Tab order of the JTable cell

Hello there:
I noticed on a JTable component, the default transversing order of the cells when pressing tab key is from left to right, row by row. Now if I want the order to be from top to bottom, column by column. How can I do it?
Thanks,
Sway

How do you set Tab Order using the Articles window in CC?

I am in CC 9.2.
The work flow I described below was working but then I upgraded and alas no joy.
The instruction I found here seems to be obsolete for cc9.2. Tab order through the articles doesn't seem to work any longer.
Basically. I have a log form with 3 text columns and 3 checkbox columns.
I created the first group of fields.
I created the article as instructed.
I then stepped and repeated 10 times.
When exporting to an interactive PDF, its not flowing in the order that I listed them
As the other user stated "object/interactive/tab order" window is way to painful of a process. Can anyone help?

I guess this confirms. Adobe... it worked before... do I need to down version my files? Because I have over a hundred forms I need to create and manually having to set each text box is going to be a major time and budget issue.

Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?

Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form? Doesn't appear to be a property. I don't see a programmatic method. I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person
doesn't edit the field? No event would be fired.

Hi Jim,
>>Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?
I am afraid you could not. In Web applications, the tab order is set automatically and cannot be changed.
(From
https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Set-the-tab-order-for-controls-3d7f749c-5a53-42b2-bb0e-2323fa044e2e)
>> I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person doesn't edit the field? No event would be fired.
The goto method is a workaround, but it should be triggered by a specific event. What I can figure out is changing the order of the fields.
If this is a feature you want to include in future versions of Access Web app, please submit a feedback as the picture below:

Resizing the JTable Cell horizontal width

Sir/Madam,
How can i resize the JTable cell's horizontal width. I know the JTable's column width can be resized. I dont want to resize the entire JTable column. But i need to resize individual JTable cell's horizontal width. Thanks in advance.

I think that's not possible. What kind of results are you expecting ? If the cells of a column are different widths, what are you going to do with the extra space of the narrower cells ?
What are you displaying in the cells ? Maybe you can narrow the contents of the cells, and not the cells.

How to make the jtable celles intouchable !!

HI!
i am using jtable in my application and i am aiming at some specefities:
- i don't wana to allow the uset to drag and drop any cells or to change the order of one cell by another .
- i don't want him to edit a text in any cell of the jtable
actually, to resume everything, i want the jtable to be static one, and not changeable .
any help will be really appreciated.
thanks

try importing javax.swing.JTable.*;
there must be another class in javax.swing.*; that also has a getTableHeader() or setReorderingAllowed() method and the compiler is not sure which method to use. When in doubt, always import the specific class you want to use. Example:
TestTable tt = new javax.swing.JTable(); // no confusion with this
// declaration.
At least, I think that should solve your problem. When you import a general library (like swing), there's always the possibility of using methods or fields that can belong to more than one class. Let me know if that works.

Is tabbing through all the active cells of a table possible?

hi...
i need to tab through the active cells which are already not seen on the table. i mean i can only tab through the cells which i see, i need to use the horizontal scrollbar to move to the cells which are not already seen.
can i programmatically change this behaviour?
i used the example program below to disable a part of the table.
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2163
then i noticed this behaviour. hope its the same with arrays also.
please reply with your valuable suggestions
thanks in advance

Putting icon in the Jtable cell

Can I put the Icon or image in the table cell.?
I am Using Jtable and default model for that.
Waht should be done to place the icon or image in particular cell which will be based on some condition check.
thank you
sumant

Read the [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#sorting]Table Sorting example. An icon is placed in the header to indicate the direction of the sort. They probably use a custom renderer since the header assumes the data for the headers is a String Object.

Which decide the JTable cell renderer behavior

Hi,
I have a subclass of JTable in which I overwrite the JTable.valueChanged() function ( which is used to implement the ListSelectionListener)
I have called setCellSelectionEnabled(true); to enable only the cell selection
I find if I don't call super.valueChanged() in myTable. valueChanged() method, the table rendering is in correct. For example,
first I select cell at row=2, col=3 (2, 3),
the cell get rendered.
then I select cell (0,3).
I find no any cell get rerendered.
but I hope this time the previous selected cell and the new selected cell are re-rendered.
This problem only happens on the same column.
If I first select cell (2,3) then select cell (2,5), then both of these cell get rerendered as I want.
However, If I call super.valueChanged(), all the cell re-render works fine.
I can see in the JTable.valueChanged(), it has varibles as:
lastSelectedRow, lastSelectedCol, but I don't find them used in any tableCellRenderer.
I wonder where in the JTable code or any related code it call the table cell renderer when cell selection changed?
Thanks

I overwrite the JTable.valueChanged() function ( which is used to implement the ListSelectionListener)I would think you should use the getSelectionModel() method and then add a ListSelectionListener to the selection model.
If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
so the posted code retains its original formatting.

