Adding a JTable to a layeredPane

Question

Can we add a JTable to a JLayeredPane in Java?

Answer 1

Pretty simple, use a JInternalFrame.

Create your table with the appropriate data. (Ex.)

public static void main(String args[]) {

JFrame f = new JFrame("JDesktopPane Sample");

JTable jt = new JTable();

f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

Container content = f.getContentPane();

JLayeredPane desktop = new JDesktopPane();

Object rowData[][] = { { "Row1-Column1", "Row1-Column2", "Row1-Column3"},
        { "Row2-Column1", "Row2-Column2", "Row2-Column3"} };

Object columnNames[] = { "Column One", "Column Two", "Column Three"};

JTable table = new JTable(rowData, columnNames);

desktop.setOpaque(false);
desktop.add(createLayer2(table),JLayeredPane.POPUP_LAYER);
content.add(desktop, BorderLayout.CENTER);
f.setSize(300, 200);
f.setVisible(true);

}

public static JInternalFrame createLayer2(JTable n) {

    return new SelfInternalFrame2(n);

  }

static class SelfInternalFrame2 extends JInternalFrame {

    public SelfInternalFrame2(JTable n) {

      getContentPane().add(n, BorderLayout.CENTER);

      setBounds(50, 50, 100, 100);

      setResizable(true);

      setClosable(true);

      setMaximizable(true);

      setIconifiable(true);

      setVisible(true);

    }

  }
