TableCellEditor Problem

dear all...
I develop a database application in Java + HSQLDB
i use JTable to enter data (for fast entering)...
the following is a sample of my table:
| COL1 | COL2 | COL3 |
during pressing tab in last cell (last row, last col)... a new row automatically will be added...
after adding all data the user must click on (Save) button to save changes...
=========================================================
for faster updating I'm using a Vector, to know which rows are changed...
=========================================================
during typing some thing in some cell, the program must check the vector, if it doesn't contain the row number, it will add the row number to it, else it do nothing...
========================================================
the following is my code
Vector<Integer> changed = new Vector();
for(int k=0; k<3; k++){
    TableCellRenderer renderer;
    DefaultTableCellRenderer textRenderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer();
    textRenderer.setHorizontalAlignment(btc.getColumnDataAlignment(k));
    renderer = textRenderer;
    JTextField jtf=new JTextField();
        jtf.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() {
           public void keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
                synchronized(this){
                    if(VerifyKey.isTextKey(evt)){
                        if(!changed.contains(jTable1.getSelectedRow())){
                            changed.add(jTable1.getSelectedRow());
    TableCellEditor editor = new DefaultCellEditor(jtf);
    TableColumn column = new TableColumn(k, btc.getColumnDataWidth(k),renderer, editor);
    jTable1.addColumn(column);
}================================================
but the strange thing here, when i'm starting writing.. the program will add its row no. to the vector... but when i press the tab after that (to move to the next cell) the program dont re-generate the action (KeyListener)
does any one able to help me???????
thank you....
Amanj

JComboBox in the JTable Header - TableCellEditor problem

Hi,
I have added JComboBox into the JTableHeader. But I can't Edit that combobox. It is looking like an icon. I have added JPanel into the JTable Header Row. In JPanel i have added one JLable and JComboBox.
Please any one of you give me the solution.
Thanks,
Shrini V.

The table will display what ever value it has in its model. When you add the row, there is no data in the second column. You'll have to supply it.
public void insertMyRowCombo (Object [] r,
                                  JComboBox c,
                                  JTable t) {
       // {"rut", "puntaje cas", "beneficio", "fecha inicio", "fecha termino", "monto"};
        DefaultTableModel tm = (DefaultTableModel) t.getModel();
        tm.addRow(r);
        TableColumn col = t.getColumnModel().getColumn(2);
        col.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(c));
        tm.setValueAt( c.getItemAt(0), 0, 2); //manually supply the value to col 2
    }ICE

Problem with tablecelleditor

hi all,
i am adding jspinner which is used for date to a table,
the problem is when i change date in jspinner, the changed value
is not displaying in the table, the following code i used.

             tableMemberToGrpRepayment.getColumnModel().getColumn(1)
                                             .setCellEditor(new MyCellRenderer());
class MyCellRenderer extends AbstractCellEditor
                               implements TableCellEditor {
              JSpinner sDate;
            Object value;

                  sDate = new JSpinner(FillCompFN.getJSpinnerModel());
                   sDate.setEditor(new JSpinner.DateEditor(sDate,              ComProperties.DATE_FORMAT));
               ((JSpinner.DefaultEditor)sDate.getEditor())

Problems on customized TableCellEditor?

Hi, Swing Gurus
Much thanks to every guy who has made so many valuable suggestions.
But, still I have problems on my customized TableCellEditor. The biggest problem is when a user cancelled editing(e.g. by clicking the other table cell), the customized TableCellEditor doesn��t response well. And after cancellation the original value of the cell is changed to null.
To solve the problem, I find ItemListener in java.awt.event and my customized TableCellEditor has implemented it. But I don��t know if I can or how to register it on a jtable.
If not, does it mean I must intercept a mouse click event on the table and judge if it is outside the cell being edited?
Any hints?
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
Justine

Hey RGD VLB,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, two iOS devices are not able to connect using FaceTime. You want to know if the OS could be the problem? I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
This article covers different things that might be causing an issue.
If you can't make or receive FaceTime calls - Apple Support
Update both devices (your device and your friend's device) to the latest version of iOS.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,
Mario

TableCellEditor interface problem

Hi. I get the following compile time error:
C:\projects\renewals\source\AWDPriorityExcludeListEditor.java(31) : The method Component getTableCellEditorComponent(javax.swing.JTable, java.lang.Object, boolean, int, int) declared in AWDPriorityExcludeListEditor cannot override the method of the same signature
C:\projects\renewals\source\AWDPriorityExcludeListEditor.java(31) : declared in javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor. They must have the same return type
That is with JDK1.2.2
The class that causes the erorr implements TableCellEditor.
The code causing the error is:
<code>
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
                         boolean isSelected,
                         int row, int column)
                         {return null;
</code>
This is something most likely ridiculously stupid but any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried copying the function definition straight out of the Java 1.2.2 API doc's and right out of the TableCellEditor.java file and get that error.