Previous entered value is lost when double click in the Jtable cell.

How to catch the mouse event from the JTable cell of the DefaultCellEditor

Hi, my problem is:
I have a JTable with the cells of DefaultCellEditor(JComboBox) and added the mouse listener to JTable. I can catch the mouse event from any editor cell when this cell didn't be focused. However, when I click the editor to select one JComboBox element, all the mouse events were intercepted by the editor.
So, how can I catch the mouse event in this case? In other word, even if I do the operation over the editor, I also need to catch the cursor position.
Any idea will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Hi, bbritta,
Thanks very much for your help. Really, your code could run well, but my case is to catch the JComboBox event. So, when I change the JTextField as JComboBox, it still fail to catch the event. The following is my code. Could you give me any other suggestion?
Also, any one has a good idea for my problem? I look forward to the right solution to this problem.
Thanks.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test3
extends JFrame {
// JTextField jtf = new JTextField();
Object[] as = {"aa","bb","cc","dd"};
JComboBox box = new JComboBox(as);
public Test3() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Container content = getContentPane();
String[] head = {
"One", "Two", "Three"};
String[][] data = {
"R1-C1", "R1-C2", "R1-C3"}
"R2-C1", "R2-C2", "R2-C3"}
JTable jt = new JTable(data, head);
box.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
// jtf.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
System.out.println("-------------------JComboBox mouseclick....");
jt.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
System.out.println("-------------------JTable mouseclick....");
// jt.setDefaultEditor(Object.class, new DefaultCellEditor(jtf));
jt.setDefaultEditor(Object.class, new DefaultCellEditor(box));
content.add(new JScrollPane(jt), BorderLayout.CENTER);
setSize(300, 300);
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Test3().setVisible(true);

Changing tabs order in the JTabbedPane (DnD)

Hi,
I have a JTabbePane with different tabs in it and I want to be able to drag one tab and insert between other two with the mouse. Kind of like you can reorder sheet tabs in MS Excel. Does any one have an idea how this behavior may be implemented?
Thanks a lot,
Ilya

Thanks for this idea. I misunderstood what you meant until Jeremy responded saying you were �right on the money�. I thought you meant that putting another plot in the array but making it transparent was going to help somehow, but now I understand that you mean plotting the �up front� data to a separate XY graph indicator which is transparent and overlaying the original XY graph. I may wind-up doing this. I�m just not excited about linking all the scaling info from one graph to the scaling of the transparent graph and creating the necessary event handling so that when the user scales one graph or changes the auto-scaling, the other graph�s scales gets updated, but perhaps it�s the only way. Thanks again for your input.

JTable tab key navigation with JComboBox Cell Editors in Java 1.3 & 1.4

Hello - this is one for the experts!
I have a JTable which has an editable JComboBox as one of the cell editors for a particular column. Users must be able to navigate through the table using the tab key. After editing a cell a single tab should advance the cell selection to the next column and then the user should just be able to start typing to populate the cell.
However, i've come across some really frustrating differences between the Swing implementation of JDK1.3.1_09 and JDK 1.4.2_04 which means this behaviour is very different between versions!....
1. Editing Cells and then advancing to the next column using tab.
Using standard cell editors (based around JTextFields) in 1.3.1 the user has to press tab twice to traverse to the next column after editing. However, in 1.4.2 a single tab key is enough to move to the next column after editing.
2. Editable JComboBox editors and and advancing to the next column using tab.
Using JDK 1.3.1, having entered some text in the editable combo it takes 2 tabs to transfer the selected cell to the next column. With 1.4.2 a single tab while editing the editable combo ends editing and transfers the selection out of the table completely?!?
With these 2 issues I don't know how to make a single tab key reliably transfer to the next cell, between java versions. Can anyone please help me?!??!
(i've attached test code below which can be run in both 1.3 and 1.4 and demonstrates the above behaviour.)
package com.test;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class TableTest4 extends JFrame {
     private JTable table;
     private DefaultTableModel tableModel;
     public TableTest4() {
          initFrame();
      * Initialises the test frame.
     public void initFrame() {
          // initialise table
          table = new JTable(10, 5);
          tableModel = (DefaultTableModel) table.getModel();
          table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(table.getPreferredSize());
          table.setRowHeight(22);
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
          getContentPane().add(scrollPane);
          JButton dummyBtn1 = new JButton("Dummy Button 1");
          JButton dummyBtn2 = new JButton("Dummy Button 2");
          // initialise frame
          JPanel btnPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2, 1));
          btnPanel.add(dummyBtn1);
          btnPanel.add(dummyBtn2);
          getContentPane().add(btnPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          // set renderer of first table column to be an editable combobox
          JComboBox editableCombo = new JComboBox();
          editableCombo.setEditable(true);
          TableColumn firstColumn = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
          firstColumn.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(editableCombo));
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          TableTest4 frame = new TableTest4();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);

