Syntax error Disable auto resizing to make the JTable horizontal scrollable in Java

Disable auto resizing to make the JTable horizontal scrollable in Java

To disable auto resizing, you need to use the setAutoResizeMode() method. After that, set the table to AUTO_RESIZE_OFF.

Let’s say the following is our table −

String[][] rec = {
   { "1", "Virat", "840" },
   { "2", "David", "835" },
   { "3", "Shikhar", "656" },
   { "4", "Steve", "530" },
   { "5", "Kane", "515" },
   { "6", "Eion", "509" },
   { "7", "AB de Villiers", "498" },
   { "8", "Quinton", "470" },
   { "9", "Glenn", "410" },
   { "10", "Tom", "360" },
   { "11", "Johnny", "320" },
   { "12", "Shreyas", "280" },
};
String[] header = { "S.NO", "Player", "Runs" }; JTable table = new JTable(rec, header);

Now, disable auto resizing −

table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);

The following is an example to disable auto resizing to make the JTabel horizonatal scrollable −

Example

package my;
import java.awt.Color;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.border.TitledBorder;
public class SwingDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      JFrame frame = new JFrame();
      JPanel panel = new JPanel();
      panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(
         BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(), "Total Runs", TitledBorder.CENTER, TitledBorder.TOP));
      String[][] rec = {
         { "1", "Virat", "840" },
         { "2", "David", "835" },
         { "3", "Shikhar", "656" },
         { "4", "Steve", "530" },
         { "5", "Kane", "515" },
         { "6", "Eion", "509" },
         { "7", "AB de Villiers", "498" },
         { "8", "Quinton", "470" },
         { "9", "Glenn", "410" },
         { "10", "Tom", "360" },
         { "11", "Johnny", "320" },
         { "12", "Shreyas", "280" },
      };
      String[] header = { "S.NO", "Player", "Runs" }; JTable table = new JTable(rec, header);
      table.setShowGrid(false);
      table.setShowHorizontalLines(true);
      table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
      table.setGridColor(Color.orange);
      panel.add(new JScrollPane(table));
      frame.add(panel);
      frame.setSize(550, 400);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }
}

This will produce the following output. Auto resize is off here −

Now, you can drag and resize the table columns −
