How to make one entire column unselectable(JTable) in java? I am using Netbeans, JDBC Driver and MySQL.

         Hi!

Look at the TableColumnModel and the TableColumnModelListener
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Swing-JFC/Table-Column.htm
and the ListSelectionModel
and the ListCellRendererCompent
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Swing-JFC/CombineTableModelandColumModel.htm
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Swing-JFC/CatalogSwing-JFC.htm
Here is also an example on how to allow row,column or cell selections

Hope this helps.

I am using Netbeans and I don't some of the basics Java. I just started off with and have no time to study everything from scratch. I want to complete my course project as fast as possible. It's already due now.

I am doing a simple Multiplex Ticket Booking System.  I use the attached piece of code for obtaining selected row values into a Text Field. However this works without any error only if movie column is selected. I want to make sure that rows and cell values in other columns can't be selected by user and if he clicks any row with mouse, only data that should get selected should from the movie column.

private void movTableMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {                                      

       

    
  
           
int row = movTable.getSelectedRow();
int column = movTable.getSelectedColumn();

    Object a = movTable.getValueAt(row, column);
    
    Object b = movTable.getValueAt(row, column+1);
    
    Object c = movTable.getValueAt(row, column+2);
    
    Object d = movTable.getValueAt(row, column+3);
    
    
    
    
    movLab.setText(""+a);
    
    langLab.setText(""+b);
    
    stLab.setText(""+c);
    
    screenLab.setText(""+d);

This is my jTable

private JTable getJTable() {
    String[] colName = { "Name", "Email", "Contact No. 1", "Contact No. 2",
            "Group", "" };
    if (jTable == null) {
        jTable = new JTable() {
            public boolean isCellEditable(int nRow, int nCol) {
                return false;
            }
        };
    }
    DefaultTableModel contactTableModel = (DefaultTableModel) jTable
            .getModel();
    contactTableModel.setColumnIdentifiers(colName);
    jTable.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
    return jTable;
}
I will call this method to retrieve the data from database and put it into table model

public void setUpTableData() {
    DefaultTableModel tableModel = (DefaultTableModel) jTable.getModel();
    ArrayList<Contact> list = new ArrayList<Contact>();
    if (!con.equals(""))
        list = sql.getContactListsByGroup(con);
    else
        list = sql.getContactLists();
    for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
        String[] data = new String[7];

            data[0] = list.get(i).getName();
            data[1] = list.get(i).getEmail();
            data[2] = list.get(i).getPhone1();
            data[3] = list.get(i).getPhone2();
            data[4] = list.get(i).getGroup();
            data[5] = list.get(i).getId();

        tableModel.addRow(data);
    }
    jTable.setModel(tableModel);
}
Currently I was using this method to refresh the table after updating the table data. I will frist clear the table

DefaultTableModel tableModel = (DefaultTableModel) jTable.getModel();
tableModel.setRowCount(0);

Not what I asked but really helped me.
Thank you Friend

Thanx 4 axxepting.
(Just wondering what answer would have deserved an A grade...)
