POJava Swing, Trying to replace boolean check-box in a JTable with an image-icon checkbox
text
Body
copied!<p>So I have a JTable with check-boxes. I would like to have the check-boxes contain one image when they are "checked" and another image when they are "unchecked" (i.e., display images instead of a checked or unchecked box). Is there a way to do this? I've tried fooling with the TableCellRenderer that returns a JLabel with an ImageIcon but it was not really very effective.</p> <p><strong>More specifically, when the box is checked or unchecked the right images are there, but when the user is changing the check-box state (while the mouse is down) the original checked/unchecked images appear</strong></p> <p>This is the TableCellRenderer I tried (I have also tried it with JPanels but this was ineffective as well</p> <pre><code>public class CrassusEventTableCellEyeRenderer extends JCheckBox implements TableCellRenderer { static Icon greyEye; static Icon blackEye; {//STATIC CODE BLOCK try { greyEye = new ImageIcon(ImageIO.read(new File("icons/shittyTest.png"))); blackEye = new ImageIcon(ImageIO.read(new File("icons/blackEye.png"))); } catch (IOException e) { greyEye = null; blackEye = null; } } public CrassusEventTableCellEyeRenderer(){ super(); this.addItemListener(new IsCheckedItemListener()); setIcon(greyEye); } //commented out code that I have tried in place of the IsCheckedItemListener /* @Override public void setSelected(boolean sel){ super.isSelected(); if(sel) setIcon(blackEye); else setIcon(greyEye); } */ public class IsCheckedItemListener implements ItemListener{ @Override public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) { if(isSelected()) setIcon(blackEye); else setIcon(greyEye); } } @Override public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) { System.out.println("value: "+value+", row: "+row+", column: "+column); if(value instanceof Boolean){ setSelected(((Boolean) value).booleanValue()); } return this; } } </code></pre>
