Description maxnitribitt 2009-12-10 08:42:30 UTC

Without getNodeFromRow being accessible it's hard to create custom renderer that replaces the default one.

Example Usecase: a user wants a different background color for the row when a nodes lookup contains a certain object.

I do not see what would you do with the Node if getNodeFromRow() was accessible.
You probably want to use JTable.setDefaultRenderer(...)

I want to use the method for it's intended purpose, helping to access a node in order to render it. 


E.g. I want to access the Nodes lookup. Nodes usually are wrappers around dataobjects contained in nodes lookup. if I want to render based on the dataobject there is currently no way to access it.

Use case I want to set the background color of the row based on a property of the dataobject. Currently there is no way

> You probably want to use JTable.setDefaultRenderer(...)

Could you explain how it would solve the use case (set the background color of the row based on a property of the dataobject)?

I bump this feature report.

I need a solution to show a different background color for cells with missing properties.

In outlines I show different nodes (with different property-sets). The user can't see if a property is empty or a property doesn't exists.
