How to add JTextArea in JTable - Swing

[phungho2000]

I'd like to know how to add TextArea to the table in the code below(any column). Thanks in advance.

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
public class TableWithTextArea extends JFrame
{
/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

JPanel pan = new JPanel();
DefaultTableModel defaultModel = new DefaultTableModel();
JTable table = new JTable(defaultModel);
JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane();
JTextArea ta = new JTextArea(20, 20);
JTextField tfField = new JTextField(10);
public TableWithTextArea()
{
setTableColumns();
table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COL UMNS);
// table.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(ta));
scroll.setViewportView(table);
this.getContentPane().add(scroll);
}
private void setTableColumns()
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
defaultModel.addColumn("Column 1");
defaultModel.addColumn("Column 2");
defaultModel.addColumn("Column 3");
defaultModel.addColumn("Column 4");
defaultModel.addColumn("Column 5");
defaultModel.addColumn("Column 6");
}
public static void main(String[] s)
{
TableWithTextArea twa = new TableWithTextArea();
twa.setLocation(300, 200);
twa.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE) ;
twa.pack();
twa.setVisible(true);
}
}

There is no DefaultCellEditor constructor that takes a JTextArea as a parameter. You may need to create your own cell editor overriding the AbstractCellEditor class and using it to incorporate a JTextArea. I'm no pro at this so I don't know if it actually will work, but I don't see why not.

Can anyone please give me an example in the code. I am stuck on this for about two days. I've searched everywhere but did not find any code sample for this. I've also try many difference methods but It seemed this is more than my knowledge. Please help.

If you google on the terms: JTextArea and AbstractCellEditor, you'll find some pretty helpful hits. Also try searching this forum and the forums.sun.com forums on the same terms for more useful hits.

Best of luck.
