JTable inside JTable cell
Hello. I'm trying to see if it's at all possible to have a JTable inside a JTable cell. I tried modifying those 'JButton inside JCell' examples, to no avail - it seems I didn't actually grasp the idea.
so anyway - did anyone ever do that? have a table inside a table? anyone can point me in the right direction?
thanks.

direction?You need a custom renderer and custom editor and most likely custom TableModels for each table. There are row height issues as well, especially if the rows/columns of the inner tables are variable. The getValueAt() method will require some thought. What is the value associated with all the cells in the inner table?
All in all, this is doable, but may not be desirable.

JTable inside JTable cell: drag and drop
Hello. I've table (let's call it ParentTable), which cells contain other table (NestedTable). NestedTable recieves all events (I can move cursor, select cells by mouse, scroll table). ParentTable have enabled Drag nad Drop (D'n'D). When no cells in NestedTable are selected D'n'D works fine. When I select some cell in NestedTable, D'n'D does't work � it forbids the operation. I think this is because NestedTable recieves D'n'D events, but D'n'D is disabled for it. How can I work around this? I don't want to enable D'n'D for each NestedTable (there are several reasons for this).
The question is � can I pass to NestedTable all events, except of D'n'D ones?Yes, I use custom cell renderer and cell editor for ParentTable, which returns NestedTable.
DnD turned on for the ParentTable, so when the NestedTable is active (some cells selected in it) it receives DnD events, which are turned off for it, and DnD doesn't work.
Possible solution is to turn DnD for NestedTable (not for ParentTable), and i'll do this if it is impossible to make it work in current configuration.
So the question is � is this possible do not pass DnD event to NestedTable ? -
Hello!
I have a JTable with 3 rows... I want to do something like this:
In the last column of each row, there is a button... When I click this button, a table should appear above the current row...
Is there any way to do it?
ThanksI read the Java tutorial about the GlassPane. If I let it visible, it will block all mouse events, which is not what I want I think. Assume I use the GlassPane, I will store the inner JTable as the value in the outer JTable cells, and I use a customized cell renderer to draw the JTable. When mouse clicks on one of the inner JTable cells, the editor takes over, and draws the inner JTable again. Am I on the right track here?
Thanks for refering me to the GlassPane! -
Multiple JButtons inside JTable cell - Dispatch mouse clicks
Hi.
I know this subject has already some discussions on the forum, but I can't seem to find anything that solves my problem.
In my application, every JTable cell is a JPanel, that using a GridLayout, places vertically several JPanel's witch using an Overlay layout contains a JLabel and a JButton.
As you can see, its a fairly complex cell...
Unfortunately, because I use several JButtons in several locations inside a JTable cell, sometimes I can't get the mouse clicks to make through.
This is my Table custom renderer:
public class TimeTableRenderer implements TableCellRenderer {
Border unselectedBorder = null;
Border selectedBorder = null;
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,
boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
if (value instanceof BlocoGrid) {
if (isSelected) {
if (selectedBorder == null)
selectedBorder = BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,2,2,2, table.getSelectionBackground());
((BlocoGrid) value).setBorder(selectedBorder);
} else {
if (unselectedBorder == null)
unselectedBorder = BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,2,2,2, table.getBackground());
((BlocoGrid) value).setBorder(unselectedBorder);
return (Component) value;
}and this is my custom editor (so clicks can get passed on):
public class TimeTableEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {
private TimeTableRenderer render = null;
public TimeTableEditor() {
render = new TimeTableRenderer();
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
if (value instanceof BlocoGrid) {
if (((BlocoGrid) value).barras.size() > 0) {
return render.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, true, row, column);
return null;
public Object getCellEditorValue() {
return null;
}As you can see, both the renderer and editor return the same component that cames from the JTable model (all table values (components) only get instantiated once, so the same component is passed on to the renderer and editor).
Is this the most correct way to get clicks to the cell component?
Please check the screenshot below to see how the JButtons get placed inside the cell:
http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=calendarxo9.jpg
If you need more info, please say so.
Thanks.My mistake... It worked fine. The cell span code was malfunctioning. Thanks anyway.

