quick.dbtable
Class CellPropertiesModel

java.lang.Object
  quick.dbtable.CellPropertiesModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class CellPropertiesModel

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

CellPropertiesModel can be used to set the properties of each cell in the table.

  The properties which can be set are
  1) Font
  2) Background color
  3) Foreground Color
  4) Alignment

  Extend this class to create your own model
  For example
    if you want to set the Font of first row to Arial, implement the getFont() as below

   public Font getFont(int row, int col)
   {
      if( row == 0)
        return new Font(..);   //don't create the font everytime, create once in constructor & reuse it
      else
        return null;   //returning null will give the default color
   }

  if you want to set the background colors of columns alternatively to two colors the
   public Color getBackground(int row, int col)
   {
      if( col %2 == 0)
        return Color.blue;
      else
        return null;
   }
  if you want to set the Foreground colors of all the employees whose salary is greater than 10000
   public Color getForeground(int row, int col)
   {
      int sal = Integer.intValue((Integer)yourQuickTable.getTable().getValueAt(row, 1));
      if( sal > 10000)
        return Color.red;
      else
        return Color.black;
   }

    }

    }

    public Color getBackground(int row, int col)

  Example of creating a Cellproperties model
          CellPropertiesModel simpleCellModel = new CellPropertiesModel()
          {
             Color darkGreen = new Color(45,45,45);

             public Color getForeground(int row, int col)
             {
                  return darkGreen;
             }

             public int getAlignment(int row, int col)
             {
                if( col== 0 )
                  return SwingConstants.LEFT;
                else
                  return SwingConstants.RIGHT;
             }
          };
          yourQuicktable.setCellPropertiesModel(simpleCellModel);

Method Detail

getFont

public java.awt.Font getFont(int row,
                             int col)

return the font for this row & column if you don't want to set any font and if you want to set a default font for particular row, col, return null

getSelectionForeground

public java.awt.Color getSelectionForeground(int row,
                                             int col)

getAlignment

public int getAlignment(int row,
                        int col)

return the alignment for this row & column if you don't want to set any alignmnet or if you want to set the default alignmnet for particular row, col, return -1 use SwingConstants.LEFT, SwingConstants.CENTER, SwingConstants.RIGHT for alignment

getCellEditable

public int getCellEditable(int row,
                           int col)

By default, whether a cell is editable or not is decided by column.getReadOnly() or by dbTable.setEditable() method
But if you need to control the editable property of each cell, you can use this method. This overrides readonly & editable properties.
return 0, if you want the cell not to be editable
return 1, if you want the cell to be editable
return -1, if you want dbTable to handle the editable property based on column.getReadOnly() or by dbTable.setEditable()
