JdbTable select column

[Zvonko]

Hi!

Could someone be so kind and explain (perhaps on example) how to achieve
that when a user click column header on jdbTable, I paint that column
background yellow and select it. And when user clicks another column the
same thing should happen, and deselect the first column and paint deselected
columns background in white and selected yellow.

Thanks
Zvonko

I'm not sure if there's a listener for clicking on a column header, but
you can customize the painting using a ColumnPaintListener. Here's code
for one I use that colours a row yellow based on the content of the row:

private ColumnPaintListener columnPaintListener = new ColumnPaintAdapter() {
public void painting(DataSet dataSet, Column column, int row, Variant value, CustomPaintSite paintSite) {
if (paintSite instanceof TableFastStringRenderer) {
Variant allocated = new Variant();
dataSet.getDisplayVariant(allocatedColumnOrdinal, row, allocated);

paintSite.setBackground(allocated.getAsBoolean() ? Color.WHITE : Color.YELLOW);
}
}
};

...

allocatedColumnOrdinal = eventsDataSet.getColumn("allocated").getOrdinal();
try {
for (int index = 0; index < eventsDataSet.getColumnCount(); index++) {
eventsDataSet.getColumn(index).addColumnPaintListener(columnPaintListener);
}
}
catch (TooManyListenersException ex) {
// Ignore exception.
}