Setting two JTextFields inside JTable cell
hi,
I am really stick trying to figure out how to set two cells inside a JTable cell. This needs to be done because if there is a value already inside the cell then i want to drop another value - this new value should be displayed inside another cell but along with the other value already in the cell.
I assume that i would need to create two JTextFields.
But can anyone help me further please.That should be a simple issue of customizing table cell editor and renderer.
See tutorials. -
Combobox Autocomplete editor inside Jtable cell
I have a custom combobox editor which supports the autocomplete feature as follows:
as soon as the user keys in any character, this editor searches for the item that starts with keyed in character. This item is displayed in the editor text field and the combobox popup is set to visible and the this item is set to selected.
this editor works fine when standalone. but the popup fails to become visible when this combobox is used as an celleditor inside jtable. infact the focus is lost from the entire table.
can anyone suggest the possible reason (and solution if possible).
following are the code snippets for the same: -

break;

**************You need to create a custom CellEditor which will prevent these problems from occurring. The explanation behind the problem and source code for the new editor can be found at Thomas Bierhance's site http://www.orbital-computer.de/JComboBox/. The description of the problem and the workaround are at the bottom of the page.

Hi,
I have a custom JList Renderer/Editor inside a JTable. Both the renderer and editor seem to be working fine, but if the List contains more data than will fit in the table cell, you can't see the rest of the data. I have a separate class for the renderer and the editor (both of which extend JList) and I have tried using the setAutoscrolls method and creating a JScrollPane in the constructor, neither of which seems to work. How can I put a scrollable JList as a cell in a JTable?Hi jhooie,
Will you please send me the working codes for creating the JList inside JTable. I am in urgent need of the help.
My email id is [email protected]
Thank you,

JTextArea inside Jtable - Tab, Focus issues
I am facing the following problems with JTextArea inside Jtable Cell
1. blinking cursor not visible on the cell(0,0) first time the UI is shown, although it has the focus
2. blinking cursor not visible on the 5th column (JTextArea) when it receives the focus nor the characters are visible when i start typing. i have to manually double click to force the focus to shift to the cell.
3. focus does not shit out of the 5th column (JTextArea) after pressing the tab key or enter key once. i have to do that twice to force the focus out.
Following is the code which i have implemented. Please let me know what is being missed out to rectify the above problems.

}Sorry for reposting this again...I didn't format the code in my previous post.
I am facing the following problems with JTextArea inside Jtable Cell
1. blinking cursor not visible on the cell(0,0) first time the UI is shown, although it has the focus
2. blinking cursor not visible on the 5th column (JTextArea) when it receives the focus nor the characters are visible when i start typing. i have to manually double click to force the focus to shift to the cell.
3. focus does not shit out of the 5th column (JTextArea) after pressing the tab key or enter key once. i have to do that twice to force the focus out.
Following is the code which i have implemented. Please let me know what is being missed out to rectify the above problems.
Thanks.

