean hasFocus,
final int row, final int column) {
// components & Layout
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
JButton buttonDots = new JButton("...");
JLabel text = new JLabel();
List<String> values = (List<String>) value;
valuesSize = values.size();
if (valuesSize > 0) {
// set values
buttonDots.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(14, 14));
text.setText(values.get(0));
} else {
text.setText("");
}
if (valuesSize > 1) {
// button to open dialog only if we have more than 1 item
panel.add(buttonDots, BorderLayout.EAST);
}
panel.add(text, BorderLayout.WEST);
panel.setOpaque(true);
return panel;
}
@Override
public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent e) {
String toolTip = String.valueOf(valuesSize) + Initializer.SPACE + ASM_AMOUNT;
return toolTip;
}
public SapChangeNumberTable getTable() {
return table;
}
}
So as you can see depending on the list size of the values I manipulate the component which will be given back from the method. The setOpaque(true) method does somehow not achieve my goal.
Here is the according JTabel (note: BaseTable is just a wrapper for JTable with some goodies I need...nothing fancy here)
public class SapChangeNumberTable extends BaseTable {
/** the model */
private SapChangeNumberTableModel model = new SapChangeNumberTableModel();
/** parent frame */
private SapPanel parent = null;
public SapChangeNumberTable(SapPanel parent) {
this.parent = parent;
this.init();
}
/**
* init the table
*/
private void init() {
// set model (not filled yet)
this.setModel(model);
// set renderer
setRendererAndEditor();
// add search filter row, enabling sorting is included
this.addFilterSearchRowPanel();
// single selection
this.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);
// hide
this.hideColumns();
this.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COLUMNS);
}
/**
* sets the default table cell renderer
*/
private void setRendererAndEditor() {
getColumnModel().getColumn(convertColumnIndexToView(SapChangeNumberTableModel.COL_ID_SPM_ASM_NUMBER))
.setCellRenderer(new SapChangeNumberCellRenderer(this));
getColumnModel().getColumn(convertColumnIndexToView(SapChangeNumberTableModel.COL_ID_SPM_ASM_NUMBER))
.setCellEditor(new SapChangeNumberAsmRefTableCellEditor(this));
}
@Override
public void setStatusBarDataCount(boolean value) {
}
@Override
public void hideColumns() {
}
@Override
public int getColModelSortIndex() {
return 0;
}
@Override
public void load() {
}
@Override
public SapChangeNumberTableModel getModel() {
return model;
}
public boolean isChanging() {
return model.isFilling();
}
public SapFactoryChange getRow(int row) {
return model.getSapFactoryChange(row);
}
@Override
public void clear() {
model.clear();
}
@Override
public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer, int rowIndex, int vColIndex) {
Component comp = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, rowIndex, vColIndex);
if (vColIndex == SapChangeNumberTableModel.COL_ID_SPM_ASM_NUMBER) {
//what the hack to do here to manipulate the comp ? I can't add a JPanel to a plain Component
}
return comp;
}
}
In the table I tried some stuff with prepareRenderer but here I can't manipulate the data (values) and all other stuff I am doing in the custom renderer. Maybe I have a basic understanding problem of how to approach this. I am thankful for any hints !
