JTable MultiSelection
I want to enable a multi selection of rows in a table - how do i get the selected rows number?
If it is only one row i can recognize it by the click on the table.....should i just do the same operation?
Make your own implementation of TableModel with a method to get the selected object:
public Object getObjectAt(int row)If you get the selected rows from the table, call this method for each rowIndex, and voila, you have the selected objects (this is how I do it, and this works).
Perhaps you can make a convenience method public List getObjects(int[] rows) to get all the objects at once

How do I get at a JTable on a JInternalFrame?
I've been working on this Multiple Document Interface application, and things have been great up to this point. The user chooses to run a "report" and then selects an entity to get the info for. I then hit the database. Each row returned from the database query goes into it's own data object, which is added to an ArrayList in my custom table model, and that ArrayList is used to generate the JTable, which is then added to a ScrollPane, which is then added to the JInternalFrame, which is then added to the JDesktop pane. Good stuff, right?
I'm now trying to add Print functionality, and I'm at a loss. What I want to do is have the user do the standard File->Print, which will print out the JTable on the currently selected inner frame. I can get a JTable to print using JTable.print(). What I can't do is find a way to get the JTable from the selected frame.
I can get the selected frame using desktop.getSelectedFrame(), but I'm at a loss as to what to do next. I've played around with .getComponent, but I'm not having any luck. the components returned don't seem to do me any good...for example, JViewPort?
Am I going about this the wrong way? Have I poorly designed this? Am I missing the obvious?
Thanks,
-AdamWell, if you only have a single component on the internal frame then you can use getComponent(0). But then you need to go up the parent chain to get the actual table. You will initially get the JScrollPane, then use that to get the JViewport and then use that to get the viewport component.
Another option is to extend the JInternalFrame class and insted using the add method to add a component you create get/setTable(...) methods. Then you can save the table as a class variable before adding it the scrollpane and adding the scrollpane to the internal frame. -
JTable - Can I change the color of the text on a row by row basis?
Hi All,
I'm redoing a bit of old uni coursework (to model a stockmarket, stock ticker server & stock ticker application) to brush up my Java skills (esp Swing and Event Handling) and am programming the UI by hand using Swing (its the only way to learn something....(I've certianly nailed Layout Management!!))
In the stocktickerserver GUI I'm using a JTable to display the details about stocks.
The user can select a stock and view the details of the stock in another frame. In one panel in the JFrame I've got a JTable listing the history items for the stock (Price, Change, Date).
Is it possible to color the rows of the JTable according to the value of the change column (or at least the value I insert there)?
e.g
if (change > 0){
Blue;
else{
if (change < 0){
Red;
else{
Green;
I'm completly ignorant on how to achieve this (or even if its possible at all) so all your ideas welcome.
Any help much appreciated
Pete
P.S.
The Stock History is a class that I store in a [private] Vector in the Stock Class.
For the selected Stock I loop through this vector getting the items (using various accessor methods)
I extract the values from the return StockHistory object and build a DefaultTableModel from these
Then I call JTable.setModel(theModel) to build the tableimplement TableCellRenderer and change foreground of the Renderer in the method getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) . Install this renderer to your table.

How to select a specific cell in a JTable?
Hi there,
in a JTable, I would like to select a specific cell (to highlight it) from a JButton.
Here a sample code...
Who could help me to fill it?
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TableSelection{
public static void main (String args[]) {
JFrame frame = new MyFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.show();
class MyFrame extends JFrame{
public MyFrame(){
setTitle("TableSelection");
setSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);
DefaultTableModel myModel = new DefaultTableModel(2,2);
JTable myTable = new JTable(myModel);
myTable.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
JButton button00 = new JButton("select 0,0");
button00.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
System.out.println("selection of cell (0,0)");
//--- what code is required to select the cell(0,0)?
JButton button11 = new JButton("select 1,1");
button11.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
System.out.println("selection of cell (1,1)");
//--- what code is required to select the cell(1,1)?
Box myBox = new Box(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
myBox.add(new JScrollPane(myTable));
myBox.add(button00);
myBox.add(button11);
getContentPane().add(myBox, BorderLayout.CENTER);
private static final int WIDTH=200;
private static final int HEIGHT=200;
}Thanks a lot for your help.
DenisUse the addColumnSelectionInterval(int index1, int index2)method ~ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html#addColumnSelectionInterval(int,%20int)
and the addRowSelectionInterval(int index1, int index2) method ~ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html#addRowSelectionInterval(int,%20int)
Hope that helped.

