Hi everyone,
I am currently trying to use a JTextPane as a cell renderers for a JTable but it does not seem to work although the program compiles. I alsways get an error stating class cast exception saying that i must cast the editor component to JTextField instead of a JTextPane although i am using a JTextPane as a cell renderer.
This exeption gets thrown when i try to apply some font to the selected text in the JTextPane.
Below is a small compilable that i have done which compiles and throws the exception that i have mentioned about
Here is the compilable example
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import javax.swing.*;

import javax.swing.table.*;

}Why this exception is occurring i am not very sure and really hope someone can help me with this problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank You
