JComboBox as a cell in Jtable

Hi
I added JComboBox objects as the cell values for some specific rows of a JTable.
But when I click on the combobox for the value selection, expansion is not visible. Ineterestingly, I figured out it is expanding, but at the behind the table.
I mean if last row of the table has a combobox with more values(the list length exceeds table boundaries), broken values list is displayed from the border of the table.
So it appears other combo boxes are also expanded but behind the table.
Can any one help how to make this expansion visible.?
Thanks

Read the JTable API and follow the link to the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Tables" for working examples of using a combo box in a table.

Insert a JComboBox in a cell of JTable

Hi,
I have 3 comboboxes having different items, I want to add them in different rows of a JTable. I can add a JComboBox into a column using DefaultCellEditor but it will show either all items or the Items in the last ComboBox (if I call removeAll). What can I do? Can any one help me?
Regards,

I think
you have to look for the XXXRenderer class or XXXCellEditor classes

JComboBox as a cell editor in JTable

Hi,
I've set one of my columns in my table to have a JComboBox as a cell editor. This is fine but my problem is that each row has different values in the JComboBox but when I update each row the column with the JComboBox they all end up with the same values.
All help appreciated,
Thanks,
Lou
// column with JComboBox
TableColumn myCol = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(3);
Vector comboValues = new Vector();
JComboBox myCombo = null;
for (int row = 0; row < tableModel.getRowCount(); row++)
comboValues = new Vector();
if (row == 0)
// code here to add values to comboValues
myCombo = (JComboBox) (((DefaultCellEditor) (table.getCellEditor(row, 3, .getComponent());
myCombo = new JComboBox(comboValues);
myCol.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(myCombo);
tableModel.fireTableStructureChanged();
tableModel.fireTableDataChanged();
else
// get differnent values for comboValues and update comboValues Vector
myCombo = (JComboBox) (((DefaultCellEditor) (table.getCellEditor(row, 3, .getComponent());
myCombo = new JComboBox(comboValues);
myCol.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(myCombo);
tableModel.fireTableStructureChanged();
tableModel.fireTableDataChanged();

Remember that you Table API specifies that each cell will use one instance of the specified editor...
Think about that... the same editor is being used for each cell in that column... therefore, setting the
data in the combobox et all will set it for that instance bveing used to edit the cell....

Exception raised using JComboBox with JUComboBoxBinding in a JTable

Hello,
I am using JDeveloper 9.0.3.1035.
I have a JTable bound to a bc4j view object. Now I want to use a JComboBox to select the value for a foreign key column in that Table. For this I have followed the HOWTO posted by Arno van der Kolk in Thread JClient - JTable and JComboBox which extends the OTN example "How to Add a JComboBox to a Cell in a JTable". This almost works fine except for one thing:
In the the ComboBox I display a String value but the view attribute is of type Number. Now when I edit the column using the ComboBox and the value of the selected entry cannot be converted to Number I get an exception like the following:
oracle.jbo.domain.DataCreationException: JBO-25009: Cannot create an object of type:oracle.jbo.domain.Number with value:030522 001
Even after this exception is raised the database record is updated with the correct number value corresponding to the selected entry when the changes are commited. The only w/a I have found so far is to display the foreign key attribute as the first column of the JComboBox but this is not what I want. This behaviour also occurs using the aforementioned OTN example with my JDev version but the sample works with JDev 9.0.2.
How can I get this to work using JDev 9.0.3?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Christof Breker

Setting cell editor for individual cell in JTable

Hi there,
I want to provide individual cell editor for my JTable. Basically, my JTable shows property names and values. I want to show different cell editors for different properties.
I followed the advice in this post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=423318
but I have a question:
I looked at the code of DefaultCellEditor. It just has a single editor component (the one provided in the constructor), so all the methods use the same component and certain aspects are customized for the type of component. Again, there can be only one type of component at a time.The problem that I am facing is that I will have different components for different row/column of the same table. So how do I implement some of the methods (for example, getCellEditorValue()), when I have multiple editor components?
Also, how do I commit changes made by the user?
I am extremely confused.
Someone please help!
Thanks.

