java - JTable focus on entire row instead of cell -

is there way force jtable focus on entire rows instead of individual cells? i'm not talking row selection highlight, focus border i'd include cells on focused row.

update:

table non-editable cells , delete-row-functionality:

public class tabletest {      private static void createandshowgui() {          int rows = 20;         int cols = 2;         string[] headers = { "column 1", "column 2" };         string[][] data = new string[rows][cols];          (int j = 0; j < rows; j++)             (int k = 0; k < cols; k++)                 data[j][k] = "item " + (j * cols + k + 1);          jtable table = new jtable();          defaulttablemodel tablemodel = new defaulttablemodel(data, headers) {             // disable editing of cells             @override             public boolean iscelleditable(int row, int column) {                 return false;             }         };         table.setmodel(tablemodel);         table.setshowgrid(false);         table.setintercellspacing(new dimension(0,0));          // key binding remove rows         inputmap inputmap = table.getinputmap(jcomponent.when_ancestor_of_focused_component);         actionmap actionmap = table.getactionmap();         inputmap.put(keystroke.getkeystroke(keyevent.vk_delete, 0), "remove");         actionmap.put("remove", new abstractaction() {             @override             public void actionperformed(actionevent e) {                 int[] rows = table.getselectedrows();                      (int = rows.length - 1; >= 0; i--) {                     tablemodel.removerow(rows[i]);                 }             }         });          jframe f = new jframe();         f.setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.exit_on_close);         f.getcontentpane().add(new jscrollpane(table));         f.setsize(500, 500);         f.setvisible(true);     }      public static void main(string[] args) {         javax.swing.swingutilities.invokelater(new runnable() {             public void run() {                 try {                     uimanager.setlookandfeel(uimanager.getsystemlookandfeelclassname());                     //uimanager.setlookandfeel(uimanager.getcrossplatformlookandfeelclassname());                 } catch (classnotfoundexception | instantiationexception | illegalaccessexception | unsupportedlookandfeelexception e) {}                 createandshowgui();             }         });     } } 

"focus border" on selected row:

"focus border" no rows selected:

"focus border" in windows laf:

i want "focus border" include cells of row (when visible).

below same code i've added part of @camickr 's code:

public class tabletest {      private static void createandshowgui() {          int rows = 20;         int cols = 2;         string[] headers = { "column 1", "column 2" };         string[][] data = new string[rows][cols];          (int j = 0; j < rows; j++)             (int k = 0; k < cols; k++)                 data[j][k] = "item " + (j * cols + k + 1);           // added code         jtable table = new jtable() {              private border outside = new matteborder(1, 0, 1, 0, color.black);             private border inside = new emptyborder(0, 1, 0, 1);             private border border = new compoundborder(outside, inside);              @override             public component preparerenderer(tablecellrenderer renderer, int row, int column) {                 component c = super.preparerenderer(renderer, row, column);                 jcomponent jc = (jcomponent) c;                 // add border selected row                 if (isrowselected(row)) jc.setborder(border);                 return c;             }         };           defaulttablemodel tablemodel = new defaulttablemodel(data, headers) {             // disable editing of cells             @override             public boolean iscelleditable(int row, int column) {                 return false;             }         };         table.setmodel(tablemodel);         table.setshowgrid(false);         table.setintercellspacing(new dimension(0,0));          // key binding remove rows         inputmap inputmap = table.getinputmap(jcomponent.when_ancestor_of_focused_component);         actionmap actionmap = table.getactionmap();         inputmap.put(keystroke.getkeystroke(keyevent.vk_delete, 0), "remove");         actionmap.put("remove", new abstractaction() {             @override             public void actionperformed(actionevent e) {                 int[] rows = table.getselectedrows();                      (int = rows.length - 1; >= 0; i--) {                     tablemodel.removerow(rows[i]);                 }             }         });          jframe f = new jframe();         f.setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.exit_on_close);         f.getcontentpane().add(new jscrollpane(table));         f.setsize(500, 500);         f.setvisible(true);     }      public static void main(string[] args) {         javax.swing.swingutilities.invokelater(new runnable() {             public void run() {                 try {                     uimanager.setlookandfeel(uimanager.getsystemlookandfeelclassname());                     //uimanager.setlookandfeel(uimanager.getcrossplatformlookandfeelclassname());                 } catch (classnotfoundexception | instantiationexception | illegalaccessexception | unsupportedlookandfeelexception e) {}                 createandshowgui();             }         });     } } 

this adds border around entire row (but no left/right inset include cells). not "focus border/rectangle", border appears around selected row only. when delete row selected row cleared , focus border reappears.

note not want hide focus border (i know how it), want keep functioning include cells of row instead of 1 cell when becomes visible.

i want display focusborder around entire row.

take @ table row rendering.

it shows 1 way put border on row instead of individual cells.
