I have a frame with a simple table. I’ve created a custom table model; it contains data for the table rows and also contains data for the header labels. I can see the rows of data but no header information.

I’ve tried lots of different approaches but I can’t get the headers showing.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong as I’ve managed to get this working before without using matisse.

Chris,
For a JTable’s header to render you have to place the JTable inside of a JScrollPane. See if that does the trick.

Thanks, I tried this last night and it worked fine. I have one more question though. How do you limit the size of text fields in the properties window>

Thanks again,

Chris

Chris,
Do you mean how much text can be input, or how big the field physically is on the UI? If you meant the former, you need a document listener to cap it and likely issue a System beep when it’s full, for the latter you can set the min/max and preferred sizes

Hi,
I meant the former. Thanks I will try a document listener.
