Autoscrolling JTables
by Kwong
Had to deal with Java Swing for a school project and faced an issue with getting a JTable to autoscroll after adding an entry during runtime. After more than 3 hours of scouring the internets to no avail.. i put together a dirty hack that sorta works (well enough for me, I guess)
private synchronized void autoScroll() { javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { eventTable.scrollRectToVisible(eventTable.getCellRect( eventTable.getRowCount()-1, eventTable.getColumnCount(), true)); } }); }
where eventTable is the JTable constantly being updated at runtime. Basically call autoScroll() each time an update is done. Pretty sure there’s a better way to do this but what the hell, hope this helps other people who’s having a hard time with Swing/JTables.
Cheers.
