Focus Lost on Tree Cell Edit

I am trying to force changes made in a tree cell edit when focus to that tree node has been lost(like on an enter button press) but it always reverts to the old value. i have tried adding a CellEditorListener to force an enter key press on the editingCanceled action but this still reverts the value.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Try to use
    call method cl_gui_control=>set_focus exporting control = grid1.

  • How to handle cell events like focus lost in  jtable

    Hi,
    I have faced a problem relating jtable.Upon focus lost on particular cell the values in the other cells need to change accordingly.Out of 7 columns, upon entering an integer value in one column accordingly 3 columns need to update the values fetched from database and get disabled.The columns being updated have a combobox in which the value is to be shown.....Please look at it and provide a working solution.
    Looking forward,

  • Editing non-tree cells problem in JTreeTable

    Hello all,
    I've been playing around with the JTreeTable for quite a while and have a fairly good grip on it. However, I've run into a problem that involves the display of cell data in the non-tree cells.
    Assume I have a JTreeTable with one node below the root (and the root node is not displayed). Also assume I've edited some information in one of the other cells in a 5-celled JTreeTable. The JTreeTable behaves normally with regard to editing/setting the values of the table cells.
    Now, with the click of a separate button, I programmatically create a new node in the JTree. I update the JTree model with a call to nodeChanged() and nodeStructureChanged() (or I could call reload() - both seem to work).
    This successfully adds a node, but in the process clears the entire remainder of the table's cell values. If I call fireTableDataChanged(), then the display of the JTree gets all screwed up (basically what happens to the display if you add/remove nodes, but don't update the display in a JTree). Not only that, but the fireTableDataChanged() method still does not redisplay my cell information for the remainder of the table.
    I'm at a loss to figure out what's responsible for this. The tableCellRenderer seems to work just fine until I add node. Even then, the tableCellRenderer for the JTree still works until I call fireTableDataChanged().
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Brion Swanson

    I use a JTreeTable and in looking at my code, I've
    noticed that I make use of treeTable.repaint() fairly
    frequently (as whenever I update my stuff).Did the treeTable.updateUI do funky things to your JTree? It does on mine if I do a programmatic node addition or removal (basically any change to the tree structure will cause treeTable.updateUI() to completely destroy the display of the tree). This is a separate issue, but I thought I'd ask anyway since you seem to have run into at least a few of the same problems I'm experiencing.
    I don't fully understand your problem<snip/>
    do you mean
    it drops all edits you have done?Yes, it drops all the edits except the one currently being "edited" (that is, the selected editable cell will not lose it's value).
    I had a problem about it dropping the edits I had
    done and I resolved them by adding key listeners
    and played with the TableCellEditor.Could you elaborate on what you did to the TableCellEditor and which object you had listening to the keys (the table? or the tree? or something else?).
    You help is greatly appreciated!

  • FocusLost of jtable is not triggered when focus is lost from a cell editor.

    Hi
    I have a jtable and some columns in the table contains editable cells. I started editing a cell and, before the cell editing is stopped, i clicked another component in the panel using mouse. At that time, the focusLost() method of the table is not triggered. So that the code written in my focusLost() method of table is not working.
    If I add focuslistener to the cell editors, the focusLost() method of this cell editors are triggered at that time.
    Shall I need to add focuslistener to each cell editors used in my jtable ? Anybody know a better solution to handle this problem ?
    Regards
    Anoop

    Add this to your code.
    yourTable.putClientProperty("terminateEditOnFocusLost", Boolean.TRUE);

  • JTable discards input when focus lost

    Hi! Im running Java 1.4.2-b28.
    Problem as follows:
    I have a JTable where the user can enter som data.
    I also have a button with the caption "Minimize" that starts processing of the same data.
    If i enter a value into the table (say "foo") and press "Minimize" when the cell is in editing mode, "foo" is NOT SAVED into the JTable's TableModel! getValueAt(int row, int col) returns an old value instead!
    How can i change the focus lost behaviour on the cell? Is this a bug??

  • Setting Focus to a particular cell in JTable

    Hi, can i know how to set the focus to a particular cell in JTable.
    Say I have a table with 2 rows and 10 columns. The focus now is at position (1, 9) which is the last cell in the table. But I want to set the focus to (1, 3). How can i achieve this ? Pls help. Thanks

    OK. It's partially working. The right methods to use are setRowSelectionInterval and setColumnSelectionInterval. Jeanette was right. Mine didn't work because of a thread issue. I put the those two methods in a block such as:
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
    public void run()
    table.setRowSelectionInterval(tblLineItem.getRowCount()-1,
    table.getRowCount()-1);
    table.setColumnSelectionInterval(0,0);
    Then it worked.
    But after I finished editing the first cell of the newly created row and press ENTER, the selection went back to the cell that's next to the originally editing cell on the first(old) row, instead of staying at the current row and going to the second cell.
    Can anybody shed a light on what I'm missing?

