tks in advance

Answer 1

Thanks for ur replies
This is the code which i have written
JTextField tf = new JTextField();
tf.addFocusListener(new FocusListener()
public void focusLost(FocusEvent fe)
validateDate();
DefaultCellEditor dce = new DefaultCellEditor(tf);
cell.setClickCountToStart(1);
myTable.getColumn("ApplDate").setCellEditor(dce);
public void validateDate()
//check for validDate
The problems iam facing is
1)when i navigate using tab to the particular column and if user enters something.The focusLost event doesnt fire if i navigate to the next column using tab.This only fires if users hit Enter.
2) when i use my mouse and click in the column and enter some value in the column then if i click on the nextRow the cursor doesnt go back to the same cell if the value is invalid.
i want the cursor to be in the same cell if my value is invalid
any ideas please
thanks
