Selecting multiple cells in JTable

[McBugzz]

Hi,

Is there a way to have multiple, non adjacent cells selected in JTable?

I know there's a method JTable.setCellSelectionEnabled(boolean), but it doesn't help much because if the cell selection is "enabled", then the selected cells are those that are on the intersection of the selected rows and columns. E.g. you want to select A1 and C5, and as a result you get A1, A5, C1, and C5. Not what you would expect.

Thanx in advance

Try

table.setSelectionModel(ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);

Not sure if a JTable supports this mode of selection, however.

No, that has nothing to do with the problem I've described.

Mmm. But you asked how to have separate areas (cells) of selection in the table. This involves a selection model. The one I specified is the only one I know if which might do this. Simply enabling selection merely activates / deactivates selectability. Setting the selection model configures how selection actually works.

However, if you actually tried it, and it doesn't work, then fair enough.
