Using Column Model

The Column model stores the set of the column objects.

Here is the example of how to set/get the column model object of myTable object:

myTable.setTableColumnModel(myColumnModel);

ColumnModel myColumnModel = myTable.TableColumnModel();

Column object describes behavior and appearance of all cells in the column. You can set class of the cells in the column for additional flexibility.

Here is example how to set the class of the cells for first column in the column model:

Column column = (Column) table.getTableColumnModel().findColumn(0);

column.setColumnClass("java.lang.Integer");
