Jorge - If you haven't already, you might want to check out the Java Tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html You would definitely need three different table model objects, but you might be able to write a single model class and create three instances of it. You might have some kind of filter parameter in the model that determines which of the three behaviors to use. The simplest way though, I think, would be to create separate data arrays for the three tables, and use the DefaultTableModel class for all three models. This would result in duplication of data, though, and may not be ideal I'm assuming here that you don't need the table to be editable (so that the user could modify the data, not just view it). If you need the user to be able to modify the data, then you do need for all three models to share the same data source. In that case, DefaultTableModels would not work well. - Keith > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Jorge Morales > Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 10:29 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: 3 JTables displaying almost the same data > > > Hi all, > I am doing a Swing application which uses 3 JTables to display almost > the same data.
