    <p>There are two parts of the problem (as I see it :-)</p> <p>Usability: inventing UI-interaction/elements is prone to confusing users. In no particular order:</p> <ul> <li>the column header title is meant to describe the content of the column, that content description is lost when in replacing it with an action description</li> <li>it's not immediately (for me, the dumbest <em>user</em> on earth :-) clear that the header cell has the function of a toggle button. Accidentally clicking it will loose all earlier content state in that column</li> </ul> <p>So even if interaction analysis comes out with a clear we-do-need/want-it, </p> <ul> <li>action only in-addition to the content</li> <li>use a widget that's clearer (e.g. a tri-state checkbox all-de-/selected, mixed content). Also, de-/selecting must both be possible from mixed content. On second thought, a checkbox probably isn't the best choice either, didn't dig further</li> <li>minimize the possibility to accidentally (just for me :-) change bulk state, (e.g. by a clear visual separation of an active area - the checkbox icon) from the "normal header" region.</li> </ul> <p>Technical aspects</p> <ul> <li>TableHeader is not designed for "live" components. Whatever is wanted has to be controlled by ourselves</li> <li>examples are around (e.g. JIDE grid supports adding components)</li> <li>fiddling with header tends to look unattractive because it's not trivial to change the renderer and at the same time keep the LAF provided appearance</li> </ul>
