Re: Cell renderer/editor in Netbeans?

Hi people, I couldnt make cell renderer specification for JTable in Netbeans? How can I do? If not in Netbeans, should I better use Eclipse or something? What do you suggest?
Thanks..

I'd like to bump this question back up.  I've tried what is suggested but I'm not sure where to go after I click the renderer.





I am trying to implement some custom cell rendering in a JTable that is inside a JDialog.  I am using the NetBeans IDE version 6.5 to drag the components in.  I'm using the editor to write my own cell renderer and then programatically apply it to the NetBeans-created table, but the table doesn't seem to call the renderer once the application has been loaded.

The screenshots illustrate the suggestion above indicating to use the GUI for cell rendering purposes.  Sorry the screenshots might be conflicting in that sense, as one says "<User Code>" and the other does not.   The message "Custom Editing of this Property is not supported." only shows when clicking "Component Chooser" from the render options).  Switching to user code didn't fix this issue, and I'm not sure how to implement it otherwise. (code below)

This is not the first time I've implemented a cell renderer programatically, but it is the first time I've attempted it through the IDE.  I'm willing to accept the mistake could be something I'm doing.

Also note that I'm not even getting my println()'s.  This suggesting that the render isn't getting called at all when I implement it through code.

Here's is a code snippet of what I've implemented:
[code]
    myTable.setDefaultRenderer(String.class, new MyCellRenderer());
[/code]


[code]
    public class MyCellRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer {
        public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object color,
                boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
           
            this.setForeground(Color.RED);
            this.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
            this.setText("BREAK THIS THING!");
            System.out.println("HERE");
            return this;
        }
    }
[/code]
