JCombo width in JTable

[fugu00]

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has had this prooblem before.
I successfully created a JTable with a JCombo used as the editor for one of its columns. Everything OK but it seems I cannot control the width of the Combo box. The combo shows a bunch of infos that are actually wider than the data that is going to be stored in the table cell which is essentially an ID. Ideally I would like the combo box to be much wider than the table column but it seems its maximum width is set by the column width.
I tried to play with the combo minimum maximum and preferredSize properties but with no success.

Any suggestions ?

You have to extend the MetalComboBoxUI, you need something like this:

	
class MyComboBoxUI extends MetalComboBoxUI {
..............
		protected ComboPopup createPopup() {
			return new MetalComboPopup(comboBox) {
				public void show() {
					Dimension popupSize = ((MyComboBox) comboBox).getPopupSize();
					//if (popupSize.width < getPopupWidth()) {
					//	popupSize.width = getPopupWidth();
					//}

					popupSize.setSize(popupSize.width, getPopupHeightForRowCount(comboBox.getMaximumRowCount()));
					Rectangle popupBounds = computePopupBounds(0, comboBox.getBounds().height, popupSize.width, popupSize.height);
					scroller.setMaximumSize(popupBounds.getSize());
					scroller.setPreferredSize(popupBounds.getSize());
					scroller.setMinimumSize(popupBounds.getSize());
					list.invalidate();

					int selectedIndex = comboBox.getSelectedIndex();
					if (selectedIndex == -1) {
						list.clearSelection();
					} else {
						list.setSelectedIndex(selectedIndex);
					}
					list.ensureIndexIsVisible(list.getSelectedIndex());
					setLightWeightPopupEnabled(comboBox.isLightWeightPopupEnabled());
					show(comboBox, popupBounds.x, popupBounds.y);
				}
			};
		}
}

or you can use the components TComboBox and SScrolledTable from
eva/3 Application Builder
