Problem with stopCellEditing in JTable
hi there,
i have a JTable whose model is of defaultTableModel. after entering the values in the table and i click the button im not able to get the values from the cells. i have to click else where to get the values of the cells. i tried using table.getCellEditor().StopCellEditing() still no use. actually the stopCellEditing only tells if the cell is still in the edit mode or not but it does not stop the editing. i even tried using editCellAT(row,col) forcibly in the particular cell and then used stopCellEditing even then it does not fetch me the values in the first time , but again if i click the button im getting the cell values. is there any way to forcibly stop the table cell editing???
thanx,
viji
just this bunch of errors when i clicked the button that calls the AbstactTableModel to perform a firetabledatachangedWell, you should never have a button that invokes fireTableDataChanged.
The TableModel should be responsible for invoking those methods.
I suggest you look at the code for the DefaultTableModel for the proper way to write a TableModel. Basically you create methods to update the model. The model in turn fires the events to notify the view to repaint itself.

Problem with fireTableDataChanged in JTable
Hi everybody,
i have a really frustrating problem with Jtable. I created a class to display the jtable and a class that extends AbstactTableModel to use as its model. I can update my table after a fireTableDataChanged method in the class that extend the AbstractTableModel, but after implementing a ListSelectionListener to the class that displays the jtable, it gives a big bunch of errors in the console of my ide, when i remove it, it went back to normal without any errors.
Anyways, my program still can run without problem and the table still can refresh, just this bunch of errors when i clicked the button that calls the AbstactTableModel to perform a firetabledatachanged
anybody got this problem? how did you guys solve it?

Problem with checkbox in JTable when using MyTableModel
Hi all,
I have been trawling these message boards for days looking for the answer to my question but have not had any success.
I am extending AbstractTabel model to create MyTableModel which returns a vector containing the results of a MySql query. One column in this query returns a "0" or "1" which I then store as the boolean value into the vector so that it is rendered as a checkbox on the screen.
I have also overridden the setValueAt method. THe problem is that when I attempt to check the box in the table, the checkbox isn't actually checking.
Do I need to implement some sort of listener which picks up the user clicking the box and refresh the model?
Here is my model code:
public class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
private Vector v = null;
int listId;
MyTableModel(int listId){
this.listId = listId;
v = new ListItemManagement().getFullList(listId);
public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
switch(c) {
case 6:
return Boolean.class;
default:
return Object.class;
public String getColumnName(int colIndex){
return ((String[])v.get(0))[colIndex];
public int getColumnCount() {
return ((String[])v.get(0)).length;
public int getRowCount() {
return (v.size() - 1);
public Object getValueAt(int rowIndex, int colIndex) {
return ((Object[])v.get(rowIndex + 1))[colIndex];
public void setValueAt(Object aValue, int rowIndex, int colIndex) {
System.out.println("Value: " + String.valueOf(aValue));
Object row[] = (Object[]) v.elementAt(rowIndex);
if(colIndex<6){
row[colIndex] = (String)aValue;
else{
row[colIndex] = (Boolean)aValue;
v.setElementAt(row, rowIndex);
fireTableCellUpdated(rowIndex, colIndex);
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
//Note that the data/cell address is constant,
//no matter where the cell appears onscreen.
return ! (col < 6);
}Here is the getFullList function which returns the vector:
rs = stmt.executeQuery();
ResultSetMetaData colData = rs.getMetaData();
int columnCount = colData.getColumnCount();
String[] columnNames = new String[columnCount];
for (int i = 0; i < columnCount; i++){
columnNames[i] = colData.getColumnName(i + 1);
Vector v = new Vector();
v.add(columnNames);
while (rs.next()){
Object[] values = new Object[columnCount];
for (int i = 0; i < (columnCount-1); i++){
values[i] = rs.getString(i + 1);
int sel = rs.getInt("selected");
System.out.println(sel);;
if(sel==0){
values[columnCount-1]=new Boolean(false);
else if (sel==1)
values[columnCount-1]=new Boolean(true);
v.add(values);
rs.close();
stmt.close();
return v;Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
I've looked at the Swing jtable tutorial and added a TableModelListener and have managed to achieve the desired results but for one thing.
When I attempt to check the box on the first row of the jTable I get a runtime error:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ArrayStoreException: java.lang.Boolean
at project.MyTableModel.setValueAt(MyTableModel.java:65)
I have been playing around with the setValueAt method and it is in my original post. Here is how it currently looks:
public void setValueAt(Object aValue, int rowIndex, int colIndex) {
System.out.println("Value: " + String.valueOf(aValue));
Object row[] = (Object[]) v.elementAt(rowIndex);
if(colIndex<6){
row[colIndex] = (String)aValue;
else{
if(getValueAt(rowIndex,colIndex).toString()=="true"){
row[6] = new Boolean(false);
else{
row[6] = new Boolean(true);
v.setElementAt(row, rowIndex);
fireTableCellUpdated(rowIndex, colIndex);

