Jtable content to system clipboard

[Marc Van Laer]

Hi all,

I'm trying to copy a JTable to my system clipboard.
So far i've been unsuccesfull.
Has anyone done this before?
Is it even possible?

Thanks in advance,

To copy selected table rows, you can use Java's built-in support:

TransferHandler th = myTable.getTransferHandler();
if (th != null) {
Clipboard cb = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
th.exportToClipboard(myTable, cb, TransferHandler.COPY);
}

If you want to copy the entire table contents, you probably have to
write it yourself. Have a look at the source code of the nested class
TableTransferHandler in javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTableUI.
