Is there a way, through Java, to wrap text in the headers of a power table? What about freezing column(s) when using the horizontal scroll bar on a wide power table (analogous to Excel Freeze Panes). I am using 7.9.4. Thanks, Josh ---

Well I found the way to wrap text using HTML in this link: [http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/word-wrapping-column-headers-of-the-table-object/127](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/word-wrapping-column-headers-of-the-table-object/127) Any thoughts on freezing columns, forum search came up blank ---

Has anyone been able to incorporate Java tools to get the freeze panes to work? ---

There’s no simple solution. To freeze a column or columns, they have to be plucked out of the table model and placed in a separate JTable’s model, and that JTable’s body set as the scrollpane’s row header. ---

Thanks I tried doing as you described and although I could get the objects through the code, I wasn’t able to set the power table to a new JTable. I will continue working on it. Where would be the best place to put this code? In a separate button or in one of the power tables extension functions or event handlers? I am thinking a separate button. ---

jlopez, Were you able to get any further on this? Would like to implement the same sort of functionality. Thanks! ---

No I haven’t. I didn’t continue with developing on this as other things took priority in the application. Sorry wish I could be of more help.