Run the above code in 1.3 and 1.4 and you can see that after editing a cell, the tab key behaviour works differently between versions.
I don't believe by adding a key listener to the cell editors will have the desired effect.
I've read other posts and from what i've read it looks like the processKeyBinding method of the JTable can be overridden to manually handle key events.
Has anyone done this to handle tab key presses so that the same java app running under 1.3 and 1.4 works in the same way ??? I would really appreciate some advice on this as its very frustrating !

How to Control the "tab order" in Adobe Captivate 8?

Hi Guys,
I was just trying to insert "tab order" to the module that I am creating using Adobe Captivate Version 8. I was not able to insert the tab order feature when I switched to the responsive project mode (project for Destop, Tablet, and Mobile).
Kindly guide me to insert tab order. I have checked all the online resources but was not able to find the relevant steps to create "tab order" in Captivate 8.
Thanks!
Peace

Hi,
You can set the Tab order for Interactive objects from the Properties panel:
This will open a dialog where you can arrange the order for all the interactive objects on your slide.
Hope this helped!

How do I exempt a FIELD from the TAB ORDER on a form

How do I make a field NOT part of the TAB ORDER? In other words, you can Tab around the page but you will never select this object. I want to create a text message that will show on the screen only but is not a field for editing.
If this is in the "help" and I've missed it, sorry. I couldn't find anything about this.
Thanks.

I have a form that I created with the save, print, etc buttons. I created mine as text fields rather then buttons and under Common Properties I have the Form Field set as Visible But Does Not Print, and then of course it's set under Actions to Execute a Menu Command. That does show up in the tab panel, however if you close the form editing and then go through the tab order of the form it skips right over it. The downside to this is that you have to have the Select tool in order to click and there is no mouse over, it's just a cursor like it would be in any other text field.
This is the only solution that I have found that somehow works for this.

I don't want some fields to be added in the Tab order.

I dragged a few objects from the OBJECT LIBRARY, say
1. TextField1
2. TextField2
3. TextField3
4. Text1
5. ImageField1
6. Button1
7. CheckBox1
8. CheckBox2
Then I selected 'TAB ORDER' from the 'VIEW MENU' now I want to keep out 'ImageField1' and 'Text1' from the tabbing order.
Please guide me with clear words, quick replies are expected and will be appreciated.
Thank You,
Y.D

Hello, I presume you dont want the end-user editing these objects either? If thats the case then use static objects instead. Static objects are not included in the tabbing order. Yes, they are identified with a number when you enable the View | Tabbing Order but only to identify them as part of the reading order. Remember, the tabbing order and reading order share the same sequence. See if you can use a static image instead of an image field. I presume Text1 is already a static text object therefore it wont be tabbed into. If you cant replace the image field with a static image then you can use a workaround. You can protect the access to a field. Protected fields do not participate in the tabbing sequence. Designer does not expose this property so you will have to specify it manually. For example: 1. Select the image field. 2. Go to the XML Source. If it not opened, go to the View menu and select XML Source. It will show up besides the Preview PDF tab. 3. The <field> element will be highlighted. Type access=protected. For example: <field name="ImageField1" y="25.4mm" x="57.15mm" w="25.4mm" h="30.4mm" access="protected"> 4. Preview the form. Does this help solve your problem?
