How to track column selections in JTable?

[Strannik]

Is there any way to track column selections for JTable ?valueChanged event of ListSelectionListener interface is very usefull but I can't know whether column selection has changed for current row ...

In general I need to allow user to select rows only not single cells. So if somebody can help ...

You can just put a MouseListener on the table and get the selected row:

jTable1.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
{
   public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
   {
      jTable1_mouseClicked(e);
   }
});

private void jTable1_mouseClicked(MouseEvent me)
{
   if (me.getClickCount() > 1)  // single click
   {
      int row = jTable1.getSelectedRow();
   }
}

Create a new class that extends DefaultTableCellRenderer and override its getTableCellRendererComponent method,

class NoSelectionBorderCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
	public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(<parameters>) {
		Component comp = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(<parameters>);
		setBorder(noFocusBorder);
		return comp;
	}
}

then set it as the cell default renderer with

yourTable.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new NoSelectionBorderCellRenderer());

To select only a single row at a time, call

yourTable.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);

Hope this helps ;-)

Thanks a lot.
I'm novice in Java and even coudn't think that such an easy action as set "row selection only" mode could require additional processing ...
