Hello.

Since a few days I permanently try to set up a Cell Renderer on my table
in order to wrap the text in my cells via TextArea.
But I think my Renderer is never invoked !!!

The following test shows it:

class MyTableRenderer extends TextArea implements TableCellRenderer
  {
        
    private JTextArea ta;

    public MyTableRenderer()
      {
    ta = new JTextArea();
    ta.setLineWrap(true);
    ta.setWrapStyleWord(true);
    ta.setOpaque(true);
      }
        
        
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
Object
                           value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
                           int row, int column)
        {
            

              System.out.println("Rendering works!!!");

// This console message I never get and so I think the renderer doesn't
// even get invoked!

              ta.setText(value.toStirng());
              return (Component)ta;     // "return this" would do the

                                        // same but i wanted to be sure
                                        // to exclude any error source

        }

  }

As said above I don't get the console message. So the
getTableCellRenderer method is NOT invoked, right!?

Furthermore I can assure that I didn't forget to do the following:

MyTableRenderer ren = new MyTableRenderer();                
table.setDefaultRenderer(String.class, ren);

I would be very glad if someone could help me with this problem.
Ok I now do my wrapping via HTML but i don't judge this solution
as elegant and furthermore i think that i'll possibly need the
renderer in the future....!!

greets.