Tab inside JTable (works for any key but tab)
Hi there
I have looked on the internet and forums for the answer to how to do this, but I have had no solution.
I have a JTable and the second column is full of editable cells. The requirement is that when a cell is being edited and tab is pressed, that the editor moves to the next editable cell. (In this case the one below it.)
I can get the code to work for pressing an arbitrary key (like F11) but for tab I cannot get it to work.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Many kind regards,
RachelHi Rachel,
I did this some time ago for a small project. Please note that the code that I'm pasting is a little too specific for your goal, but you'll be able to modify it so that it works.
public class TableKeyboardAction extends AbstractAction {
* Constructs a TableKeyboardAction.
public TableKeyboardAction() {
super();
} //end constructor
* Deals with all keyboard focus movement caused by the TAB, SHIFT+TAB & ENTER keys.
* @param ae The ActionEvent indicating that either TAB, SHIFT+TAB or ENTER has been
* pressed.
* @see java.awt.event.ActionListener#actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent)
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
JTable table = (JTable)ae.getSource();
String ac = ae.getActionCommand();
boolean tab = ac.equals("\t");
boolean enter = ac.equals("\n");
if (tab && (ae.getModifiers() & KeyEvent.SHIFT_MASK) == KeyEvent.SHIFT_MASK) tab = false;
int row = table.getSelectedRow();
int col = table.getSelectedColumn();
//if tab or enter has been pressed
if (tab || enter) {
TableCellEditor tce = table.getCellEditor();
//if the first column
if (col == 1) {
//if the cell is currently being edited
if (tce != null) {
//if the cell can stop being edited
if (tce.stopCellEditing()) {
if (table.isCellEditable(row, col+1)) table.changeSelection(row, col+1, false, false);
else {
((DoubleTableModel)table.getModel()).fireTableDataChanged();
table.changeSelection(row, col, false, false);
else {
//if tab has been pressed
if (tab) {
Double val = (Double)table.getValueAt(row, col);
if (val == null) table.transferFocus();
else if (table.isCellEditable(row, col+1)) table.changeSelection(row, col+1, false, false);

if (tce != null) {

if (tce.stopCellEditing()) {
//if it's not the first row in the table
if (row != 0) {
if (table.isCellEditable(row-1, col+1)) table.changeSelection(row-1, col+1, false, false);
else {
((DoubleTableModel)table.getModel()).fireTableDataChanged();
table.changeSelection(row, col, false, false);
else {
//if it's not the first row in the table
if (row != 0) {
if (table.isCellEditable(row-1, col+1)) table.changeSelection(row-1, col+1, false, false);
else table.transferFocusBackward();
else {
//if the cell is being edited
if (tce != null) {

if (tce.stopCellEditing()) {
if (table.isCellEditable(row, col-1)) table.changeSelection(row, col-1, false, false);
else {

table.changeSelection(row, col, false, false);
else {
if (table.isCellEditable(row, col-1)) table.changeSelection(row, col-1, false, false);
} //end actionPerformed
} //end class
Now use it like so:
JTable table = new JTable();
table.getInputMap(JTable.WHEN_FOCUSED).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, 0), "next");
table.getInputMap(JTable.WHEN_FOCUSED).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, KeyEvent.SHIFT_MASK),"next");
table.getActionMap().put("next", new TableKeyboardAction());Hope it works for you!

How to use tables: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html
Also worth asking yourself whether you really are better off with tables within tables, or if it's more appropriate to simply use a 10x6 table. Might be one, might be the other. -
JTable Multi-Span Cell Example
Searched the Forum und Google for the "JTable Multi-Span Cell Example" and always found this Link :
http://www2.gol.com/users/tame/swing/examples/SwingExamples.html
But the Examples are only working with JDK 1.3.1, JDK 1.4.1 and JDK 1.4.2 aren`t working anymore.
What do i have to change, or are there any new examples for Multi-Span Cells in the JTable provided by SUN ?In AttributiveTableCellModel.java, rewrite the following function:
public void setDataVector(Vector newData, Vector columnNames) {
if (newData == null)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("setDataVector() - Null parameter");
dataVector = new Vector(0);
setColumnIdentifiers(columnNames);
dataVector = newData;
super.setDataVector(newData, columnNames);
cellAtt = new DefaultCellAttribute(newData.size(),
columnIdentifiers.size());
newRowsAdded(new TableModelEvent(this, 0, getRowCount()-1,
TableModelEvent.ALL_COLUMNS, TableModelEvent.INSERT));

I have a jcombobox inside jtable.now i want to access its items by keys only..without using F2 key.for example if i press 's' key..the whole combobox shud popup and value 'string' is selected.please help me regarding this.
I am not sure if I understand your question exactly. Your table's row height is not high enough so you may need to add a line of code like:
table.setRowHeight(table.getRowHeight() + 4);to solve your problem. -
