JComboBox With JTable as Editor

Question

Hi everybody
I'm working with JTable and having a ComboBox as first CellEditor. for that purpose i used following code
        cmbFeeType.setModel(new javax.swing.DefaultComboBoxModel(DefaultFee.FeeTypeItemList()));       
        DefaultCellEditor DCEFeeType = new DefaultCellEditor(cmbFeeType);
        DCEFeeType.setClickCountToStart(2);here DefaultFee.FeeTypeItemList is a vector returns array. This is working fine except that the ComboBox remains visible till I dobule clik on a column for editing. Then It becomes invisible and works fine.
my JComboBox is a seperate Control on a JFrame I do not want to use
Class FeeTypeEditor extends JComboBox implements TableCellEditoras a ComboBox editor for JTable
Please Help Me.

Hi
I am giving u a sample code which simulate the error
* TestJTable.java
* Created on August 5, 2008, 11:05 AM
package TestJTable;
import javax.swing.DefaultCellEditor;
import javax.swing.table.TableColumn;
* @author  yogi
public class TestJTable extends javax.swing.JFrame {
    /** Creates new form TestJTable */
    public TestJTable() {
        initComponents();
        DefaultCellEditor ColumnEditor = new DefaultCellEditor(jComboBox1);
        ColumnEditor.setClickCountToStart(2);
        TableColumn column = jTable1.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
        column.setCellEditor(ColumnEditor);       
    /** This method is called from within the constructor to
     * initialize the form.
     * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is

    // <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code">//GEN-BEGIN:initComponents
    private void initComponents() {
        jScrollPane1 = new javax.swing.JScrollPane();
        jTable1 = new javax.swing.JTable();
        jComboBox1 = new javax.swing.JComboBox();
        setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        getContentPane().setLayout(null);
        jTable1.setModel(new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(
            new Object [][] {
                {null, null, null, null},
                {null, null, null, null},
                {null, null, null, null},
                {null, null, null, null}
            new String [] {
                "Title 1", "Title 2", "Title 3", "Title 4"
        jScrollPane1.setViewportView(jTable1);
        getContentPane().add(jScrollPane1);
        jScrollPane1.setBounds(10, 10, 340, 180);
        jComboBox1.setModel(new javax.swing.DefaultComboBoxModel(new String[] { "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4" }));
        getContentPane().add(jComboBox1);
        jComboBox1.setBounds(180, 220, 120, 20);
        pack();
    }// </editor-fold>//GEN-END:initComponents
     * @param args the command line arguments
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                TestJTable TJTable = new TestJTable();
                TJTable.setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH);               
                TJTable.setVisible(true);
    // Variables declaration - do not modify//GEN-BEGIN:variables
    private javax.swing.JComboBox jComboBox1;
    private javax.swing.JScrollPane jScrollPane1;
    private javax.swing.JTable jTable1;
    // End of variables declaration//GEN-END:variables
}Above code is generated by Netbeans IDE 6.0
My promblem is that when you run the code the combobox JComboBox1 remains visible till i starts to edit the Table after once started editing it disappears.
I want to avoid this
thanks in advance
