Method Detail

adjustPreferredColumnWidths

public static Dimension adjustPreferredColumnWidths(JTable table)

Adjusts preferred column widths so that columns widths will be just wide enough to accomodate the content and the heading.

Code drawn from Swing Hacks, 2005.

Parameters:

table - JTable

Returns:

Dimension -- preferred table width and height

adjustPreferredColumnWidths

public static Dimension adjustPreferredColumnWidths(JTable table,
                                                    int visibleRows,
                                                    int veticalScrollBarWidth,
                                                    boolean setScrollableViewport)

Adjusts preferred column widths so that columns widths will be just wide enough to accomodate the content and the heading.

Caller can specify the number of visible rows. This will affect the preferred table height returned in the Dimension object. An average row height is calculated then multiplied by the number of visible rows. Passing the constant DISPLAY_ALL_ROWS will result in a preferred table height that includes all the rows.

If your table is likely to have a vertical scrollbar, the table width needs to account for it. Call the following methods on your JScrollPane instance to the get the scroll bar width.
getVerticalScrollBar().getMaximumSize().width

If true is passed for the setScrollableViewport argument, the setPreferredScrollableViewportSize method will be called on the passed JTable instance.

IMPORTANT: Call this method after the table model has been set.

Parameters:

table - JTable

veticalScrollBarWidth - int

setScrollableViewport - boolean

Returns:

Dimension -- preferred table width and height
