About JTable

[srs_grp]

Hi!!
I have created JTable with fixed no of rows and columns.Then depending upon some conditions I want to hide one column,but the methods removeColumn or setting maxWidth to 0 are not working.I am not getting any error.
How can I do this?

hi, i spend many sleeples nights trying to solve it i did it this way:
first create custom table model like this, and ascribe it to the table:

DefaultTableModel tableModel  = new DefaultTableModel(null,new String[]{"Column1", "Column2", "Column3"});

then to remove column from view you do

table.removeColumn(table.getColumnModel().getColumn(columnId));

where columnId is column number from table model
to bring it back

table.addColumn(new TableColumn(columnId));

you have to remember about:repaint() each time you add, remove column
always remove columns from the last one, because if you have columns 0,1,2,3 and remove column(0) the indexes are recount and you will have columns 0,1,2
use

table.convertColumnIndexToModel(table.getSelectedRow());

first if you want to read data
add, change, remove rows should be done on tableModel, not on the table directly
i guess there is many ways to do this, but i found only this one to work
its get a little bit more tricky if you want to sort the table too...

I think you have to call the revalidate method on your JTable, after removing or adding a column, to make it work. Its been a while, but I think that's the advice Ezzaral gave me when I asked a similar question before (I could be misquoting him; whatever advice he gave me worked).
