JTable (setForeground on text in cell)

Thanks,

Based on Events/conditions , I need to set the text in a JTable cell from
default color (black) to background color (white) to "hide" the text. These
conditions will force back/forth to the foreground coloring.

Is any one cell containing text a JTextField or JLabel?

How would I get a reference to the component to make the setForeground() call.

Thanks again.....

You best bet is to implement your own
javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer, but note
that it would probably be better to simply have
the returned component contain an empty String,
based on 'Evensts/Conditions' otherwise if the
user selects the cell/text, the text will become visible.
