Re: iTunes-like JTable (alternating row colors)...

Yea, I liked it less the more I thought about it, though despite possibly needing to frequently adjust the number of rows, it's probably the 'easy' solution to this problem. Meaning, there is no easy solution: probably the 'right' thing to do is override the viewport to paint the stripes beyond the bottom of the table, as Steve Roy suggested... being careful that the stripes are the same height, etc, as the table rows.

In order for this to work, you'd have to constantly change the data model's rowCount to sync up with the size of the ( viewport.height / (intercellSpacing.height+rowHeight) ). And even that would have a scrollbar appear if the spacing wasn't exactly the correct width of a cell. That's a little too hacky for my tastes.

Thanks,
Sam

How about working around the problem by making your table model return default 'empty string' values for however many rows you need to fill the available space? You might need some marker or other method in the data model to distinguish 'valid' rows from rows that are just there to return empty strings, and you'll have an odd side effect of scrolling empty rows when there shouldn't be any scrolling going on. You may be able to adjust the number of 'empty' rows in the table model to match what you need to fill the available space and thus avoid scrollbars where they shouldn't be... just a thought.

I think you'd need to write a custom JTable UI for that. If you find out an easier way, let me know!

Thank you both Steve and Sam! Sorry to take so long to respond, but for
some reason all mail from Apple's mailing lists got blacklisted by our spam
filter.

Anyway, both of your suggestions work well, however they only stripe rows
that contain items. Any rows that do not contain anything are not striped.
Any ideas on how to extend the striping to empty rows as well?

Thanks again!
