How can i prevent the possibility to select a particular column in JTable?

Question

I want to disable the possibility to select particular columns in a Jtable.

It's easy to disable the selection of certain rows with using the DefaultListSelectionModel class

But I don't know how to do that for columns.

Can any one give me a clue to implement this feature ?

Answer 1

You can override the method isCellEditable and implement as you want for example,

try this :

DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel() {
   @Override
   public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
       //Only the column nb 2
       return column == 2; 
   }
};
table.setModel(tableModel);
