i want to change color of cell(row no and column no known)

hi

I want to change the color of entire row red.

I already use prepare renderer for this.

but the actual problem is

red color doesn't reflect in Jtable.

but if i check cell's color it shows red.

please help me in this regard.

i need solution urgently.

thanks

if there any other option to do the same then let me know the same.

call repaint and validate after applying the new color.

There's a problem, sometime, that the Lable object the default cell renderer uses doesn't actually paint a background - it's paired down for efficient drawing.

Could you post your code?

this is my code it actuaaly works only setforeground() method is not working here

public class MyTableEstimatedRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer

{

public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int rowno,int colno)

{

Component cell=null;

System.out.println("cell before"+cell);

cell =super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table,value,isSelected,hasFocus,rowno,colno);

cell.setForeground(Color.red);

return cell;

}

}

and i call renderer like this:

//priceTable is object of Jtable

Component c = priceTable.prepareRenderer(renderer,rowno,colno);

}

}

i also try this way to call renderer but the problem here is it doesn't call preparerenderer method here.

whatever i write in prepare renderer it doesn't execute not even a print method.

Register your renderer with table.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new MyTableEstimatedRenderer());or what every object you want your renderer associated with.I tested your code with this line, and it was red.

post all the code plzbtw, have you tested the example I previously posted ?

# 10
thanks ivannedr;may be ur suggestion works as i see row red but the new problem arise that system hangs after i run the code.i write ur suggestion from where i call renderer.priceTable.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new MyTableEstimatedRenderer());is it write

# 11
is there any other optionin the following line for Object.classpriceTable.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new MyTableEstimatedRenderer());what is the object.class here?
