Consuming initial click in TableCellEditor

When I create a custom cell editor for my JTable, I would like the first click in the cell to bring up the cell editor but be ignored by the editor itself. For example, if I make a JSlider editor, the initial click inside the cell not only brings up the editor but actually moves the slider. How can I force the editor to ignore the initial mouse click? Thanks

The problem is that BasicTableUI.MouseInputHandler redispatches a mouseEvent that is recognized by the editor to start the edit to the editorComponent. (That's totally unnessary as far as the contract of the editor is concerned). So there is nothing the editor can do about it (consuming the event in isCellEditable or shouldSelectCell will not help, because a new event is created (?) though I'm not sure if the consumed flag is copied into the new one). My first try would be to replace the said MouseInputHandler with one that does not redispatch the event - I did not do it, though.
Greetings

  • Where to consume expansion click in JTreeTable?

    Hi!
    I have the following question concerning a JTreeTable (tried it with the classic TreeTableExample2 from http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/index.html ) :
    I want that whenever I click an expand/collapse button of the Tree either the JTable does not change the selection or it does not call my ListSelectionListeners. Where do I have to consume the mouse event on the button so that the JTable does not react? is it possible at all?
    thanks,
    Nils

    To install javascripts in Bridge go to the app preferences and select startup scripts from the list…
    You will then see a button if you click that your folder is revealed… Just pop them in that and restart the app…
    You may be prompted to add new at restart of the app…

  • I am experiencing Popup ads even with popup blocked, on initial clicking on any site? Is there a fix, a plugin to disable or is this a Firefox default feature?

    Hi,
    I am experiencing Popup ads even with popups blocked in preferences and always on initial opening of FF Browser when clicking anywhere on any website?
    Is there a fix, a plugin to disable or is this a Firefox default feature or is this related to something else?

  • My MBP-Retina's trackpad makes a "creaky" noise after initial click sound.

    The sound reminds me of a creaky, ungreased door hinge.
    I simply do a click and that creaky noise occurs. This occurs usually in the bottom right corner and right edge of my Trackpad.
    Are any of you experiencing this?
    Is this a major issue that I can contact AppleCare about?
    Thanks for helping out.

    Okay. Thank you, Kappy. I appreciate your input.
    But still, if anyone else knows EXACTLY what the problem is and HOW TO DIAGNOSE IT, please let me know!!
    P.S. The computer still runs great; I'm just concerned that the sound will eventually develop into a bigger problem.

  • I use Comcast, XP, Firefox, Yahoo email. When I initially click on Firefox on my Start page, it takes a very long time to open. After opening, everything runs fast.

    Not sure what details are needed.

  • ITunes bug? Rating stars won't click-drag left-right anymore

    The latest iTunes patch (v10.1.0.54 running on Windows 7) seems to have an annoying bug: When I'm rating a song, it immediately takes my initial click, regardless of whether I hold down the mouse button -- whereas I used to be able to click in the area where the rating stars are, hold down the mouse button, and then drag out the stars to the rating I wanted, e.g. 4 stars. Now, however, iTunes ignores the fact that I'm holding down the mouse button and sets the rating at whatever position I initially click, e.g. 1 star.
    The reason this is a super-annoying problem is that I only ever listen to smart playlists that filter out songs with low star ratings. So now as soon as I click a song to rate it, if I happen to initially click less than a 3-star rating, it immediately disappears. After I'm finished cursing at the computer, I have to go find the song under my general Music Library and re-rate it so it will show back up in my "smart" playlists. Grr.
    Incidentally, I was able to drag the stars as normal one time -- but other than that one instance, it has not worked at all since the most recent patch. Please, Apple, please please please fix this bug. It's causing me a serious headache.

