Hi All,

I'm attempting to set the width of some columns in a JTable to the size
of their column header's plus the column margin.

I call the following method for each column in the table. I don't want
some columns to have a fixed size hence the boolean.

private void setColumnWidth(JTable jTableIn, int intIn, boolean
booleanIn)
{
   String value = jTableIn.getColumnName(intIn);
   JTableHeader jHeader = jTableIn.getTableHeader();
   FontMetrics  metrics =
jTableIn.getGraphics().getFontMetrics(jHeader.getFont());
   int width = metrics.stringWidth(value) + (2 *
jHeader.getColumnModel().getColumnMargin());

   if (booleanIn)
   {
       jTableIn.getColumnModel().getColumn(intIn).setMaxWidth(width);
       jTableIn.getColumnModel().getColumn(intIn).setMinWidth(width);
   }

jTableIn.getColumnModel().getColumn(intIn).setPreferredWidth(width);
}

The problem is that the text in the headers in always truncated, which
is not what I expect. Any suggestions as to how I can do this better.

Thanks,

MrFred.
