Disable single column drag & drop in JTable

Question

How to disconnect only one column from drag and drop in JTable? I want other columns to be dragged, but only the first column (with index 0). Thank.

Answer 1

You must create your own TableColumnModel (extend DefaultTableColumnModel ) and override moveColumn to only call super.moveColumn when the column is allowed to drag.

EDIT : Check out this post first .

Answer 2

Not really for you .... found in another blog

 yourJTable.getTableHeader().setReorderingAllowed(false) 

this will cause the whole table to not reorder the columns that I need. The source route is the correct route.