    UPDATE: This bug only affects iTunes configured to allow half-star ratings.
    I normally have my ItunesPrefs.xml file configured to use half-stars, with this line:
    <key>allow-half-stars</key>
    <data>
    dHJ1ZQ==
    </data>
    After testing removal of the line, the click-drag on whole stars works normally. So it appears this bug exists only for those who only use half stars.
    Is there any hope of Apple fixing the click-drag problem when half-stars are enabled?

  • How can i see the MENU bar. Help says "Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip. What is a Tab Strip?

    My friend just bought a Windows 8 laptop so I told her to download the latest version of FireFox. Unfortunately, some idiot removed the Menu Bar which most people love. You can see all of your options in plain English. Anyway, I referred her to help and cannot believe it's so hard to get a simple answer to this question. Why does FireFox make it so difficult to get an old fashioned menu bar?
    Help says, "Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and check Menu Bar". OK, what is a "TAB STRIP" and where does she find it? Who writes these silly, useless help tips?

    Grad, you made some good points but we still disagree. I'll acknowledge that maybe millions was a slight exaggeration but nobody has an accurate count. However, I do understand the difference between making something simple and obvious versus a programmer trying to prove how clever he or she is.
    Grad, I'm guessing you and your friends are much younger than us as we are well above the age of 50.
    As for the number of clicks, I'm confused by your comment. My Menu Bar is always visible so I have to merely '''click once on Bookmarks''' to get to those menu options. It sounds as if you have to initially click on the orange FireFox button in order to see the Menu Bar, and then click a 2nd time on Bookmarks. That sounds like 2 clicks of the mouse to me.
    I have Windows 7 and never saw Windows 8 so I can't comment on your excellent question. I personally had the '''Menu Bar displaying 100% of the time''' for as long as I could remember. I just couldn't remember how I initially turned it on several years ago and the help file proved to be more confusing than helpful.

  • Can't turn on time machine, & not backing up as initially set

    I have a Seagate external backup drive that I have used before to backup our computer.  Initially before I used this for the first time, I went to time machine and turned time machine on and set it to back the computer up frequently.  Then I went and backed up the computer on the seagate all went well.  This was in October.  Well, now it is december decided to do another backup on the external drive but before doing so I checked the time machine only to notice it was last modified on december 3rd which means it last backed up dec 3rd right?  With this in mind, it is the 13th of dec.  I don't think it is backing up frequently like I set it too.  Also, when I pull up time machine, and click on open, it will not open.  Also, when I initially click on time machine I get the time line on the side of the computer, and it says last backup was oct 23rd.  I am confused and would like to connect my seagate external for another update and backup but will not yet unless the time machine is working right.   In looking at time machine info, the size:is 1,855,379 bytes (2MB on disk).  Created: June 20th, and modified Dec 3rd. so what does modified dec 3rd mean, if is says it was last backed up oct 23rd? 
    When I go to time machine, it will not allow me to open it.  and there is no on off sliding option now that was there when i initially opened up time machine to set it up
    help

    I am referring to the time machine application that comes with the MacBook Pro which automatically runs backups.  I go to finder, applications, and then I click on the time machine icon. 
    Unfontunately I tried to copy the time machine box, and the time machine info box earlier, and again, and I cannot copy to this post to show you, is that what you mean by screen shot?  Otherwise please explain what you mean by that.
    thank you for responding.

  • Click in right speaker / channel

    When my MacBook Pro plays an alert sound (such as the incoming mail sound), there is an initial click in the right hand speaker. Now I say the right hand speaker, but I get the same click when I plug in headphones.
    Now this doesn't happen every time, only if an alert is played with at least a 20 or 30 second gap since the last alert. Listening with headphones I can hear a very faint background hiss when a sound has been played which disappears after about 20 or 30 seconds and it's after this time that there will be a click when another sound is played.
    Has anyone else experienced this or know why it's happening?

    Same problem here. Check this thread, I hope this helps... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1063465&tstart=15

  • What happens: Reboot while TM doing initial backup?