  • Tree cell disapearing

    Hi
    I'm using Java 1.5.0.11
    I'm trying to make my own tree cell renderer and editor : the goal is to add to the standard tree cell (icon + uneditable text) an icon to the left, to indicate a certain "state". The state can be change by clicking on it, showxing a JPopupMenu to select a new one.
    In my proto, it works well, except that when I change one row, it is redrawn completely blank. I need to click on it again to have it appear.
    Any idea on why?

  • JTable and last cell edited

    Hi all,
    I have a jtable that is populated from an sql table.
    When I edit the cells, I push on a botton that updates the table.
    The problem I am facing is in the last cell edited, I need to click on another cell for me to be able to read its new value. i.e. in another word the cell needs to loose focus for me to be able to read is new values.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best regards.
    Saadi MONLA

    Seems like a bug in JTable. Best solution is probably when the routine that feeds the new values into the JTable is completed, force a focus on a different cell and then back to your cell using an API method. If an API method doesn't exist to force focus to another cell (I just looked and didn't see one) then maybe executing a repaint() or something like that will cause it to redraw correctly.

  • Feature Request: Microsoft Excel 2013 - Don't hide status bar text on focus lost (AVERAGE, COUNT, SUM)

    Could you please disable hiding of status bar text on focus lost.
    I use this in Excel 2013, where I select a few cells, then move to another Excel to write the sum of those cells as read from the status bar or to check with other values in the second window. This really makes my life easier and I see no reason to hide
    the status bar text when the window looses focus.

    Hi,
    The method REFRESH_TABLE_DISPLAY has the parameters, IS_STABLE. Set both ROW / COL parameters of IS_STABLE to 'X'.
    Then when you refresh the display will not shake.

  • Cell edit: in search for the holy control center

    Struggling with fx cell editing turned up some issues, f.i. edits not always committed as expected (by me, expectation arguable, of course : -)
    http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-15336
    http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-15366
    the last with a comment "unless the API is changed it is not possible to commit by default". Which naturally drove me into trying to understand and trace the current work-flow, visualized in scribbles of the collaborators:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/65941667@N02/6004789460/in/photostream#/
    Some verbal decoration to the picture (beware: all tainted by my ignorance : -)
    - looks like the place for client code (to a XXView, with XX == List, Table, Tree) which wants to modify its editing state is a method like
    edit(SomePosition p);
    // with
    SomePosition == int, TablePosition, ...- that method is used internally by the corresponding XX/Cell/Behaviour to either start or terminate an edit, the latter by simply setting the position to "out-off-range", like f.i. -1
    - the Cell is listening to that position and updates its editing state as appropriate. Doing so, it calls either startEdit or cancelEdit, which in turn notify the view's edit handler/s.
    - note that commitEdit is not part of the collaboration
    Now my comments:
    - there's a need for some place (be it on the cell or view level, don't know) which supports full edit semantics
    - a mere position is not strong enough to support those semantics
    - the start/commit/cancel methods on the cell are for internal usage by the cell (and its subclasses), probably shouldn't be public
    * Requests to start editing at the given position, returns true is started
    * or false if not possible for some reason
    boolean startEdit(SomePosition p);
    * Requests to terminate an edit and commit the new value, returns true is
    * committed or false if not possible for some reason.
    * Note: this is for use by external (to the cell) clients, which can't have
    * any knowledge about the current internal edited value!
    boolean commitEdit();
      * Requests to terminate an edit and throw away any new value.
    void cancelEdit();looks familiar, hehe ... sure: it's copied from Swing cell editor (the event parameter changed to a mere position). The open - and not really easy to answer - question is where to put it, and how to fit that into the all-controlled-by-listening-to-property-changes philosophy .. could be interesting.
    Cheers

  • JTable Focus Lost

    Hi All,
    I have a JTable with 6 columns and the last column has a button attached called EXPAND.
    Also I have another navigation buttons called Next, Back, Save and Refresh.
    Whenever I make changes to the cell and then click on the expand button of the 6th column, it saves my changes.
    but when i make changes to the cell and then click some where else (other than on the JTable) ...here for example on the Refresh button ...and then click on the expand button on JTable, I could not save my changes ...
    i.e. it is not invoking my focusLost ...Is there any work around for this problem ...
    I am posting my focus Lost code :
    public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
    if (jTable.getSelectedColumn() >= 0) {
    if (jTable.getColumnName(jTable.getSelectedColumn()).equalsIgnoreCase("Expand")) {
    saveData();
    Many Thanks

    the code seems to be correct....but where are you writing it?
    put the code in the wddoinit method and it should work.
    have a look at this article..

  • How to display multiple JComponents in a tree cell renderer

    I have an object in a tree cell renderer and want to display its members(three members) status in a JTree as checkboxes such that each node displays three checkboxex with member-names and a node name. i tried using a JPanel and adding three labels into this panel to be returned for the cell renderer but the GUI fails to paint the node componnents. However on clicking the node the component which isn't visible displays correctly. please Help me out