Problem with Checkbox in JTable
This table here displays data from my MS Access database. It has 3 columns. Also I added the 4th column where this column contains checkboxes where I can select any row from the table. The checkboxes won't show except this "javax.swing.JCheckBox[,0,0,0x0,invalid,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1571886,flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=2,bottom=2,right=2],paintBorder=false,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=]". I have no problem displaying the table. Here's my coding.
public Contact() {
super(new GridLayout(1,0));
Vector heading = new Vector();
heading.addElement("Name");
heading.addElement("Contact number");
heading.addElement("Detail");
heading.addElement(new JCheckBox(););
Vector data = new Vector();
try
// Load the Database Driver Class
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
System.out.println("Driver loaded successfully.");
// Establish a connection with parameter values for

System.out.println("Connection established successfully.");
try

String sql = "SELECT * FROM Contact";
String[] columnNames = {"Name", "Contact Number", "Detail"};

Where have I gone wrong? Please help.First of all:
a) Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags", so the posted code retains its original formatting.
http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting
b) In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
Now for the answer to your question, read the JTable API. You will find a link to the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Tables" which shows you the proper way to display Boolean data with a JCheckBox renderer. -
Problem with Starting Edit JTable after Enter Pressed
Hi.
Who knows what to do in such case:
I have JTable. When I press ENTER on Cell - the editing process must begin, like it happens when I make Double Click on Cell.The KeyStroke to invoke editing on a cell is the "F2" key. So you want to map the Enter Action to be the same as the F2 Action.
This posting shows how to remap the Action for the Enter key:

Problem with JTable and JPanel
Hi,
I'm having problems with a JTable in a JPanel. The code is basicly as follows:
public class mainFrame extends JFrame
public mainFrame()
//A menu is implemeted giving rise to the following actions:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
String arg = evt.getActionCommand();
if(arg.equals("Sit1"))
//cells, columnNames are initiated correctly
JTable table = new JTable(cells,columnNames);
JPanel holdingPanel = new JPanel();
holdingPanel.setLayout( new BorderLayout() );
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(holdingPanel);
holdingPanel.setBackground(Color.white);
holdingPanel.add(table,BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(scrollPane, "Center");
if(arg.equals("Sit2"))
if(scrollPane !=null)
remove(scrollPane);validate();System.out.println("ScrollPane");
if(holdingPanel !=null)
remove(holdingPanel);
if(table !=null)
remove(table);table.setVisible(false);System.out.println("table");
//Put other things on the holdingPanel....
private JScrollPane scrollPane;
private JPanel holdingPanel;
private JTable table;
}The problem is that the table isn't removed. When you choose another situation ( say Sit2), at first the table apparently is gone, but when you press with the mouse in the area it appeared earlier, it appears again. How do I succesfully remove the table from the panel? Removing the panel doesn't seem to be enough. Help is much appreciated...
Best regards
SchwartzIf you reuse the panel and scroll pane throughout the application,
instantiate them in the constructor, not in an often-called event
handler. In the event handler, you only do add/remove of the table
on to the panel. You can't remove the table from the container
which does not directly contain it.
if (arg.equals("Sit2")){
holdingPanel.remove(table);
holdingPanel.revalidate();
holdingPanel.repaint(); //sometimes necessary

Problem with setCursor for JButton in cell on JTable
i have a problem with setCursor to JButton that is in a cell of the JTable}
this is the code
public class JButtonCellRenderer extends JButton implements TableCellRenderer {
public JButtonCellRenderer() {
setOpaque(true);
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
int row, int column) {
if (isSelected) {
setForeground(table.getSelectionForeground());
setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
else {
setForeground(table.getForeground());
setBackground(Color.WHITE);
setBorder(null);
if(table.getValueAt(row,column) == null){
setText("");
if(isSelected){
setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
}else{
setBackground(Color.WHITE);
}else{
if(table.getValueAt(row,column) instanceof JButton){
JButton _button = (JButton)table.getValueAt(row,column);
if(_button.getText().trim().equals("")){
setText("<html>"+ "<font size=\"3\" COLOR=\"#0000FF\"><u><b>Ver...</b></u></font>"+"");
}else{
setText("<html>"+ "<font size=\"3\" COLOR=\"#0000FF\"><u><b>" + _button.getText() + "</b></u></font>"+"");
return this;
}Not quite sure I understand the problem, but I guess you have tried to call setCursor on your renderer and found it didn't work? The reason, I think, is that the renderer only renders a JButton. The thing that ends up in the table is in fact only a "picture" of a JButton, and among other things it won't receive and interact with any events, such as MouseEvents (so it wouldn't know that the cursor should change).
There are at least two alternatives for you: You can perhaps use a CellEditor instead of a CellRenderer. Or you can add a MouseListener to the table and then use the methods column/rowAtPoint to figure out if the cursor is over your JButton cell and change the cursor yourself if it is. -
Hello,
i have a selection problem with JTable. I want to allow only single cell selection and additionally limit the selection to the first column.
I preffered the style from MS Outlook Express where you can select the email accounts to edit.
It is a table like this:
Account name | Type | ...
--------------|---------|---------------------
Hotmail | POP3 |
GMX | IMAP |The selection should be only avaibable at 'Hotmail' or 'GMX' - not at 'POP3', 'IMAP' or as complete row selection.
Please help me!
Thanks.