If I extend DefaultCellEditor and even use code form Sun's tutorials I get the same error.

sahas@sun, you're very impolite! farukkhan was trying to help, and he's right because when you use code formatting the code is really easier to read.
Perhaps you have lost a chance for getting the answer!

Thanks

In summary, you have one or more columns for which the data must be wholly visible - correct? If you need all the columns to show the whole of their data, you are goinf to have to expand the table, otherwise you can expand a column with something like
myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(whichever).setPreferredWidth(whatever);

Problem with CustomCellRender && CustomCellEditor....

Hi to every one,
can any one help me to solve this problem.
I have a Custom cell renderer and custom cell editor.
so the requirement is i want a "Check Box" when the object is of type Boolean else I want "TextField".
->Like mixing of both "Check Box" and "Text Field".
please tell me where i should change my code..
here i am giving sample code:
class MyCellRenderer implements TableCellRenderer{
private JCheckBox jb;
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object obj, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column )
if(obj.getClass().getCanonicalName().equals("java.lang.Boolean"))
/* here i want a Check box */
jb=new JCheckBox("",Boolean.parseBoolean( obj.toString() ));
jb.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
jb.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
return jb;
else{
// here i want JTextField....
// it must return TextField...
class MyCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,
Object obj, boolean isSelected,int row, int column){
if(obj.getClass().getCanonicalName().equals("java.lang.Boolean"))
/* here i want check box must be editable...when user click on the check box*/
JCheckBox jb=new JCheckBox("",Boolean.parseBoolean( obj.toString() ));
jb.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
jb.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
return jb;
else
// here i need to return JTextField and it must be editable.
Hope You understand what i said..
Please give replys on this. It is dead line for me...
ThankS...

SUDARSHAN.

Problem of deletion of rows in jtable, table refreshing too

Hi,
I have a table with empty rows in the beginning with some custom properties( columns have fixed width...), later user would be adding to the rows to this table and can delete, I've a problem while deleting the rows from table,
When a selected row is deleted the model is also deleting the data but the table(view) is not refreshed.
Actually i'm selecting a cell of a row, then hitting the delete button.
So the model is deleting the information, but i'm not able to c the fresh data in table( especially when the last cell of last row is selectd and hit the delete button, i am getting lots of exception)
Kindly copy the below code and execute it, and let me know,

Hi,
I've got the solution for it. As when the cursor is in cell of
a row and hit the delete button, the data in that cell is not saved,
So i'm trying to save the data first into the model then firing the action event by doing this ..
jButton2.addActionListener( new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent){
// If a button press is the trigger to leave a JTable cell and save the data in model
if(jTable1.isEditing() ){
String text=((javax.swing.text.JTextComponent)jTable1.getEditorComponent()).getText();
jTable1.setValueAt(text,jTable1.getSelectedRow(),jTable1.getSelectedColumn()) ;
jTable1.getCellEditor().cancelCellEditing();
// HERE DO THE DELETE ROW OPERATION

Problem with a mask in a JFormattedTextField

I am tring to create a text box with a mask.
This object text box is declared like a class var.
I have another object, a mask object that is also declared as a class var
but I cant create this mask. The errors are commented,
if you erase the comments and create the class you are going to see the error.
javac ContraBase.java
java ContraBase
Estoy tratando de crear un campo de texto con mascara.
este objeto texto esta definico como variable de clase
tengo definida una mascara tambien como variable de clase
Pero no me deja crear la mascara. Los errores estan comentados,
si quita los comentados y crea el class vera el problema.

               System.out.println("****INGRESA A EXCEPTION main****");
               System.out.println(e.toString());
               System.out.println("****SALE DE EXCEPTION main****");
               return;
          System.out.println("Creacion Finalizada.");
}

Sounds like that field is editable. The renderer renders the display when a field is not
being edited, a TableCellEditor is in charge when the field is edited, and the default
editor is just a JTextField.

Dynamic Tables: TableCellEditor depending on Context node value

Dear community,
I'm creating a dynamic table containing all the neccessary fields to display my context node in Java code but I have one requirement that I can not resolve by myself:
Depending on the value of a cell the TableCellEditor should be of type IWDTextView or LinkToURL. So if the context node value is e.g. the String "abc" I want to display a LinkToUrl containing a Target - such as http://www.abc.com - depending on the value, if the context node value is "def" I want to do nothing but display the value in a TextView.
As I am creating the dynamic table in advance and binding my Context node to it later, I don't know how to change the TableCellEditor at that point of time.
Right now I have the choice to either display all cells of the column as LinkToUrl TableCellEditor or display all cells as TextView - the dynamic table generation itself is no problem for me.
Does anyone have an idea on how to do that? Maybe it is not possible in WDJ right now?
regards,
Christian

