Dear all,
i am having a JTable, in which a column of each row is having a checkbox field.
If the checkbox is checked then and then i should be able to modify the cells in that row, ...where the checkbox is.
I have created the table with AbstractTableModel of which the isCellEditable(int row, int col) method is overridden.
Whatever return value (true/false) gives, it reflects the perticular
cells becomes editable/non-editable respectively.
but at run time...(mean the table is created now) and now i want to make the cells editable/non-editable depending on the checkbox value...
how can i implement it.........
please suggest.........
thank you.........
following is the sample code from some tutorial...
