Question

I have a JTable and I would like to do a filter from a JTextfield but only filter the results based on one column and not to search all columns.

I have my JTable I can filter but my filter will filter and search every column of the table I want to restrict it to one column

Can it be done ?

Answer 1

listen to changes in the textFields document and set the appropriate rowFilter limited to the column you want to filter:

 // on document change
 RowFilter rowFilter = RowFilter.regexFilter(textField.getText(), myColumn);
 table.getRowSorter().setRowFilter(rowFilter);

(type-cast and guard against empty textfield ommitted)
