publicsynchronized void addPropertyChangeListener (PropertyChangeListener listener)

Adds a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list.

Adds a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list. The listener is registered for all properties.

A PropertyChangeEvent will get fired in response to an explicit call to setFont, setBackground, or setForeground on the current component. Note that if the current component is inheriting its foreground, background, or font from its container, then no event will be fired in response to a change in the inherited property.
Parameters:
- listener - the listener to be added

protected TableCellRenderer createDefaultHeaderRenderer ()

As of Java 2 platform v1.3, this method is not called by the TableColumn constructor.

As of Java 2 platform v1.3, this method is not called by the TableColumn
constructor. Previously this method was used by the
TableColumn to create a default header renderer.
As of Java 2 platform v1.3, the default header renderer is null.
JTableHeader now provides its own shared default
renderer, just as the JTable does for its cell renderers.
Returns: the default header renderer
See Also: JTableHeader.createDefaultRenderer(),

public int getWidth ()

Returns the width of the TableColumn.

Returns the width of the TableColumn. The default width is
75.
Returns: the width property
See Also: TableColumn.setWidth(int),

publicsynchronized void removePropertyChangeListener (PropertyChangeListener listener)

Removes a PropertyChangeListener from the listener list.

Removes a PropertyChangeListener from the listener list.
The PropertyChangeListener to be removed was registered
for all properties.
Parameters:
- listener - the listener to be removed

public void setCellEditor (TableCellEditor cellEditor)

Sets the editor to used by when a cell in this column is edited.

public void setCellRenderer (TableCellRenderer cellRenderer)

Sets the TableCellRenderer used by JTable to draw individual values for this column.

Sets the TableCellRenderer used by JTable
to draw individual values for this column.
Parameters:
- cellRenderer - the new cellRenderer
See Also: TableColumn.getCellRenderer(),

public void setHeaderRenderer (TableCellRenderer headerRenderer)

Sets the TableCellRenderer used to draw the TableColumn's header to headerRenderer.

It is the header renderers responsibility to render the sorting indicator. If you are using sorting and specify a renderer your renderer must render the sorting indication.
Parameters:
- headerRenderer - the new headerRenderer
See Also: TableColumn.getHeaderRenderer(),

public void setHeaderValue (Object headerValue)

Sets the Object whose string representation will be used as the value for the headerRenderer.

Sets the Object whose string representation will be

TableColumn is created, the default headerValue
is null.
Parameters:
- headerValue - the new headerValue
See Also: TableColumn.getHeaderValue(),

public void setIdentifier (Object identifier)

Sets the TableColumn's identifier to anIdentifier.

Note: identifiers are not used by the JTable, they are purely a convenience for the external tagging and location of columns.
Parameters:
- identifier - an identifier for this column
See Also: TableColumn.getIdentifier(),

public void setMaxWidth (int maxWidth)

Sets the TableColumn's maximum width to maxWidth or, if maxWidth is less than the minimum width, to the minimum width.

If the value of the width or preferredWidth property is more than the new maximum width, this method sets that property to the new maximum width.
Parameters:
- maxWidth - the new maximum width
See Also: TableColumn.getMaxWidth(), TableColumn.setPreferredWidth(int), TableColumn.setMinWidth(int),

public void setMinWidth (int minWidth)

Sets the TableColumn's minimum width to minWidth, adjusting the new minimum width if necessary to ensure that 0 <= minWidth <= maxWidth.

Sets the TableColumn's minimum width to minWidth, adjusting the new minimum width if necessary to ensure that 0 <= minWidth <= maxWidth. For example, if the minWidth argument is negative, this method sets the minWidth property to 0.

If the value of the width or preferredWidth property is less than the new minimum width, this method sets that property to the new minimum width.
Parameters:
- minWidth - the new minimum width
See Also: TableColumn.getMinWidth(), TableColumn.setPreferredWidth(int), TableColumn.setMaxWidth(int),

public void setModelIndex (int modelIndex)

Sets the model index for this column.

Sets the model index for this column. The model index is the
index of the column in the model that will be displayed by this
TableColumn. As the TableColumn
is moved around in the view the model index remains constant.
Parameters:
- modelIndex - the new modelIndex

public void setPreferredWidth (int preferredWidth)

Sets this column's preferred width to preferredWidth.

Sets this column's preferred width to preferredWidth. If preferredWidth exceeds the minimum or maximum width, it is adjusted to the appropriate limiting value.

For details on how the widths of columns in the JTable (and JTableHeader) are calculated from the preferredWidth, see the doLayout method in JTable.
Parameters:
- preferredWidth - the new preferred width
See Also: TableColumn.getPreferredWidth(), JTable.doLayout(),

public void setResizable (boolean isResizable)

Sets whether this column can be resized.

public void setWidth (int width)

This method should not be used to set the widths of columns in the JTable, use setPreferredWidth instead.

This method should not be used to set the widths of columns in the JTable, use setPreferredWidth instead. Like a layout manager in the AWT, the JTable adjusts a column's width automatically whenever the table itself changes size, or a column's preferred width is changed. Setting widths programmatically therefore has no long term effect.

This method sets this column's width to width. If width exceeds the minimum or maximum width, it is adjusted to the appropriate limiting value.
Parameters:
- width - the new width
See Also: TableColumn.getWidth(), TableColumn.setMinWidth(int), TableColumn.setMaxWidth(int), TableColumn.setPreferredWidth(int), JTable.doLayout(),

public void sizeWidthToFit ()

Resizes the TableColumn to fit the width of its header cell.

Resizes the TableColumn to fit the width of its header cell.
This method does nothing if the header renderer is null
(the default case). Otherwise, it sets the minimum, maximum and preferred
widths of this column to the widths of the minimum, maximum and preferred
sizes of the Component delivered by the header renderer.
The transient "width" property of this TableColumn is also set to the
preferred width. Note this method is not used internally by the table
package.
See Also: TableColumn.setPreferredWidth(int),
