    Question Increasing the column size in JTabe

    hi,
    im trying to get data from my database and add it to the JTable directly...
    here is my code..


    import java.awt.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.table.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    class JTableDatabase
    {
    public static JFrame f;
    public static JButton b;

    public void callFrame()
    {
    b=new JButton("back");
    b.setBounds(400,600,100,25);
    b.addActionListener(new CallAction());

    Vector columnNames = new Vector();

    Vector data = new Vector();
    JPanel p=new JPanel();
    p.add(b);
    try
    {

    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbcdbc:leeSQL","sa","adminadmin");
    String str = "Select * from payroll.dbo.emp";
    Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(str);
    ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
    int columns = md.getColumnCount();
    for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++)
    {
    columnNames.addElement( md.getColumnName(i) );

    }


    while (rs.next())
    {

    Vector row = new Vector(columns);

    for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++)
    {
    row.addElement( rs.getObject(i) );
    }

    data.addElement( row );

    }
    rs.close();
    stmt.close();
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
    System.out.println(e);
    }

    JTable table = new JTable(data, columnNames);

    // to be changed wen u get error
    table = new JTable(data, columnNames)
    {
    public boolean isCellEditable(int rowIndex,int colIndex)
    {
    return false;
    }
    };
    TableColumn col;
    for (int i = 0; i < table.getColumnCount(); i++) {
    col = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
    //col.setMaxWidth(1000);

    }

    JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
    header.setBackground(Color.yellow);

    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
    p.add( scrollPane );

    f=new JFrame("REPORT");

    f.add(p);
    table.setFillsViewportHeight(false);
    // to be edited wen u get error.....

    //till this...

    f.setSize(2000,1500);
    f.setVisible(true);


    JTableDatabase jtdb=new JTableDatabase();

    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){

    adminfunc af=new adminfunc();
    af.launchframe();
    f.setVisible(false);
    }

    public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
    JTableDatabase j=new JTableDatabase();
    j.callFrame();
    }

    }

    Default Re: Increasing the column size in JTabe

    Please wrap your code in the code tags to maintain proper formatting.

    To change the column width, get the appropriate TableColumn (see the API for JTable) and call the appropriate method (set*Width)). From the image, it does not look as though your JTable is in a JScrollPane, which -if not - may be something you might wish to do