Actually, that's what I am currently doing.
Here is my cell editor class:
public class ObjectPropertyEditor extends DefaultCellEditor
       public ObjectPropertyEditor()
          super(new JTextField());
          Vector list = new Vector();
          list.add("Yes");
          list.add("No");
         myCombo = new JComboBox(list);
      public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
          boolean isSelected, int row, int column)
         String colName = (String)table.getValueAt(row,0);
         if(colName.equalsIgnoreCase("Leaf-Node?")) //if it is the "Leaf" property, return the combo box as the editor
             return myCombo;
        else //for all other properties, use JTextField of the super class
            return super.getTableCellEditorComponent(table,value,isSelected,row,column);
    private JComboBox myCombo;
}The problem I have is that when I select a new item from the combo box, the new selection is not reflected in the tableModel. I don't know how I can achive that. I think I need the functionalities that DefaultCellEditor gives to its delegate when its constructor arguments is a combo box. But how can I get two different sets of functionalities (JTextField and JComboBox) ?
Please help!
Thanks.

Change the background color of a cell in JTable

Hi all,
How can I change the background color of individual cell in JTable. I need to construct my own TableCellRenderer or not? I'm now using the DefaultTableCellRenderer now.
Thx

You could create your own renderer or you could try something like:
table = new JTable(model)
     public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int row, int column)
          DefaultTableCellRenderer tcr =
           (DefaultTableCellRenderer)super.getCellRenderer(row, column);
          if (row == 1 && column == 1)
               tcr.setBackground(Color.green);
          else
               tcr.setBackground(Color.red);
          return tcr;
};

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?

How to disable a particular cell in JTable ?

I having a problem on how to set disable a particular cell in JTable. At the first place to load the JTable, I want to set some of the cell to disabled, it only will run at the first time, is there anyway to do it ?

This is the function that disable/enable cells in JTables.
Are you looking for this?
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col)
if(((new Integer((String)(getValueAt(row,0)).toString()).intValue()>9))&&(col==1))
    return true;
if(row!=4&&col!=5)
    return true;
return false;
     this metod belong to the TableModel function
and what I gave you is only an example of what you can do with it.
if it return false it disable and if true it enable the cell...but I think this you allready know!

Problem with select all cells in JTable

Hi guys! I get some problem about selecting all cells in JTable. I tried to used two methods:
1> table.selectAll()2> changeSelection(firstcell, lastcell,false,true)
firstcell:[0,0], lastcell[rowcount-1,colcount-1]
Result: only the first row selected when i use both methods.
Note: i set up the selection model as following:
this.dataSheet.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
                this.dataSheet.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
                this.dataSheet.setRowSelectionAllowed(true);
                this.dataSheet.setColumnSelectionAllowed(true);Thanks !

What selection properity should be changed in order to enable selectAll() method work properly? Is there Any constraints? Here is the TableModel I am using. And i set up selection mode use the following code:

Aligning the Text in Centre for MultiLine Cells in JTable

Hi;
Does anyone know how I could make a java table that has multiline text cells AND this multiline text is aligned to center? I tried to extend JTextArea and to implement TableRenderer - multiline was OK but it did not do anything on setHorizontalAlign. If I extend DefaultTableRender than I can align the text to center but I got no multiline...
Any ideas?
Kindly to provide me a solution for this its urgent.

Hi;
Thanks for the reply,on using Text Area as renderer i.e using Multi-Line cells in JTable, i achieved the objective of displaying the text on multiple lines in the cell."In my Table there are 5 columns and i'm setting renderer on 3rd and 5th column,If the text is too large in column 5 it automatically gets wrapped off for all the cells in column 5.For column 3 my text is not so large as compared to column 5 and due to which the Text in the column 3 starts from the top for all the cells i.e (the first row in column 3 is parallel to first row in column 5 ),Now the problem is i can't display the text in the center of all cells for Column 3 .
Thanks in advance
