Editing in cell

i just switched from pc/excel to mac/Numbers, and i can't figure out how to (a) change my preferences so that the cursor doesn't move down a cell after i press return and (b) edit in cell. in excel and lotus, you pressed f2 to edit in cell (and to switch between editing in cell and moving the cursor around the sheet); in Numbers i can't find that option.

Hi dre1973,
Welcome to Numbers forum.
1. Regarding the cursor movement: Enter or Return moves it down Tab moves it to the right. As in other programs there isn't any way to make a change.
2. In cell editing: double click on the cell.
If those answers are not satisfactory please contact Numbers development team: At the top of the screen to the right of the blue apple click Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback. Your request goes directly to the Numbers team. Then hope your request is implemented in the next version of Numbers.
Because of different design philosophies MS and Apple do things differently, neither is incorrect.
Sincerely,
RicD

Default behaviour of the Escape key while editing a cell in JTable??

Hi all,
i have a Jtable which get its data from an own model object which extends DefaultTableModel.
If i overwrite the isCellEditable(row, col) method within the tablemodel object and set a specific column to editable, then i notice while editing a cell in that column that the default behaviour of the Escape key is that independet from what you have entered before in to the cell the editing stops and the cell gets the value it had before editing.
This is the case for me even if i apply a custom editor to a column (one that extends DefaultCellEditor). It is just a JTextField that limits the number of digits a user can enter. Everything works fine. If the user edits the cell and presses ENTER or the "down arrow key" i can check what he has entered with the help of the getCellEditorValue() method. But if the user hits the ESC key after editing a cell this method is not invoked!!!
My question is :
is there any way to detect that the user cancels editing with the ESC-key.
this is very important for me because if the user goes editing the cell i lock the related record in the database, if i cannot detect this it is locked till the application terminates.
Thanks for any help in advance

I try override the JTable editingCanceled() ==> does not work.
I try the addCellEditorListener( CellEditorListener l ) ==> does not work.
Finally, I try the addKeyListener ==> it works.
Here is a quick demo. program:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args){
JFrame f = new JFrame();
String[] colName = {"a", "b"};
String[][] rowData = {{"1", "2"}, {"3", "4"}};
JTable table = new JTable(rowData, colName);
JTextField t = new JTextField(10);
t.setBackground(Color.red);
t.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE) {
// do what ever you want ex. un-lock table
System.out.println("ESCAPE");
DefaultCellEditor editor = new DefaultCellEditor(t);
TableColumnModel colModel = table.getColumnModel();
for (int i = colModel.getColumnCount()-1; i >= 0; i--) {
colModel.getColumn(i).setCellEditor(editor);
f.setContentPane(new JScrollPane(table));
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);

Help with editing a cell in a JTable. DESPERATE

Hi! Is there someone out there that could help with some source code for editing a cell in my JTable when I run it as an applet??
It works fine when I run it as an application.
I manage to select the row and write a number in it, but I can't get out of the cell (it seems that the program stops??). I want to enter an integer in a cell and when I click enter or with the mouse in an other cell the value that I enter should update some other cell( multiply the entered value with some fixed number and update a cell in a second coloumn)
I am really desperate now..... I have thought about using a MouseListener....
I am using a tablemodel that is from AbstractTableModel.

Are you using some cell editors?
While converting inside them, you might be getting some exceptions (like parseexception)which is stopping you from proceeding further.
Are you using your own tablemodel with custom datatypes?
Hope this helps,

Dynamically Rendering and editing JTable cell

Hi all,
I wonder if some body can help me.
As in my application each cell in Jtable returns java Object. and what i am trying to do is based on each object returned in cell my renderer is going to change dynamically. for example if the object returned is primitive data types the renderer is defualt, if the returned object is Map, Set or List, then the Cell Renderer should show clickable button with icon on right hand side and TextField on left hand side and so on for other objects. i am able get renderer for Map, set or list, which is button on right hand side of cell and text field on left hand side displaying toString of Object. then what i want is when i click button it should show those values in popup window and if i double click it should edit the cell which i am able to do it. so how can i handle events or what i have to do to make button clickable. if any body come accross these situations or got idea. please let me know how to move further.
Thanks,
Kotesh.

