15.4 Selecting Table Entries
All this, and all we can do is render and edit data in a table. "What about selecting data?" you ask. Yes, we can do that, too. And, as you might expect, the ListSelectionModel (discussed in Chapter 7) drives us through these selections. Unlike most of the other components, however, the two-dimensional JTable has two selection models, one for rows and one for columns.
15.5 Rendering Cells
You can build your own renderers for the cells in your table. By default, you get renderers for Boolean types (JCheckBox for display and editing), ImageIcon types, Number types (right-justified JTextField), and Object types (JTextField). However, you can specify a particular renderer for a class type or for a particular column, or even for a particular cell.