Hi Christian
Try this:
IWDTable theTable=(IWDTable)view.createElement(IWDTable.class,"table");
IWD TableColumn aColumn=(IWDTableColumn)view.createElement(IWDTableColumn.class,"col");
if(str.equal("abc"))
IWDTextView aField=(IWDTextView)view.createElement(IWDTextView.class,"TextView");
aField.bindText(str);
aColumn.setTableCellEditor(aField);
else if(str.equal("def"))
IWDLinkToURL aField=(IWDLinkToURL)view.createElement(IWDLinkToURL.class,"LinkToURL");
aField.bindtarget("http://www."str".com");
aColumn.setTableCellEditor(aField);
theTable.addColumn(aColumn);
Best regards,

JTable: renderer problem-urgent

Thanx "pasteven". That url is too good.
I wrote my own renderer for each cell in JTable that uses JCombobox for rendering purpose. But when i select an item in that combo box, some times renderer is not setting the selected item in that combobox. Sometimes when i change the selection of item in the previous cell,it is getting reflected in all other cells of that particular column.

Please help me.

I ran into the same problem in Java 1.4. The problem is that the JTable is not feeding the initial value to the cell editor. I found the following workaround. You have to override the JTable method prepareEditor() like this:
<CODE>
public Component prepareEditor(TableCellEditor editor, int row, int column) {
Component ret = super.prepareEditor(editor, row, column);
// Translate column to the data model coordinates by using the
// identifier. We'll check only for the JComboBox columns (in
// this example columns 8 and 9).
int col = 0;
String id = (String)getColumnModel().getColumn(column).getIdentifier();
if ( id.equals( tableModel.getColumnName(8) ) )
col = 8;
else if ( id.equals( tableModel.getColumnName(9) ) )
col = 9;
if (col == 8 || col == 9) {
String item = (String)tableModel.getValueAt(row, col);
((JComboBox)((DefaultCellEditor)editor).getComponent()).setSelectedItem( item );
return ret;
</CODE>
You have to translate from table coordinates to table model coordinates in case the user reorders column - if you don't allow this for your table then you won't have to do this.

Why is my JTextArea working as a TableCellEditor?

Hello all,
I have implemented a CellEditor using a JTextArea as the editing component because I need to handle multiline contents.
So far everything works fine. I can start editing the contents by doublecklicking. And the input is accepted when I select a different cell in my table, the changes are discarded when I hit ESC.
After searching this forum and google for a while on this topic (because there are some problems I couldn't solve so far, see below) I am puzzled that it is working at all!
The basic layout of my component is, that I have a JTextPane inside a JScrollPane. My class implements the TableCellEditor interface.
getTableCellEditorComponent() returns the scroll pane
getCellEditorValue() returns the contents of the JTextArea
isCellEditable() checks for a doubleclick in case of a MouseEvent
otherwise returns true (stolen from DefaultCellEditor);
stopCellEditing() and cancelCellEditing() do nothing apart from notifying any listeners.
Interesting enough stopCellEditing() and cancelCellEditing() are never called even though editing works as expected. What am I missing here???
My expectation was that those methods are called when I leave the editing cell (stopCellEditing) or if I hit ESC (cancelCellEditing())
If they don't get called, why is the new value actually applied to my table model?
But I still have another problem which I cannot solve.
I'm trying to make this editor behave like the defaultCellEditor:
- start editing as soon as a key gets typed (if that cell has the focus). Somehow the editing is started but seems to end right away.
Same with hitting F2. I have the impression that the focus is set to the ScrollPane rather than to the TextArea because the component returned by getEditorCellComponent() is the ScrollPane. How can I change this? If I return the TextArea, it is not scrollable...
- Jump to the next cell when TAB is pressed. Currently the TAB character is inserted. I have tried overwriting isManagingFocus() on the editor component, the scroll pane and my editor itself, but to no avail.
- End the editing when the ENTER key is pressed (Ctrl-ENTER should insert a new line).
From all I read in this forum and the newsgroups, this should be handled by the ActionMap/InputMap, but I don't know which actions I should use to achieve this goal (i.e. which action makes the table stop the editing and move to the next column)
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Thomas

Complicated little beast, is it?
To have control over the real editing that's taking place, you have to subclass JTextArea and override the processKeyBinding method.
Interesting enough stopCellEditing() and cancelCellEditing() are never called.You have to call these methods yourself when certain keys are detected in processKeyBinding
- start editing as soon as a key gets typed (if that cell has the focus).Override the processKeyBinding in JTable to have better control of the keytype event. If you detected a key that signal the start of editing, you must go thru the motion of setting up the editor, etc... just like JTable does. Then, as a final step, give focus to your edit component and dispatch the key type event to it (be careful because several events are fired by simply pressing a single character on the keybaord). This very last step may have to be put into SwingUtilities.invokeLater if you find that the event is fired before your editor is ready).
- Jump to the next cell when TAB is pressed.
- End the editing when the ENTER key is pressed (Ctrl-ENTER should insert a new line).Again, you can trap TAB, ENTER, Ctrl-ENTER in processKeyBinding and do whatever your heart desired.
Whew........... anyway, if you want to see a working model, check it out at the link shown below:
