Hello. i have a table in which i need to display the database contents. i got that part right but i need to add a checkbox to the last column on the java table. i don't know what i am doing wrong since i cant seem to get it to display. all it shows is it writes out the component in the table cell instead of showing the checkbox.here is the code

//librarys used
import java.awt.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;

public class JTableDatabase {
    
public static void main(String[] args) {
Vector columnNames = new Vector();
Vector data = new Vector();
JPanel p=new JPanel();
//connection to database
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:td");
String sql = "Select * from Table1";
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( sql );

ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
int columns = md.getColumnCount();
for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++) {
columnNames.addElement( md.getColumnName(i) );
}
while (rs.next()) {
Vector row = new Vector(columns);
for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++){
    
row.addElement( rs.getObject(i) );
}

data.addElement( row );
}
rs.close();
stmt.close();
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
}
JTable table = new JTable(data, columnNames);
TableColumn col;
for (int i = 0; i < table.getColumnCount(); i++) {
col = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
col.setMaxWidth(250);
}
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
p.add( scrollPane );
JFrame f=new JFrame();
f.add(p);
f.setSize(600,400);
f.setVisible(true);
}
}

You need, at the very least, a custom TableModel returning column type Boolean to get a checkbox in a column

do you perhaps have a framework of the code for me for the custom table model. so i can get an idea since i cant seem to get it right because i am using vectors

[CasiOo]

You will need to set the cellRenderer for the column. When you do this you will be able to show a JComboBox

i need to add a checkbox to the last column on the java table.

Oh god I can never read lines like these again without laughing because of The Daily WTF.....
It makes me think of this quote

Because on ‘big data’ procession you should to avoid creation of many objects in the Java!

Actually you don't even need a custom TableModel. Fit the following in your own class and run it

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Object[] columnNameArray = { "column0", "column1", "column2" };

		Object[][] dataArray = {
				{ Boolean.FALSE, "string1a", "string2a" },
				{ Boolean.FALSE, "string1b", "string2b" },
				{ Boolean.FALSE, "string1c", "string2c" },
				{ Boolean.FALSE, "string1d", "string2d" },
			};

		final MyJTable myJTable = new MyJTable(dataArray, columnNameArray);

		JPanel jPanel = new JPanel();
		jPanel.add(new JScrollPane(myJTable));

		final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
		frame.getContentPane().add(jPanel);
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
		frame.setLocation(300, 200);
		frame.pack();
		frame.setVisible(true);
	}

Hello. i have created a default table model like you said i should do. I am now having a problem populatint the table with data from the database.
i managed to get and display the column names but the roes i cant seem to get right could you please tell me what i am doing wrong.

how can i do it such that it is not hard coded i want it to come straight from database

[pbl]

Would be easier with a TableModel
When you have your rows on N columns from the database
have the getNbColumns() method to return N+1
have an array of boolean[NB_ROWS]
have the getObjectAt(int row, int col) to return the boolean[row] if col == 0
else return your actual database element at ]row,col-1]

A lot complicated for nothing

Take that one
http://www.dreaminco...snippet6437.htm

just make sure to add a column to the number of columns and an array of boolean for your first column

i know i must be irritating you but i am new to this and was wondering if you could tell me where exactly to put the boolean array (and how to create it)in the model im proving which is implemented from the snap you gave me the link to.and can you tell me if i added the column correctly

hey thank you. but when i run it for some odd reason it just writes the word false in the block instead of actually displaying it. any reason y that could happen since the code you gave me is fine.

[pbl]

You will need a CellRenderer for that column
A Boolean toString() method returns "true" or "false"

hello. i was wondering if you could perhaps help me with the cell renderer for the column and the boolean to string method since i cannot seem to get it right in my program