    What happens if for some reason I need to reboot my machine while Time Machine is doing its initial backup? I am doing it wirelessly (I'm lazy), so it is going to take forever. Can I get away with doing a reboot if it is required? Will it pick up where it left off?
    Thanks!

    I accidentally put the Mac into sleep mode during a TM backup all the time. Doesn't seem to cause any major problems. However, for the initial back up, you should be doing it via ethernet and without interruption. I'd set aside a time when you won't be messing with the Mac during this critical and time-consuming initial backup.

  • Drill Down In Excel like in web

    Hi Friends
    Can we have drill down facility in input scheule in Excel like wise in Web?
    For Eg:
    If i have 3 levels:
    Initially Input schedule (Excel) need to display 1st level items next i click then need to drill down and final
    base members will be in 3rd level.
    I could do this in WEB.
    Ex:
    Other Income
       Duty drawback benefit
       Sale of scrap
       Lease rentals
       Miscellaneous income
    Cost of Sales
       Raw materials and components consumed
       Traded goods

  • Checking for PDF 1.7 compatibility in Preflight (Acrobat 9 Pro)

    Hi,
    I've noticed that in the given Preflight profiles in Acrobat 9 there is no compatibility check for PDF 1.7, only 1.6. is there a profile i can load? or a set of checks i can make a profile in order to determine 1.7 compatibility?
    Thanks,
    Yair Agmon.

    Hi,
    Knowing a PDF file's version premits deduction of what version "compatibility" is present.
    Version 1.7 (Acrobat 8.x) lacks compatibility for Acrobat 9.x specific features.
    Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x) lacks compatibility for Acrobat 8.x specific features.
    And so forth.
    Certainly, not an elegantly simple approach; but, nevertheless it is functional.
    Using Acrobat Professional/Extended 9.x -
    Open the Preflight dialog.
    Advanced > Preflight
    From the Options drop-down menu, Select "New Preflight Profile".
    The Prefight: Edit Profile dialog opens.
    A default profile name is provided (New Profile <number>).
    Initially, Click the Save button to save the profile. You can rename it later.
    Note that "New Profile" is placed in "Custom
    Now, locate your "New Profile" in the column at the left of the dialog and select
    "Custom checks".
    The available custom checks list loads in the pane to the right.
    Above and to the right is a "Find" field.
    Enter the string "version".
    A filtered list appears.
    A custom check is available for "versions newer than":
    1.2 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 1.6 | 1.7
    and there is a custom check for "version older than 1.3".
    Add the desired custom check to the profile. Save.
    Configure the check for Error | Warning | Info
    Info is "Notification" in the report that can be provided.
    Once you have configured "New Profile" it can be used by a Batch Sequence to check multiple files.
    When a Preflight is selected for use by a Batch Sequence you can configure for a "on success" and/or "on error" report.
    Be well...