Hi,
Thanks for your advise and as i said i am able to get render for Map as (TextField in left hand side+Button with icon in right hand side side) of Cell. but what i need is when i click button which is on right hand, then i should be able to show popup wvindow with map values and if i double click on TextField which is on right hand side, then i should be able to edit Cell which is happening. but i am not able to get popup window when i click button on right hand side of cell. basically i am not sure how to handle events on cell and the button on right hand side?
if some one can guide me that will be great as i am in big trouble.
Thanks
Kotesh.

Theme Editor: where to change backgroundcolor of editable table cells?

Hi all,
I need to change the color of an editable table cell.
I navigated to the theme editor --> tables.There is a section "Editable Tables". The preview shows an example with three columns and tree rows. I want to change the backgroundcolor of the cell in the first row, third column (in SAP standard it is lightgrey).
The backgroundcolor of the rows beneath can be changed in section "Selected Cells", the backgroundcolor of the first two columns in the first row can be changed by "Background Color of Standard Table Cell" but I can't find the field where I can change the color of the last cell.
Best regards,
Sandra

Hi,
The blue color come from your definitions on "Labels and Fields" to read-only color of input field.

Edit table cells

i have edited the setValueAt method of the TableModel interface to enable editing of cells in my JTable - in-situ. This works fine. However, i would like it so that when any change is made to the table data, it is automatically sorted depending on how it was sorted before the change was made. i have:
public void setValueAt(Object aValue, int row, int col) {
        if (col == 0) {
            bookList[row].setBookNumber(Integer.parseInt((String)aValue)); // Populates cell with new book number
            if (lastSort == "number") {
                listByNumber();
        } else {
            if (col == 1) {
                bookList[row].setTitle((String)aValue); // Populates cell with new book title
            } else {
                if (col == 2) {
                    bookList[row].setAuthorPrename((String)aValue); // Populates cell with new author prename
                } else {
                    bookList[row].setAuthorSurname((String)aValue); // Populates cell with new author surname
    }i would put more if statements in later for different sort methods but at the moment ill just stick with one. My problem is that the array is being sorted correctly, but the table doesn't update automatically to show the change. what DOES happen - is when you click on each row of the table, it changes until it is in the correct order. this leads me to think that the sorting works fine, but somehow my table model isnt reflecting the changes? can any help me update the table in real time?

no luck :( i tried:
   public void setValueAt(Object aValue, int row, int col) {
        if (col == 0) {
            bookList[row].setBookNumber(Integer.parseInt((String)aValue)); // Populates cell with new book number
            listByNumber();
            fireTableDataChanged();and extended AstractTableModel but it still didnt work. is there anything else i would need to do?

HTMLB TableView Iterator & Edit columns, cells

Hi friends,
I am getting errors when , I tried to edit the columns, & Cells of HTMLB TableView by using Iterator.Actually, I got the whole edit buttons and when I edit the values of particular column & cell fileds, it is not saving the values, instead it is giving same old values. The code I used is as follows.
To Edit the columns,
method
IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~GET_COLUMN_DEFINITIONS.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <def> LIKE LINE OF p_column_definitions.
APPEND INITIAL LINE TO p_column_definitions ASSIGNING <def>.
<def>-COLUMNNAME = 'STUDENTID'.<def>-EDIT = 'X'.
endmethod.
To Edit the cells,
RENDER_CELL_START Method:
method
IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~RENDER_CELL_START.
CASE p_column_key.
WHEN 'ICON'.
WHEN 'STUDENTID'.
 IF p_edit_mode IS NOT INITIAL.
ENDIF.
WHEN 'SDATE'.
 IF p_edit_mode IS NOT INITIAL.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
endmethod.
To Edit the SDATE cells,
WHEN 'SDATE'.
IF p_edit_mode IS NOT INITIAL.
DATA: date TYPE STRING.
date = m_row_ref->SDATE.
p_replacement_bee = CL_HTMLB_INPUTFIELD=>FACTORY(
 id = p_cell_id
 value = date
 type = 'DATE'
 showHelp = 'TRUE'
 cellValue = 'TRUE' ).
 ENDIF.
Why the either column or cell is not saving the new values, when I edit them? where it went wrong? please mail me in this regard.
regards

Hi REDDY CSM
To learn coding these Methods.
You need to learn everything from scratch about MVC.