Create a JTable based on an ArrayList containing instances of a class.
I have a class, IncomeBudgetItem, instances of which are contained in an ArrayList. I would like to create a JTable, based on this ArrayList. One variable is a string, while others are type double. Not all variables are to appear in the JTable.
The internal logic of my program is already working. And my GUI is largely constructed. I'm just not sure how to make them talk to each other. The actually creation of the JTable is my biggest problem right now.import java.awt.Dimension;

URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR JTABLE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
firstly i made a jtable to adds and deletes rows and passes the the data to the table model from some textfields. then i wanted to add a tablemoselistener method in order to change the value in the columns 1,2,3,4 and set the result of them in the column 5. when i added that portion of code the buttons that added and deleted rows had problems to function correctly..they dont work at all..can somebody have a look in my code and see wot is wrong..thanx in advance..
below follows the code..sorry for the mesh of the code..you can use and run the code and notice the problem when you press the add button..also if you want delete the TableChanged method to see that the add button works perfect.

}There are too many mistakes in your program. It looks like you are new to java.
Your add and delete row buttons are not working because you haven't registered your action listener with these buttons.
I have modifide your code and now it works fine. Just put some validation code for the textboxes becuase it throws exception when user presses add button without entering anything.
Here is the updated code: Do the diff and u will know my changes

Can not show the JCheckBox in JTable cell
I want to place a JCheckBox in one JTable cell, i do as below:
i want the column "d" be a check box which indicates "true" or "false".
String[] columnNames = {"a","b","c","d"};
Object[][] rowData = {{"", "", "", Boolean.FALSE}};
tableModel = new DefaultTableModel(rowData, columnNames);
dataTable = new JTable(tableModel);
dataTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(3).setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(new JCheckBox()));
But when i run it, the "d" column show the string "false" or "true", not the check box i wanted.
I do not understand it, can you help me?
Thank you very much!
coral9527Do not use DefaultTableModel, create your own table model and you should implement the method
getColumnClass to display the boolean as checkbox ...
I hope the following colde snippet helps you :
class MyModel extends AbstractTableModel {
private String[] columnNames = {"c1",
"c2"};
public Object[][] data ={{Boolean.valueOf(true),"c1d1"}};
public int getColumnCount() {
//System.out.println("Calling getColumnCount");
return columnNames.length;
public int getRowCount() {
//System.out.println("Calling row count");
return data.length;
public String getColumnName(int col) {
return columnNames[col];
public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
return data[row][col];
* JTable uses this method to determine the default renderer/
* editor for each cell. If we didn't implement this method,
* then the last column would contain text ("true"/"false"),
* rather than a check box.
public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();
* Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
* editable.
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
//Note that the data/cell address is constant,
//no matter where the cell appears onscreen.
return true;
* Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
* data can change.
public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
data[row][col] = value;
fireTableCellUpdated(row, col); -
I am trying to display data from database into the JTable swing component. I can see the table and the heading coming from the vector. I cannot see why the data from the databse table is not loaded on to the Jtable. I just get a table with 6 rows blank.