  • Ideas or help needed for a simple, robust pluggable framework

    Hi all,
    Having written a fairly decent plugin engine, similar in concept to the Eclipse plugin engine, although at a more generic scale, I am looking for any possible ideas for a Java Swing framework that is built around the engine, with the concept of using a framework that is built on mostly plugins. My engine handles, or will soon handle, a number of features to make the engine robust enough, yet still easy enough, to use for just about any purpose.
    The engine is pretty simple, although with a bit more work I feel will be overall a pretty robust and powerful plugin engine. Each plugin is made up of one or more "services". A plugin is a .jar file that contains a plugin-conf.xml config file, the classes that implement the Service interface, and any supporting classes. The "plugin" is really the package of one or more services and supporting classes. The engine will handle the ability to work with expanded dir structures as well, so that the build process doesn't have to create .jar files on every build of a plugin. The engine has built in support to load, unload and reload a plugin at runtime. This helps during development by allowing auto-reload of a plugin service without having to restart the app. The engine has the ability to "watch" URLs in a separate thread (still working on this), and at given intervals if a change occurs to any plugin, that plugin is reloaded. This is configurable on a per plugin basis in the config file.
    Every plugin .jar file gets its own classloader instance. Because of the nature of a framework that may rely heavily on plugins, it will be very common to have plugin dependencies, where a plugin service may rely on one or more other plugin services. The dependencies are configured in the plugin-conf.xml file, and the engine resolves these when the plugin is loaded, automatically. Once all plugins have been loaded, an "init" call is made that then goes and resolves all plugin service dependencies, setting up the behind the scenes work to make sure any service can use any other service it defines to depend on. Another area is plugin versions. There will no doubt be a time when some sort of application may have legacy plugins, but also have newer plugins. For example, an application built on a "core" set of plugins, may eventually update the core plugins with newer versions. The engine allows the "old" plugins to exist and work while new versions of the same plugins may be loaded and working at the same time. This allows older plugins that depend on the old set of core plugins to work, while newer plugins that depend on the new core plugins may work also. Any plugin may depend on one or more services specified by specific versions, or a range of versions.
    Plugin services can define to be created when first loaded, or lazy instantiated. Ideally, an application would opt for lazy instantiation until a plugin is needed. For example, a number of plugins may need to add menu items or buttons that would trigger its service. The plugin does not actually need to be created until the menu or button is clicked on. There is one BIG problem with how this engine works though. Unlike the Eclipse (and other) engines where the config file defines the menu item(s), buttons, etc in an xml sort of language, this engine is built for generic use, and therefore is not specific to menu items or buttons triggering a service instantiation. Therefore, a little "hack" is required. A specific plugin that is created when first loaded will be required to set up all the menu items for specific plugins, then handle the actionPerformed() call to instruct the engine to create the service. The next step would be for the plugin service to add its own handler to the specific menu item it depends on, and remove the "old" handler the startup plugin added to it to handle the initial click. Another thought just struck me though. Because the engine must use an XML parser to load every plugin-conf.xml file, it might be possible to "extend" the parsing routine, where by an extending class could be added to the engine to parse plugin-conf.xml files. First the plugin engines own routine would parse it. Then, the extending class could parse for any extra plugin-conf.xml info, such as menu item settings, and directly set up the menu items and handlers in this manner. I will probably include this ability directly in the engine soon anyway, so that nobody else has to do this, but this is one area I would appreciate some feedback on.
    Anyway, so that is the jist of the engine. There is more to it under the hood, but that sums up a good part of it. Now, the pluggable framework, much like what the "shell" of eclipse, forte and so forth offer, is built around my engine to make it very easy to build Swing applications with a pluggable framework underneath. The idea is to package up a startup main class that is configurable, a number of useful plugins that other plugins could depend on, such as an Outlook layout, menuing, toolbars, drag/drop, history, undo/redo, macro record, open/save/search/find/replace dialogs, and so forth. This isn't just for an IDE though. The developer using the framework could deploy the basic app with the plugins of his/her choice, and add to it with his/her own plugins.
    Soooo, after this long post, what I am getting at is if anyone would be interested in helping out with ideas, feedback, testing, core framework plugins, and so forth. At this time I am keeping the code closed, but will probably public domain it, open source it, or whatever. The finished framework should make it easy for anyone to quickly build useable applications, and if all goes well, I'd like to set up a site with a location for 3rd party plugins to be uploaded, for download, comments, etc. Being a web developer, I myself will probably work on some plugins for Web Services, web stress testing, and so forth. I have lots of ideas for useable plugins.
    On that note, one application I am personally working on for my own use, is a simple yet possibly robust internet suite of apps. I want to incorporate FTP, Email, NewsGroup, and IRC/AOL IM/Yahoo IM/MSN IM/ICQ chat into a single app. Every aspect of it would be plugins. Frankly, I hate outlook, Eudora is alright, but I want to do some things with the email app. I also want a single IM/Chat app that can talk with all protocols (not an easy task, take a look at GAIM). Newsgroups are handy to work with for developers and others of interest, as is FTP. But even more so, being able to have all in one big application framework that allows them to share data between each other, work with one another, and so forth is appealing to me, and being written in Java it could potentially work on many platforms, giving some platforms a possible nice set of internet apps to use. Being able to send an email to a mailing list AND have it posted to specific newsgroups at the same time without having to copy/paste, open up separate applications and so forth has appeal. Directly emailing from any chat or newsgroup link without another app starting up is a little faster as well. Those are just "small" things that could prove to be very kewl in a complete internet app. Adding a web browser, well, I don't think I want to go that route. But if there is already a decent Java built web browser, it shouldn't be too hard to add it as a plugin.
    So, if anyone is interested, by all means, drop a post to this thread, let me know of interest, feedback, ideas, point out bad things, and so forth. I appreciate all forms of communication.
    Thanks.

