I have the following code to instantiate a JTable: the table comes up with the right number of rows and columns, but there is no sign of the titles atop the columns.
public Panel1()
{
int nmbrRows;
setLayout(null);
setBackground(Color.magenta);
Vector colHdrs;
//create column headers
colHdrs = new Vector(10);
colHdrs.addElement(new String("Ticker"));
// more statements like the above to establish all col. titles
nmbrRows = 25;
DefaultTableModel tblModel = new DefaultTableModel(nmbrRows, colHdrs.size());
tblModel.setColumnIdentifiers(colHdrs);
scrTbl = new JTable(tblModel);
scrTbl.setBounds(25, 50, 950, 600);
scrTbl.setBackground(Color.gray);
scrTbl.setRowHeight(23);
add(scrTbl);
//rest of constructor
...
}
Comparing this to other table-making code, I don't see any missing steps, but something must be absent.
public table2() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(100, 100, 485, 218);
setTitle("jtable");
getContentPane().setLayout(null);
String data[][] = { { "Row1/1", "Row1/2", "Row1/3" },
{ "Row2/1", "Row2/2", "Row2/3" },
{ "Row3/1", "Row3/2", "Row3/3" },
{ "Row4/1", "Row4/2", "Row4/3" }, };
String header[] = { "Column 1", "Column 2", "Column 3" };
// Table
JTable table = new JTable(data,header);
// ScrollPane
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
scrollPane.setBounds(36, 37, 407, 79);
getContentPane().add(scrollPane);
}
}
try this!!
As said in previous answers the 'normal' way is to add it to a JScrollPane, but sometimes you don't want it to scroll (don't ask me when:)). Then you can add the TableHeader yourself. Like this:
JPanel tablePanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
JTable table = new JTable();
tablePanel.add(table, BorderLayout.CENTER);
tablePanel.add(table.getTableHeader(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
The main difference between this answer and the accepted answer is the use of setViewportView()
instead of add()
.
How to put JTable
in JScrollPane
using Eclipse IDE:
JScrollPane
container via Design tab.JScrollPane
to desired size (applies to Absolute Layout).JTable
component on top of JScrollPane
(Viewport area).In Structure > Components, table
should be a child of scrollPane
.
The generated code would be something like this:
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
...
JTable table = new JTable();
scrollPane.setViewportView(table);
