Hi,

Can anyone please tell me: is there a standard way of restricting the values
a user can enter into a table column to a set of choices.
The effect I'm after is that when they tab into a cell in this column,
instead of the normal edit mode they'd see a drop-down list with the
allowable values.

It should be possible to do by creating a special TableCellEditor derived
from Choice, but being such a basic grid operation, I was hoping there might
be a simpler standard way to say "this string array contains the options for
this column".

Alternatively, could someone point me in the direction of a good grid
control? No offence to JTable, but it's not exactly the best tool for
in-line editing. The Borland ones don't look all that crash-hot either.

Thanks,
Yael.