    Yes I do. I am using it now with my work related project.
    I am in fact reworking the engine a bit now. I want to incorporate the notion of services (like OSGi) where by a plugin can register services. These services are "global" in scope, meaning any plugin may request the use of a service. However, services, unlike plugins, are not guaranteed to be available. Therefore, plugins using services must be coded to properly handle this possibility. As an example, imagine an email application using my engine. One plugin may provide the email gateway, including the javamail .jar library and provide the email service. Other plugins, such as the one that provides the functionality for the SEND button, would "use" this service. At runtime, when the send button was pressed it would ask the engine for the email service. If available, off goes the email. If not, it could pop up a dialog indicating some sort of message that the email service is not available.
    I am at the VERY beginning stages in this direction so I'd love to have ideas, thoughts, suggestions as to how this might be implemented. I do believe though that it will provide for a more powerful engine. The nice thing is, while the engine will support static runtime plugins, it will also support dynamic services that can come and go during the runtime. The key is that plugins using services do not maintain references to them, but instead query the engine each time a plugin needs to use a service.
    Static plugins are those that are guaranteed to be available or if not, any dependent plugin is not allowed to load. That is, if A depends on B and B is not able to be loaded, A is unloaded as well as it can't perform its job without B; it depends on B in some manner to complete its function. Imagine a plugin adding an option panel to the Preferences page only that the Preferences plugin is not loaded. It just can't work. However, with some work, there could be variations on this. That is, a plugin may provide a menu item as well as a preferences page. If the preference plugin is not available, then the plugin may simply still work via the menu item, but have no preferences panel available. This should be configurable via the plugin-conf.xml config file. However, as I have it now, using extension points and extensions like Eclipse does, it is also possible that if the Preferences plugin isn't loaded, it wont look for ANY extensions extending its extensino point, and therefore the plugins could all still run but there would simply be no preferences page. So, I am not entirely sure yet which way is best for this to work.
    My engine, as it stands now, allows for separate classloader plugin loading, it automatically resolves all dependencies by creating the plugin registry each time the engine is started up. To speed up plugin loading, it maintains a plugins.xml file in the root dir that keeps track of each plugin that was loaded and its last timestamp. Plugins can be open directory files or jarred up into .PAR files (think .WAR or .EAR files). The engine can find .par or open-dir plugins in multiple locations (including URL locations for direct .par files). When it finds a .par file, it first decompresses the .par file to a plugin work directory. Every plugin must have a plugin-conf.xml in its root dir, and either a /classes dir where compiled classes are, or a .jar file in the root path of the plugin, where the /classes dir superscedes the .jar file. Alternatively, anything in a /lib dir is automatically picked up as part of the plugin classpath. So a plugin that wraps the xerces.jar file can simply place the xerces.jar in the /lib dir and automatically present the xerces library to all dependent plugins (which can import the xerces classes but not need to distribute the xerces.jar file if a plugin they depend on has it in its /lib dir). The "parent lookup" process goes only one parent level deep. That is, if plugin A depends on a class in a /lib/*.jar file in plugin B, then the engine will resolve the class (through delegation) of plugin B. But if A depends on B, B depends on C where plugin C's /lib/*.jar file contains a class A is looking to use, this will not work and A will throw a ClassNotFoundException. In other words, the parent lookup only goes as far as the classpath of all dependent plugins, not up the chain of all dependent plugins. Eclipse allows each plugin to "export" various classes, or packages, or entire .jar files and the lookup