Hello,
I have a JTable
whose associated TableModel
could be initially empty. Therefore, it currently shows a JTable
with its columns and no rows.
In order to fill this JTable
, I want the user to drag and drop elements from another component. The problem is that I would like to hint the user that he/she should drag elements to this table, with some message like "Drag xxx here to add a row".
I thought that I could achieve this by putting a panel over the JTable
, but I don't think it is possible with any java layout.
Does anyone know how to do this? Or should I stick to a CardLayout
to switch to/from the hint and the JTable?
Thanks a lot
