Thread Subject:

Changing cell color in uitable

Hi all,

I tried the following CellRenderer provided by Yair Altman:

[1] http://www.mathworks.de/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/150507

It provides a function to change the background color of one specific cell. Unfortunately, this is not exactly what I'm in need of. I use a uitable object and place checkboxes in each column. What I would need is a CellRenderer that marks the background of the checkbox element if I execute a function. So basically it should have the same functionality as in [1] but it should also work with checkbox elements. Can anybody help me with that?

Thanks,
g.

Checkboxes have their own renderers, and in general use the system controls or standard PLAF (Look-&-Feel) UI. If this is Chinese to you then it basically means "no it can't be done" - otherwise go right ahead and modify the PLAF UI or write your own Java checkbox class...
