java - JTable - drag column to increase width

Question

I am new to Java and I am building a tool which uses a JTable. I wanted to expand the column and shrink accordingly, as the user drags the column. I am not exactly sure about the term used for this. This behavior could be noticed in Windows Explorer as attached. How could this be achieved? Proper direction would be appreciated!!

Answer 1

JTable has the setAutoResizeMode, to resize all columns you can use AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COLUMNS.

myTable.setAutoResizeMode(javax.swing.JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COLUMNS);
