How to get the current selected column and row

Question

Hi,
A difficult one, how do i know which column (and row would also be nice) of a JTable is selected?
e.g.
I have a JButton which is called "Edit" when i select a cell in the JTable and click the button "Edit" a new window must be visible as a form where the user can edit the a part of a row.
Then the column which was selected in the JTable must be given (so i need to know current column) and then i want the TextField (the one needed to be edited) be active with requestFocus(). So it would be
pricetextfield.requestFocus();
Problem now is that i have to click every time in the window the JTextField which was selected in the JTable. I have chosen for this way of editing because my application is multi-user and it would be too difficult for me when everybody did editing directly (catch signals, reload data, etc.).
My question is how do I know the current column and the current row in a JTable?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what your mean by the "current" row or column, but the following utility methods return
which row and column have focus within the JTable.
public static int getFocusRow(JTable table) {
    return table.getSelectionModel().getLeadSelectionIndex();
public static int getFocusColumn(JTable table) {
    return table.getColumnModel().getSelectionModel().getLeadSelectionIndex();
}
