I want to make 25 JTables. I generate the table names by doing:
for(int i=0; i < 26; i++)
{
TableNames[i] = \"Table\" + i + \"\";
...
TableNames[i] = new JTable(model)
put inside the for loop i agree previous statement make error try this
for(i=0;i<TableNames.length();i++)
{
new JTable(TableName[i]);
}
Instead of an array, consider using a List<JTable>
or List<TableModel>
. Pass the name to the table's constructor or factory method. The example below uses the Component
's name, but a JComponent
's client property may be more versatile.
Update: The revised Java 8 example below illustrates how to add new tables dynamically.
