Hi members,
Is anyone familiar with how to use the jTable in NetBeans, I'm new, and trying to add data to a Table (jTable1), but I'm not being successful, can anyone help, I went to ummm set custom code and then I got: jTable1.setModel( (Edit box where to write text) );, can anyone help me ? :)
This is a Swing issue, not an IDE issue. I moved your thread to the appropriate forum.
I would recommend reading the following:
How to Use Tables (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)
And highly recommend, at least when learning, to not rely on an IDE to develop your GUI - it could cause a lot more issues down the line than you may think.
Well, this statement is only applicable for some years ago. However today the GUI designer is very powerful and flexible, WindowBuilder for Eclipse is an example.Quote:

I am not denying a GUI builder can be useful, I am saying that one should have a concept of the components and code it builds, as having no knowledge of the underlying code it builds can end up wasting more time in the long run. Your mileage may vary of course.Quote:
