Use JTable rowFilter for highliting rows

Question

I am currenlty using the JTable rowFilter for filtering my rows. The filter hide lines which does not follow the configured pattern. I wish to know if it's possible to use the rowFilter for changing the color or other of the result? By example the line which follows the configured pattern are colored in red and other in white.

Thank you Sylvain

Answer 1

Nothing complicated. For String Instance , I would suggest to start with prepareRenderer . There you can set lots of parameters, as shown in RowFilter example here based on camickr's Table Row Rendering :-) Don't forget to set int modelRow = convertRowIndexToModel(row);

and my question about similair issue

Answer 2

For those approaches I would recommend using SwingX Libraries. Their JXTable can by default work with highlighter- and filterpipelines. The highlighter can also highlight by a given pattern.

Here an example from R.J. Lorimer

Answer 3

In order to change the appearance of a row you'd need to provide your own cell renderer which then could apply the same checks as your row filter.
