Invisible column in JTable

[Ike]

Anyone know how to make a column invisible in a JTable? I have tried setting
the width of the column to 0, but it still shows up with elipses (...) in
the column and hence a nominal width.

Anyone ev er encountered this? Thanks, Ike

removeColumn() seems a good bet.

Not really sure why you want to do this but if I were to really hide
a column I would tinker with the data model so that its TableModel
interface returns less data than what the model really contains.
Of course one would need to add a couple of new methods for enabling
the hidden data somehow.

That's along the right lines, but use the TableColumnModel rather than the
TableModel, it makes things easier.
