Hello There,

I have two question about the JTable in Java:

1. How can i set a column width? I want to have one column widder than the other and not editable at runtime.

2. How can i have multiple lines (block of data/small paragraph) in one cell? because whenver i write a 3 new lines of data in a cell the JTable converts it cont. line.

Please Help!!

Here there is a JTable where 3 colums are being resized

TableColumn column1 = null;
               for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
                   column1 = table1.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
                   if (i == 0) {
                       column1.setPreferredWidth(20);
                   } else {
                        if (i == 1){
                             column1.setPreferredWidth(160);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                             column1.setPreferredWidth(80);
                        }
                   }
               }
