I have a JTable where one column displays values in the following format:
423545(50),[7568787(50)],53654656,2021947(50),[021947],2021947(50),[8021947(50)]
I am wondering if it is possible to display the values within square brackets in RED?
I have been googling around for the last few days and have found several examples showing how to set the 'background' of a cell but not really how to change the font of a cell especially not a specific part of the text.
public class myTableCellRenderer
extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
Object value,
boolean isSelected,
boolean hasFocus,
int row,
int column) {
Component c =
super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value,
isSelected, hasFocus,
row, column);
if (column == 3) {
c.setForeground(Color.YELLOW);
c.setBackground(Color.RED);
}
return c;
}
Is it really possible to change part of the text to be a different color (i.e. the text that is within the square brackets).
The text i showed as an example is the actual text shown in the table cell (the comma separators are not representing columns). The text displayed in the cell is a comma separated string that i display on the table in column 3.
As an example the table could look like this
product_id |product_name| invoice_numbers
12 | Books | 423545(50),[7568787(50)],53654656,2021947(50),[021947],2021947(50),[8021947(50)]
323 | Videos | 423545(50),[7568787(50)],53654656,2021947(50),[021947],2021947(50),[8021947(50)]
4434 | Music | 423545(50),[7568787(50)],53654656,2021947(50),[021947],2021947(50),[8021947(50)]

We can change the background and foreground color for each column of a JTable by customizing the DefaultTableCellRenderer class and it has only one method getTableCellRendererComponent () to implement it. Java Program to Change Color of Column in JTable:
To set the font and color of JTextArea we can use the setFont () and setForeground () methods of the JTextArea. To create a font we must define the font name, the font style and its size. For the colors we can uses the constant color values defined by the Color class.
Last updated: June 6, 2016 Here are a few examples of how to set the Font on Java Swing components, including JTextArea, JLabel, and JList: You can use code like the following Scala code to easily test different fonts. Modify however you need to, but it displays a JFrame with a JTextArea, and you can change the font on it:
A JTable is a subclass of JComponent class for displaying complex data structures. A JTable component can follow the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern for displaying the data in rows and columns. A JTable can generate TableModelListener, TableColumnModelListener, ListSelectionListener, CellEditorListener, RowSorterListener interfaces.
You must use a Cell renderer combined with HTML.
Here is a small demo example:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.util.Vector;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
import javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableCellRenderer;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
public class TestTable2 {
class MyCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
@Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
Component tableCellRendererComponent = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
if (value instanceof String) {
String string = (String) value;
if (string.indexOf('[') > -1) {
setText(getHTML(string));
}
}
return tableCellRendererComponent;
}
private String getHTML(String string) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("<html>");
int index = 0;
while (index < string.length()) {
int next = string.indexOf('[', index);
if (next > -1) {
int end = string.indexOf(']', next);
if (end > -1) {
next++;
sb.append(string.substring(index, next));
sb.append("<span style=\"color: red;\">");
sb.append(string.substring(next, end));
sb.append("</span>");
index = end;
} else {
break;
}
} else {
break;
}
}
sb.append(string.substring(index, string.length()));
sb.append("</html>");
return sb.toString();
}
}
protected void initUI() {
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel();
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
model.addColumn("Col-" + (i + 1));
}
for (int i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
Vector<Object> row = new Vector<Object>();
for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
row.add("423545(50),[7568787(50)],53654656,2021947(50),[021947],2021947(50),[8021947(50)]");
}
model.addRow(row);
}
JTable table = new JTable(model);
table.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new MyCellRenderer());
JFrame frame = new JFrame(TestTable2.class.getSimpleName());
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane(table);
frame.add(scrollpane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException,
UnsupportedLookAndFeelException {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
new TestTable2().initUI();
}
});
}
}
And the result:
