Question

I am creating one form which contain table and some buttons.

A picture is worth a thousand words:

How can I get the checkbox and comboboxes into the table?

I am using NetBeans. I tried using drag and drop but didn’t work.

Here is my form code.

public class HttpOutput extends javax.swing.JPanel {
    HttpElements current_Http_EleObject;
    /**
     * Creates new form HttpOutput
     */
    public HttpOutput(HttpElements httpelements) {
        initComponents();
        current_Http_EleObject=httpelements;
         TableColumn includeColumn = jTable1.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
            includeColumn.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(new JCheckBox()));
    }

Here is combo cell insets replicate demo:

      }
    };
    JTable table = new JTable(model);
    table.setRowHeight(36);
    table.setAutoCreateRowSorter(true);
    TableColumn column = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(2);
    column.setCellRenderer(new ComboBoxCellRenderer());
    column.setCellEditor(new ComboBoxCellEditor());
    return new JScrollPane(table);
