Jtable Cell colour

[§tudz]

Hi,

How do I add a certain colour to the background of an individual cell?

Thanks

To change the color of a selected cell you would want to call either setSelectionForeground(Color selectionForeground) or setSelectionBackground(Color selectionBackground). setGridColor(Color gridColor) is also pretty fun to use.

thanks, but how do I do this?

 import java.awt.*; 
 import java.awt.event.*;
 import javax.swing.*; 

 class G{
  public static void main(String[] args){

  
  JFrame jf = new JFrame("Inventory"); 
  Container c = jf.getContentPane();
  
  Object[] colnames = {"Title", "Author", "Isbn", "Price"};
 
  Object[][] data = {
   {"Weaveworld", "CliveBarker", "125457", new Double(9.56)}, 
   {"Watership Down", "Richard Adams", "898454", new Double(8.43)},
   {"The Guardian", "John Saul", "87987", new Double(10.98)},          
  }; 

  jf.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
   public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we){
    System.exit(0);
   }
  });

  JTable jt = new JTable(data, colnames);
  jt.setGridColor(Color.RED);
  jt.setSelectionBackground(Color.yellow);
  JScrollPane scrollableTable = new JScrollPane(jt); 
  c.add(scrollableTable);
  jf.setSize(500, 100);  
  jf.setVisible(true); 
  
 }
}

I have tried this, and all this has acheived is setting the whole row to yellow, when a cell in that row is selected.

I want to set a single cell colour to a set colour (ie yellow)

example:

if cell.value = 45 then make that cell yellow

Thanks
