JTable single column selection

Question

I have a JTable, but I want to only select one column at a time.

I have seen ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION etc., but that is to only select one row at a time. I want something similar to select one column, but multiple cells in the column.

Any ideas?

Use:

table.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION); table.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);

Thanks, but maybe I wasn't clear. I don't want to be able to select more than one column So multiple cells, but not from more than one column

Do you want to select complete columns or selected cells in a single column?

selected cells in a single column So if the user was to then select a cell in a different column the selection model would remove all selections in the first column and start selecting cells from the new column

Due to the fact that you want a to select a subset of column cells rather than a full column you will have to implement a (hack-ish) ListCellRenderer to restrict the selected columns. See How to Write a List Selection Listener

Use:

table.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION); table.setColumnSelectionAllowed(true); table.setRowSelectionAllowed(false);

This should be the correct answer.
