Disable a single column dragging in JTable

Question

How should I disable just a single column from dragging in JTable? I want to allow other columns from dragging but just the first column (indexed at 0). Thanks.

Answer 1

You should be able to create your own TableColumnModel (extend DefaultTableColumnModel) and to override moveColumn to only call super.moveColumn when the column is allowed to be dragged.

EDIT: Have a look at this post first.

Answer 2

Not quite on point for you ....found on another blog

yourJTable.getTableHeader().setReorderingAllowed(false)

this gets the entire table not to reorder columns which is what I needed. Exploring the Override is the correct route