I think you need to change your loop to look something like this:
while(rs.next())
Vector row = new Vector();
row.addElement( rs.getString("start_date") );
row.addElement( rs.getString("end_date") );
row.addElement( rs.getString("display_start") );
row.addElement( rs.getString("display_end") );
row.addElement( rs.getString("short_desc") );
row.addElement( rs.getString("long_desc") );
data.addElement( row );
} Then remove your data.addElement() statements found outside the loop. -
Refresh data in a jtable when data changes
I have a jtable grdTable and a tableModel mytableModel which extend abstract table model
I have a jcheckbox in the column 1 which i want to uncheck all
I am doing the following.The data is changed ,I could see by doing susyem.out.println() but the data in the table does not refreshes.
public void showTablechanges()
TableModel tm = grdTable.getModel;
for(int i=0 ;i<grdTable.getRowCount();i++)
grdTable.setValueAt(Boolean.FALSE, i, 1);
( (MyTableModel)tm).fireTableDataChanged();
grdTable.repaint();
What am i missing or what wrong I am doing.How can i make the data refresh.
I tried do a sys out after seting the value and it is showing as false but the checkbox is still checked.I have tried a lot of things but I am not able to refresh the jtable.
Please please help.
ThanksThanks so much for the reply I read the links.I modified my code as
public void showTablechanges() {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
TableModel tm = grdTable.getModel;
for (int i = 0; i < grdTable.getRowCount(); i++) {
grdTable.setValueAt(Boolean.FALSE, i, 1);
((MyTableModel) tm).fireTableDataChanged();
grdTable.repaint();
This makes no difference.What strange thing is happening out of 12 checkboxes ,11 are unchecked but the first one always remains checked.EVen without the
invoke later 11 are unchecked and 1 remains checked
This method is in a panel and this panel is invoked from another MAin panel which has a changelistener for this panel.
i.e if the method above is in myPanel.java then in my main panel,I have
myPanel.addChangeListener(this)
Also if i remove the line
((MyTableModel) tm).fireTableDataChanged();
All checkboxes remains checked.
I am really confused and this looks very tough to me ,Can you find out what is wrong
Thanks, -
Refresh jTable after inserting new data into the Database
Hey all,
I'm using Netbeans 6.5 to create a Desktop Application which is connected to a Java DB (Derby).
The first simple steps were all very successfull:
Create the jTable and bind it to the Database => everything works fine. When the application starts it correctly shows all data from the database.
The problem starts when I try to insert new data to the database.
For that reason I've created textfields and a button "Save". When I press the button it successfully inserts the data to the database but they are not displayed in the jTable (when the application starts they are all there, they are not updated at runtime) . I've tried table.invalidate() and table.repaint() but they just don't work.
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. But please have in mind that most of the code is Netbeans-generated and most of it not editable.
Many thanks in advance.
GeorgeOnce again you are right my friend. I jumped to conclusion way too fast, when I shouldn't. (Give me a break, I've been busting my head with this well over a week). The response I saw when I did that was that indeed a line is added to the jTable. Because I falsly set the index of the object to be added to be second to last the row appeared on the table, what I didn't see at the time was that the last one disappeared. Hmm...
A new adventure begins...
So after a few hours of messing around with it here are my observations:
1) It was not an observable list. When I add the new element with employeesList.add(newEmp); , the table gets notified but a get a bunch of exceptions:

... and a lot morewhich from my poor understanding means that the jTable succesfully notices the change but it is not able (??) to adjust to the new change. What is more interesting is that when I plainly add the element to the end of the list (without an idex that is), a blank row appears at the end of my Table. The weird thing is that I've bound the table to some text fields below it, and when I select that empty row all the data appear correctly to the text fields.
I tried going through:
org.jdesktop.observablecollections.ObservableCollections.observableList(employeesList).add(newEmp);as well as
help = org.jdesktop.observablecollections.ObservableCollections.observableListHelper(employeesList);
help.getObservableList().add(newEmp);
help.fireElementChanged(employeesList.lastIndexOf(newEmp));and
obsemployeesList = org.jdesktop.observablecollections.ObservableCollections.observableList(employeesList);
obsemployeesList.add(newEmp);and I still get the same results (both the exeptions and the mysterious empty row at the end of the table
So, I'm again in terrible need of your advice. I can't thank you enough for the effort you put into this.
Best regards,
George

