Examples

The source distribution of the library includes several swing applications:

These applications are used as tests, but also as example source code.

The first application can be downloaded and executed directly (it uses the Java 5 version).

AppTestMain.java

This example shows the following functionality:

When the expanded table is shown, with all the columns, the name column includes, if the editor is in parsing text mode, a regular expression parser (all the other columns include the default parser).

AppTestWithSeparatedComponents.java

This is a basic example showing the composition of multiple filters on standalone mode.

AppTestComplex.java

This is a more complex example showing the composition of multiple filters, using standalone mode and the generic header.

It includes as well and additional feature: although the table contains only 5 columns, filters can be used with additional variables, or identifiers. For example, the table does not contain a club column, but the filter in the previous figure is using the club value associated to each row to specify a condition.

There are several ways to implement this feature. In the example, it is implemented by implementing an extended TableModel which has only the initial 5 columns visible, but provides information on additional fields for each row. The other way to implement this feature is by setting a specialized TableFilter that overrides the include method to pass a different RowFilter.Entry instance to the filters, implementing an extending dictionary.
