How to highlight every other row in JTable with swingx 1.6

I need to highlight every other row in my JTable. With old version of swingx it could be done like this:

table.setHighlighters(new HighlighterPipeline(new Highlighter[] { new AlternateRowHighlighter(
            color1, color2,color3 }));

but now, with swingx 1.6, method setHighlighters() can't accept those parameters. It says "The method setHighlighters(Highlighter...) in the type JXTable is not applicable for the arguments (HighlighterPipeline)"

So how can i do it with new swingx?

Solution

  • To add stripping to your JXTable you need to use HighlighterFactory.
    Try:

    table.addHighlighter(HighlighterFactory.createSimpleStriping());

    or:

    table.addHighlighter(HighlighterFactory.createAlternateStriping(Color baseBackground, Color alternateBackground));

    Alternatively, if you want to add multiple highlighters, you can use:

    table.setHighlighters(Highlighter... highlighters);

    using always HighlighterFactory to create your highlighters.
