CustomTableCellRenderer

[joeyvitoro]

Hello, I'm trying to change the background color of a JTable cell based on what's in it. Specifically, if the cell is different than the cell above it I want it to be red. My code below compiles, but everything after the first change is red. So if I have a row that reads {1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2}, I would expect that the first 2 be red, but instead all 2's are red. Thanks in advance

class CustomTableCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {	
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) 
	{
		Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
		if(row>0 && (!(table.getModel().getValueAt(row, column).equals(table.getModel().getValueAt(row-1, column)))))
		{
		c.setBackground(Color.RED);
		}
		return c;
}
}

See the tutorial on renderers - specify an else to set the background when the condition is not met.

... and don't forget to check if the row is selected:

if (!isSelected)
    if (redCellCondition)
        c.setBackground( Color.RED );
    else
        c.setBackground( table.getBackground() );
