FilterTableModel filters the data presented to it by an underlying ListTableModel instance. See ListTableModel for more information.

You can construct a FilterTableModel with the constructor:

FilterTableModel(ListTableModel tableModel);

The underlying ListTableModel can be passed as an argument in the constructor or can be specified later via FilterTableModel's superclass (ListTableMap) method:

public void setModel(ListTableModel newModel);

Example: Create a FilterTableModel

(1)

ListTableModel unfilteredModel = new DefaultListTableModel();

FilterTableModel filteredModel = new FilterTableModel(unfilteredModel);

JTable table = new JTable();

table.setModel(filteredModel);

(2)

ListTableModel unfilteredModel = new DefaultListTableModel();

FilterTableModel filteredModel = new FilterTableModel(unfilteredModel);

JTable table = new JTable(filteredModel);
