Q: How do you add a icon to a JTable

ok, this is a little involved. you need something to build your table model. i assume you have something called MyTableModel that extends AbstractTableModel

now, heres the code (its all in my main class):

public void setUpTableCells()

{

TableColumn col=null;

col=repairQTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(1);

col.setPreferredWidth(300);

lockRenderer mylockrenderer=new lockRenderer();

col.setCellRenderer(mylockrenderer);

}

class lockRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer

{

public lockRenderer()

{

super();

}

public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,Object locked,boolean isSelected,boolean hasFocus,int row, int column)

{

JLabel retLabel;

if(locked==null)//locked is a value passed to the function. it holds the value of a certain row,col in my table model

{

retLabel=new JLabel();

retLabel.setToolTipText("");

}

else

{

retLabel=new JLabel("",new ImageIcon("images/lockSmall.gif",""),JLabel.CENTER);

retLabel.setToolTipText("Locked by " + locked);

}

setBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,5,2,5,table.getBackground()));

return retLabel;

}

}

I hope that makes sense. it actually does work for me.
