Hi:
Having searched through the forum, I found that many responses misunderstood similar questions and tried to solve "How to set the COMPONENT'S BACKGROUND COLOR". However, I want to set the background color of the Column itself. My Component is a JLabel, so, setting its background has no effect whatsoever. I need to know how to set the background color of a specific JTable column when the table is first loaded, not when that row/cell is selected. JTable.setBackground(Color) will set the entire table, is there a similar method for a column only? Thanks very much.