When using macbook air and excel, what is the shortcut to edit a cell

when I want to edit a cell, i know that I can point to the cell and click; but is there anything like function f2 that would be shortcut ?

You still have to point to the cell to edit. A double tap on the trackpad will allow an "in cell" edit of the formula. (If you have tap to click enabled in preferences)

Programmatically Editing a Cell Not Working

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to automatically begin editing a cell within a JTable as soon as the table is displayed.
I've tried using the table.editCellAt(int row, int col) method but it just seems to have no effect.
I've set the cell editable within my custom table class (and I know it is because if I double click on the cell or type anything then the editor is displayed).
FYI I'm using Java 1.5
Anyone got any ideas?

Does nobody know how to automatically engage the editor component of a JTable programatically i.e. without having to click on the cell?? The code I gave you above works fine for me in JDK1.4.2. Why don't you post the 10 line demo program you are using to test my suggestion. That way people can determine whether you test code is wrong or 1.5 isn't working.

Edit two cells at the same time

Hi friends!
Is it possible to edit two cells of JTable at the same time?
When I click on a cell, the cell enters in edit mode, but I want to edit another cell at the same time. To do that I use this method :
GrelhaHorarios.editCellAt(row,col);The problem is the other cell returns to the rendered form and only one is in edit mode. Regard that I don't to want introduce values manually, but with the setValueAt(...) method.
Thanks in advance.

You can only edit a single cell at a time.
You do not need to place a cell in edit mode to use the setValueAt(...) method.

Edit One Cell In Alvs Based On Some Condition

Hi Experts,
 My Requirement Is :
Has To *Edit one cell using alv grid *, for ex: If Netpr > 100(value). that should be in editable mode,rest of the cells in non-editable mode. pls let me know how to do it,

Hi Fareedas,
The follow program demonstrates how to make individual fields of an ALV grid editable (NetPR greater than 10). Changes required from a basic ALV grid include adding a new field to ALV grid data table(it_ekko), Populating this field with style attribute and adding an entry to layout control table. Also from the previous examples used on this website you will also need to change the data type of the fieldcatalog, the layout and use a different function module for displaying the report

JTable edits wrong cell on mouseclick

I am using an editable JComboBox as my cell editor. When the user is editing a cell and clicks on another cell with the mouse, the value of the cell they were editing is inserted into the cell that they clicked on. Can anyone please help me. Thanks.

Edit table cells in Dreamweaver 8

In Dreamwever MX2004 if you have a 1 row, 2 column table, I
can enter text in the left cell and not affect the right cell,
otherwords, I can have text in the right cell and it does not move
if I do a carrage return in the left cell.
However in Dreamweaver 8 with the same situation, the text
line in the right cell moves down one line for each carrage return
in the left cell. Dreamweaver 8 does not leave an editable area
abovr the text of the right cell so you can't backspace the text
back to the top of the cell, thus, I can't have any alignment
between the two cells.
Any ideas on how to make Dreamweaver 8 behave the same as
Dreamweaver MX2004
Cheers,
Linus Sagadore

as a pure guess, it's got to do with the align attribute of
the td tag, or
the css being used.
my guess is the code is set to vertically align the contents
of the right
cell. When you add content to the left cell, the right cell
gets taller, so
the contents of it appear to move down.
if you're still unclear- please make a page with each
version, with a table
that does this, and upload someplace and give a link to the
uploaded pages.

I want that the kunnr retrieved in the search be non-editable
But i want that the kunnr cell in the appended line be editable
How can i do this?

Edit a cell programatically

How to start editing a specific cell in a table view programmatically. For example, I have a table view with a column. Whenever the user clicks on any row's cell, the cell value factory is called and start edit method is invoked in that cell. Now cell's content is replaced with a text field and allows the user to edit. Now I want to do this programmtically say for example edit row 5 and column 1.
There is API to select a particular cell. but how to invoke its startEdit method.
getTableView().getSelectionModel().clearAndSelect(getTableView().getSelectionModel().getSelectedIndex() + 1, getTableColumn());
any help will be very helpful.

I found it. Thanks.
getTableView().edit(index, tableColumn)