This code displays the same data on the JTextArea everytime i select each row,but my requirement is ,it has to refresh and display different datas in the JTextArea accordingly,as i select each row.Please help.Its urgent.
Message was edited by: Samyuktha
SamyukthaPlease help.Its urgentThen why didn't you use the formatting tags to make it easier for use to read the code?
Because of the above I didn't take a close look at your code, but i would suggest you should be using a ListSelectionListener to be notified when a row is selected, then you just populate the text area. -
hi, i hava a problem, i have a jtable where same Data column depend from another column of the same jtable and a jtextfield that is external to jtable
my jtable is
jcombobox | text | text | text ecc....
when the user change the SelectedItem of jcombobox the other column`s data is jacombobox values * external JtextField text....
if i change the value of the external jtextfield how can i refresh the data in the jtable whitout click over all cell???
this is the code of the My CellRender of the first column:
public class MyComboBoxRenderer extends JComboBox implements TableCellRenderer {
JTable jt;
PortataUgelli pug;
public MyComboBoxRenderer(String[] items,JTable table,PortataUgelli pu) {
super(items);
this.jt=table;
this.pug=pu;
addItemListener(new java.awt.event.ItemListener() {
public void itemStateChanged(java.awt.event.ItemEvent evt){
if (jt.getSelectedColumn()==0){ //This action is only for the first column
String ugello= (String)getSelectedItem();
if (ugello==null) ugello=""+0;
double b=Double.parseDouble(pug.getPressione().trim());
String par="" + new VariID().getFunzioneUgelli(ugello,b); //this method calculate the value of the other cell
int sel;
if (jt.getSelectedRow() < 0) sel=0;
else sel = jt.getSelectedRow();
jt.setValueAt(par,sel,1); //set the value of the cell
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
if (isSelected) {
setForeground(table.getSelectionForeground());
super.setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
} else {
setForeground(table.getForeground());
setBackground(table.getBackground());
// Select the current value
setSelectedItem(value);
return this;
}It's fairly simple...
you need to have your own custom TableModel. Extend AbstractTableModel and when you go to set a cell (to change the data in that cell) you simply fire an event with the:
fireTableCellUpdated(int row, int column) method to let the view know that the data changed in that cell of that table changed and needs to be redrawn...
Here's the link to the tutorial page/section on creating a custom table model and also firing events when data changes:

How can I read the last cell of a JTable that a user Enters data
I have a one column JTable with several rows that a user enters data to. Upon entering the last data, the user clicks a button to read all the data from the rows in the JTable and puts them in an arraylist. If the user does not click enter or navigates away from the last cell, then after clicking the button it does not read the last cell entered. Since the user is clicking on a button to indicate he is done entering data on the table, does he also have to hit the enter key to indicate he is done entering the data?
The code below is my tablemodelListener:
public class InteractiveTableModelListener implements TableModelListener {
public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent evt) {
if (evt.getType() == TableModelEvent.UPDATE) {
int row = evt.getFirstRow();
System.out.println("Update row:"+" "+row);
jTable1.setRowSelectionInterval(row, row);
}Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.
In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing fourm. (This question has been asked and answered dozens of times).
But there is not need to repost because [Table Stop Editing|http://www.camick.com/java/blog.html?name=table-stop-editing] explains whats happening and give a couple of solutions. -
How to refresh an existing row of a JTable
Hi all,
I have to refresh the data of an existing row of a JTable after some time in thread. The code snippet is
DefaultTableModel model=new DefaultTableModel(data,columnNames);
table = new JTable(model)
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col)
return false;
Now I also add rows to this table within the run() of the thread as
model.addRow(new Object []{sub1,sub6,sub12,sub3,sub18});
My problem is that I want to refresh the data of this added row within the thread.
Any help is highly appreciable. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Har KrishanHmmm. His qhestion does not seem to be with how to change the value of a field, but how to get the table to recognize the change. I thought such things were automatic. The model fires a value changed event and the JTable picks up the event and refreshes. I'm not sure why your table is not refreshing under these circumstances. Perhaps a more complete code snippet. Please use the open and close code tags to format your code if you include it.