Hello folks,
i got two problems with a JTable.
1. how do I change the size of a table header???
2. I know that it is possible to set different column-sizes. The problem in my table is that I don't know how long some cells are. In this case, I want to to get the biggest cell of one column and set its size as the default size of that specific column.
Is that possilbe?
Hopefully you can help me out,
thank youA JTableHeader is just another Component, so you ought to be able to set its size like you would
any other component; however, since its function is to act as a header for a table, it might constrain
itself to fit the table.
In order to size the column to fit the largest cell, for each row, go through each column and get the
renderer component for that column (which configures the component for rendering) and get the width
of that component. If that's bigger than the column's current width, set its width and preferred width.
You'll also want to check the renderer component width for the header to make sure the header doesn't
get truncated if the column doesn't have a cell whose value is longer than the header.

Scrollbar problem with JTable.
Hi,
I have 45 columns in a JTable. Please remember this is customize, we can change the number of columns dynamically, at max they can be 2 columns.
i was having a problem with display the columns names in my Frame. I posted at http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5167358&messageID=9641265#9641265
I got the solution. Thanks for that.
But as i said these columns are customized.
when i am having 2 columns in my JTable, table.setAutoResizeMode( JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF ); is behaving differently, it's not occupying the complete JFrame. Lots of space is left out beside these 2 columns.
When i comment this line, then those 2 columns are occupying my complete Frame.
these two colmns should occupy my complete Frame and if i select 45 columns i should get scroll bar at botton with complete column NAMES.
Hope i am clear.

I have a problem with applying a custom renderer. I know the renderer works so thats not the problem. If I do like this:
DefaultTableModel aDefaultTableModel = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames);
it works. But if I do like this:
DefaultTableModel aDefaultTableModel;
aDefaultTableModel.setDataVector(data, columNames);
is doesn't, why?I think maybe it's not the renderer at all. It may be my custom TableModel thats causing problems. Now this doesn't work:
private JTable aTable;
private CustomTableModel aTableModel;
public MyProgram() {
aTableModel = new CustomTableModel();
aTable = new JTable(aTableModel);
aTableModel.setData(data, columnNames);
private class CustomTableModel {
private String[] columnNames = null;
private Object[][] data = null;
public CustomTableModel() {
columnNames = new String[0];
data = new Object[0][0];
... snip
public void setData(Object[][] data, String[] columnNames) {
this.data = data;
this.columnNames = columnNames;
fireTableDataChanged();
... snip
Now, why doesn't that setData method work?? -
Hi,
I have encountered a problem with JTable, i am trying to display some 15 columns and their values , one of the columns value is null, then the JTable is not displaying its value from this column(which is with null value) onwards.
Can anybody assiss me in this matter.
Regards
khiz_engI don't know If I can fix your problem, but
I know just that it works on my PC.... It's very very
slow... I don't know how to insert PageSetUp option... I have to study the problem.....
However I don't think it's a hard problem....
I want ask to you if you have found some problems when you are in Editing mode in a cell.....
in the jdk1.2 version I could save while was in editing mode using the editingStopped method.
It permit to update all data .... also the data in the cell I was editing.
in the jdk 1.3 if I use this method It doesn't work properly... It maybe destroy the content object in the Cell..... because I'm able to print all the table except the editing cell (it throw an exception...)
What's changed????
I don't know...
Can u help me? -
Hi !
I have a problem with JTable - would like to use this component as a simple list of rows taken from a database : don't want to be able select or set a focus to a column - want only to be able select and set focus to a row ( just like in the menus). How to disable "focusability" for a cell with JTable ? Could You help me ?
thnx in advanceThe Border is changed by the renderer, depending on whether the cell has focus or not. So you will need to create custom renderers without a Border. Something like:
class NoBorderRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
setBorder(null);
return this;
