Does JIDE provide a JTable like component?

[rohan26may]

I need a fancy looking JTable component. Does Jide provide such component or a remedy so that I can make my JTable look Fancy?
Attached JTable.bmp is how my JTable looks currently and row.bmp is how I want my JTable rows to look like so that It's better readable to the customer.

Can you please suggest me a solution?

The row.bmp file doesn't come through. Could you try to attach it again?

Thanks,

I have attached the files again. Please find them.

You can pretty much do all those using CellStyle feature provided in JIDE Grids. Please refer to demos and developer guide for more information.

Hey,
Thanks a lot for help.
Please tell me one thing. I saw the shaded CellStyles. But I want to confirm from you that can we have shaded colors of my own choice or there are limitations (like only few styles)??

If I can use colors of my choice then I'm interested in buying your product.

Regards,

Please refer to GradientStyleTableDemo.java under examples\G17. StyleTable. It has the complete source code to show you how to do it (by extending cell style feature). You have complete control over the colors. Note this demo shows how to use a gradient. If you just need a plain color, CellStyle has that supported already so you don't need to extend CellStyle as GradientStyleTableDemo did.

Thanks,

Hi,

I need to demo the cellstyle effects to my client before I purchase the product. So can you somehow give me some limited jars required for this feature so that I can build a POC for the same and demo it to the client?

If you can't, please sugget me any other alternative.

Regards,
Rohan

Do you know we have full functioned eval package that you can download and build your demo?

Hi,

I tried referring GradientStyleTableDemo.java file but I couldn't successfully create the table that I wanted.
Please see attached. That is what I want to achieve. Can you please shed some light on how can I get only that. (Possibly provide me the exact code )
The file has lot of code that I dont understand what its doing. Kindly assist.

Regards.

We have radio button to change the _pattern field to different values. But in your code, it is always 0.That's the reason not working. Note isCellStyleEnabled method. It always return false in your code. You can manually change the _pattern value to 0 to 4 and then compile and run to see the difference.

Thanks,
