hi,

the fact that you are returning the jtextfield as the renderer will not make
the header editable: the framework will just use your control's paint method
to actually render the current header cell and that's it.

for example to have the cell editable, the framework actually gets the edit
field, put it in the appropriate place, make it visible and set the focus to
it. This is the editor, different from the renderer.

This complicated thing is not implemented for the header. If you really want
this you will have to implement it yourself and it will take you some time,
it's quite a challenging stuff...
