How to prevent resizing columns in a JTable
To prevent resizing columns, use the method setResizingAllowed(). Here, we will set setResizingAllowed() to false for table header to disallow resizing of columns from header −
table.getTableHeader().setResizingAllowed(false);
Let us first see an example wherein we can easily resize columns in a table by resizing the table column header −
Example
package my;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
public class SwingDemo {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel();
JTable table = new JTable(tableModel);
tableModel.addColumn("Language/ Technology");
tableModel.addColumn("Text Tutorial");
tableModel.addColumn("Video Tutorial");
tableModel.addColumn("Views");
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "F#", "Yes", "No", "7890"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Blockchain", "Yes", "No", "10600"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "SharePoint", "Yes", "Yes", "4900"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "AWS", "No", "Yes", "8900"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Python", "Yes", "No", "6789"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Scala", "Yes", "No", "3400"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Swift", "No", "Yes", "9676"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "C#", "Yes", "Yes", "1300"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "NodeJS", "No", "Yes", "2350"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "MVC", "Yes", "No", "1500"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "ASP.NET", "Yes", "Yes", "3400"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Java", "Yes", "No", "9686"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "jQuery", "Yes", "Yes", "4500"});
table.setBackground(Color.white);
table.setForeground(Color.black);
Font font = new Font("Verdana", Font.PLAIN, 12);
table.setFont(font);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(600, 400);
frame.add(new JScrollPane(table));
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}The output is as follows displaying that we successfully resized a column “Text Tutorial” to give it a different size than the other columns. We resized the column header −
Output
The following is an example wherein we are preventing users to resize columns. We will set FALSE to setResizingAllowed() method −
Example
package my;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
public class SwingDemo {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel();
JTable table = new JTable(tableModel);
tableModel.addColumn("Language/ Technology");
tableModel.addColumn("Text Tutorial");
tableModel.addColumn("Video Tutorial");
tableModel.addColumn("Views");
table.getTableHeader().setResizingAllowed(false);
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "F#", "Yes", "No", "7890"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Blockchain", "Yes", "No", "10600"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "SharePoint", "Yes", "Yes", "4900"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "AWS", "No", "Yes", "8900"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Python", "Yes", "No", "6789"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Scala", "Yes", "No", "3400"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Swift", "No", "Yes", "9676"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "C#", "Yes", "Yes", "1300"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "NodeJS", "No", "Yes", "2350"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "MVC", "Yes", "No", "1500"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "ASP.NET", "Yes", "Yes", "3400"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Java", "Yes", "No", "9686"});
tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "jQuery", "Yes", "Yes", "4500"});
table.setBackground(Color.white);
table.setForeground(Color.black);
Font font = new Font("Verdana", Font.PLAIN, 12);
table.setFont(font);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(600, 400);
frame.add(new JScrollPane(table));
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}The output is as follows displaying the default size for all the columns and we cannot resize them since we have set the table resize to FALSE −
