My project requires that a table be drawn as transparent to reveal an image underneath. When I override the function getColumnClass
in DefaultTableModel
, it seems like table.setOpaque(false)
no longer does anything. I need each cell to only draw images within, which works fine. Here is the table model:
JTable table = new JTable(model) {
@Override
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
//all cells false
return false;
}
@Override
public Class<?> getColumnClass(int column) {
return ImageIcon.class;
}
};
There is a small portion of the table visible while scrolling, but the moment the table updates when I move it around or click on it, it becomes opaque.
I have a simple goal, where i am to overlay a translucent image in a cell, over an image underneath the table, as if like a selection. The image would toggle off and on and is handled in this mouse adapter:
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
int row = table.rowAtPoint(e.getPoint());//get mouse-selected row
int col = table.columnAtPoint(e.getPoint());//get mouse-selected col
String string = row "|" col;
if(selectedCells.contains(string)){
//cell was already selected, deselect it
selectedCells.remove(string);
table.setValueAt(null, row, col);
System.out.println("Removed Cell " string);
} else {
//cell was not selected
selectedCells.add(string);
table.setValueAt(PrimaryWindow.selection, row, col);
System.out.println("Added Cell " string);
}
}
I paint the image underneath by overriding the panel the table is in, which looks like this:
JPanel background = new JPanel( new BorderLayout() )
{
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
g.drawImage(icon.getImage(), 0, 0, scale*32, scale*32, this);
}
};
And then add the table in above: background.add(table);
I do have this set:
DefaultTableCellRenderer renderer = (DefaultTableCellRenderer)table.getDefaultRenderer(Object.class);
renderer.setOpaque(false);
And this set:
table.setOpaque(false);
