Sun Management Center is using JTable.setCellSelectionEnabled(false) to make table's row and column can not be selected at the same time, but for jdk1.4, JTable.setCellSelectionEnabled(false) make a table can not be selected either by rows nor by columns.

Please compile the following java codes and run it under JDK1.2 and JDK1.4, you can find that the table under JDK1.2 is selectable, but the table under JDK1.4 is not selectable.

import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.TableColumn;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class TestJTbl extends JFrame
{
    JButton b, b1;
    int col = 4;
    TableColumn columns[];
    JTable table;
    public TestJTbl()
    {
final java.lang.Object[][] data = {
{"Mark", "Andrews", "red", "Baseball", "1"},
{"Tom", "Ball", "Blue", "Football", "2"},
{"Alan", "Chung", "Green", "Baseball", "3"},
{"Jeff", "Dinkins", "Turquois", "Football", "4"},
{"Amy", "Fowler", "Yellow", "Hockey", "5"}
};
String[] headers = {"col1", "col2", "col3", "col4", "col5"};
table = new JTable(data, headers);

        table.setCellSelectionEnabled(false);
        
        table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
Container c = getContentPane();
        c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        c.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    }

    static public void main(String[] args) {
TestJTbl spTest = new TestJTbl();
spTest.pack();
spTest.setVisible(true);
    }