can go all the way up the chain if need be. I haven't yet found a big reason for supporting this, so I am not too concerned with that at this point. The engine does support reloadable plugins although I have not yet implemented it. Because each plugin information object is stored in a Map keyed on the plugins GUID (found in the plugin-conf.xml file), it is easy enough to load a new plugin (since they get their own classloader) and replace the object at the GUID key and now have a reloaded plugin. The harder part is properly notifying all dependent plugins of the reload and what to do with them. Therefore I have not quite yet implemented this feature although the first step can easily be done, so long as nobody minds the "remnants" of older plugins laying around and possibly not being garbage collected.
    All of this works now, and I am using it. I do NOT have a generic UI framework just yet. I am working on that now. Eclipse has a very nice feature in that every plugin.xml file builds up the UI without any plugin code ever being created or ran. I am working on something like that now, although I am focussed more on the aspect of the engine at this point.
    Two things keep me going. First, the shear fun of working on this and seeing it succeed, even if a little bit. Second, while I love the idea of Eclipse, OSGi and other engines, so far I have yet to find one that is very easy to write plugins for, is very small, and is "generic" enough for any use. Some may argue JBoss core, at 29K can do this. I don't know if it can. It is built around JMX and I don't know that I agree JMX is the "ultimate" core plugin engine for all types of apps. Not that mine is either, but I'd like to see what I am working on become that if possible. Currently, with an xml parser (www.xmlpull.org) added as part of the code, my engine is about 40K with debug info, maybe about 28K without. I expect it to grow a bit more with services, reloadable/unloadable code, and some other stuff. However, I am thinking it will still be around 50K in size and in my opinion, with an xml read/write parser (very fast one at that), extension/extensino points, services, dependencies, multiple versions of plugins (soon), load/unload/reload capabilities, .par management (unjar into work dir, download .par files from urls, etc) and open directory capabilities, inidividual classloaders, automatic dependency resolution, dynamic dependency resolution and possibly even more, I think what my engine offers (and will offer) is pretty cool in my book.
    None the less, there is always room for improvement. One of the things I pride myself on is using as little code and keeping the code neat and easily readable, not to mention as non-archaic as possible, makes for an easily maintainable project.
    So, having said all that, YES, the engine can be used as is right now. It does not reload plugins, but you can dynamically load plugins, handle dependency resolution, have a very fast xml read/write parser at your disposal for any plugin, and for the most part easily write plugins. That is all possible now. I should put the engine I have now up on my generic-plugin-engine sourceforge project one of these days, perhaps soon I will do that! While I have no problem handing out the code, I am currently the only committer and I don't have it loaded into CVS at this point. I would like to do so very soon.
    So, if you are interested, by all means, let me know and I'll be happy to send you what I have, and love to have more help on the next version of this.

    The weird thing is that it only happens when i click on Macintosh HD. If I click on any other folder they all pop right up, and even if I click on Macintosh HD from within another folder it is there. It only happens when I initially click on Macintosh HD.
    I posted a short video on YouTube that shows this problem a little more if it helps..

    (Just uploaded it so it may or may not be already up, thanks for the patience)
    I guess it's not THAT big of a deal, but like everyone else I want my machine to work perfectly.
    Any ideas on how I can restore this?? I tried dragging and dropping the folders manually while in Macintosh HD and nothing.
    TIA for the help.

    Nothing. It just reset my dock and took out all my other programs. I just put those files back and everything went back to normal. But either way, it didn't resolve the side menu issue.
    Anymore ideas??
    Thanks for the help!
