Handling hyperlinks and standard text in a table cell

[itsmegb]

Hi,

I have a Jtable with one column that displays text that sometimes include hyperlinks, for example:

This cell contains a link to www .google. com

What i would like would for the hyperlink to be represnted as a hyperlink and be clickable to open in a browser, but the standard text to remain unchanged.

So far i have only found examples that make the entire cell a hyperlink, which isn't quite what i want.

If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated. If it makes any difference, the app only has to run on a windows machine.

Thanks in advance for any help!

using JEditorPane?

read JEditorPane (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0)

mtyoung alluded to a possible solution. If you make the cell contents a JEditorPane, you can set the kit type to "text/html", which will present hyperlinks properly.

Caveat: JEditorPane does not actually handle hyperlink clicks. You have to add handlers for that yourself. Building a fully operational browser around JEditorPane requires a *LOT* of code.
