Hi, All,

I've searched through the forum but no closely relevant topics that
seems close to my question.

I tried to set an identifier for each column of my JTable, using the
tableModel method setColumnIdentifiers():
e.g. in my tableModel I use:

String [] COLUMN_NAMES = {"column1","column2","column3"};
this.setColumnIdentifiers(COLUMN_NAMES);

then in my JTable,
I try to remove a column by calling:
this.removeColumn(this.getColumn(COLUMN_NAMES[0]);

The compiler always report error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Identifier not found

which means it can't recoginze the column identifier:  COLUMN_NAMES[0]

I can use:
TableColumnModel tcm = this.getTableColumnModel();
tcm.removeColumn(tcm.getColumn(0));

But I want to use myTable.removeColumn() directly, instead of using
the tableColumnModel.removeColum(i);

How should I do?

Thanks.
