I'm using a JTable (specifically a JXTable) and when I hover over a cell I would like to present some sort of JPanel or Component (to show some graphical data using JFreeChart)
I know the JTable has this:
but that is obviously just a way to show a textual tooltip. Any ideas or solutions to do this?
You can show a pop up on mouse over and you can customize the pop up window however you want. I hope the below piece of code would help.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Sort Records based on Time");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Object rows[][] = { { "Loganathan Mohanraj", 31 },
{ "Renuka Loganathan", 26 } };
String columns[] = { "Name", "Age" };
final JPopupMenu popUp = new JPopupMenu("Customized Tool Tip");
final JTable table = new JTable(new DefaultTableModel(rows, columns));
table.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter() {
@Override
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
int row = table.rowAtPoint(e.getPoint());
int column = table.columnAtPoint(e.getPoint());
Rectangle bounds = table.getCellRect(row, column, true);
popUp.setVisible(false);
popUp.removeAll();
popUp.add(new JTextField("Mouse Position - Row : " + row + ", Column : " + column));
popUp.show(table, bounds.x, bounds.y + bounds.height);
popUp.setVisible(true);
}
});
JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(table);
frame.add(pane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(300, 150);
frame.setVisible(true);
