Update JTable - Cell

i tried out the sample http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-swing/TableDemo.java. if i enter a new value and klick into another cell of the table all works fine. if i click on the table header after editing the cell the old value appears in the cell. if i enter signs directly after the click on the table header the text appended to the old value of the edited cell.
i hope, anybody can help me.

Hmm, the suggestion given above appears to work when focus is gained on all other components, so the table header must have to logic to "cancel" cell editing. You can add your own MouseListener to "save" the edited data to the table header:
table.getTableHeader().addMouseListener( new MouseAdapter()
     public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
          JTableHeader header = (JTableHeader)e.getSource();
          JTable table = header.getTable();
          if (table.isEditing())
               table.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
});

  • Update jtable cell via numeric keypad

    Hi,
    I have a problem, trying to figure out how to input numbers in a jtextfield in a jtable cell, from a group of jbuttons (rendered as a numeric keypad). I can get the cell to focus, but when I click on one of the jbuttons in the keypad, the cell loses focus and nothing is printed. I can update the cell by directly typing from the keyboard; that works fine. But I'm lost when trying to do it from the touch-screen keypad. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I assume I need to attach additional listeners somewhere.
    Thanks in-advance.
    Lee

    I can get the cell to focus, Then the code for you button would need to be something like:
    String text = (String)table.getValueAt(...);
    String updated = text + button.getText();
    table.setValueAt(updated, ...);

  • Update JTable cells via setValueAt

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to implement a setValueAt method using an arrayList.....no success.What listeners should I have set up(For JTable or my table model)? I am new at this and I'm trying to update the JTable cells after a query from some db. Could anyone help?

    I would think that everone who starts off with JTable will have a couple of concept problems. I am also going thru this learnig curve. It looks to me ( the blind leading the blind etc) like your basic table has strange data in it. The problem is occuring when the JTable is trying to setup the data from the table model.
    I don't think its anything to do with setValueAt.
    I kept going back to TableMap, TableSorter and JDBCAdaptor examples and copying the code from them to come right.> I debug by putting a System.out .... in all the methods until I get to where the code is giving trouble.
    Good luck [email protected]

  • How to write an element in a  JTable Cell

    Probably it's a stupid question but I have this problem:
    I have a the necessity to build a JTable in which, when I edit a cell and I push a keyboard button, a new Frame opens to edit the content of the cell.
    But the problem is how to write something in the JTable cell, before setting its model. Because, I know, setCellAT() method of JTree inserts the value in the model and not in the table view. And repainting doesn't function!
    What to do??
    Thanks

    Hi there
    Depending on your table model you should normally change the "cell value" of the tablemodel.
    This could look like:
    JTable table = new JTable();
    TableModel model = table.getModel();
    int rowIndex = 0, columnIndex = 0;
    model.setValueAt("This is a test", rowIndex, columnIndex);
    The tablemodel should then fire an event to the view (i.e. JTable) and the table should be updated.
    Hope this helps you

  • Way to listen for change in JTable cell?

    I am having troubles trying to catch a key event while the user is entering text inside a given JTable cell (x/y location). The JTable only seems to manage String objects in it's cells so I can't place a JTextField in there with a KeyListener on it.
    Currently, I can only get control of the application once the user has left the cell they are editing.
    Does anyone have an example of a JTable 'cell KeyListener' scenario? At this point I want to see if I can print 'hello world' each time I type a character within a cell. Then I'll go from there....

    If you want to know when the contents of a cell have been updated you should use a TableModelListener.
    If you want to know when a character is added/removed from the cell editor then you need to first understand how this works with a simple text field.
    Typically you would use a DocumentListener to receive notifies of a change to the text field. However, within the DocumentEvent you wouldn't be able to change the text field as this notification comes after the text field has already been updated.
    If you need to ability to intercept changes to the text field before they happen, then you would need to use a DocumentFilter. An example of using a DocumentFilter is given in the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/generaltext.html#filter]Text Component Features.
    Once you get your regular text field working the way you want, the next step to create a DefaultCellEditor using this JTextField and use this editor in your JTable. The above tutorial also has a section on using editors in a table.

  • Updating JTable Contents

    I'm having trouble refreshing a JTable after changing it's 2D Object array data. Perhaps this is a stupid question, but any advice would be appreciated.
    Basically I've been building from the SimpleTableDemo.java file in the "How to Use Tables" tutorial. I set Object[][] data to a 2D Object array that is modified by other parts of my program.
    I added the public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) function to detect data changes, displaying a simple System.out, but it never seems to get called.
    Is there any way that the JTable can observe changes in the Object[][] data array and update it's self accordingly? I'm never sure if rows are being added or removed.
    I hope that made sense, and thank-you in advance to anyone who replies.
    -Arthur

    Couple of things...
    Whenever you change the contents of your TableModel you need to fire the appropriate event to get the JTable to update the viewed rows... in your case it sounds like you would have to call the "fireTableDataChanged()" method defined by AbstractTableModel so that your contents will be viewed.
    Also... it is rare that you really need to update the entire contents of your table model, most the time it is more efficient to just update the cell or row your need and call the appropriate "fire..." method to update
    Hope this helps

  • How to manipulate jtable cell?

    Hi experts,
    I created a jtable with a BC4J related to the jtable.
    I do not know how to update a cell and how to insert a new row in the jtable.
    Would someone please tell me where I can find the document about manipulating a jtable?

    Have a look at the source code of JUNavigationBar. In that class, look for JUActionBinding(_buttons[BUTTON_FIRST]   , bind, JUActionBinding.ACTION_FIRST, false);As you can see you will need the JUActionBinding class.

  • How to update JTable when clicking outside the table?

    Hi
    (Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't seem to see exactly how to do this from previous posts.)
    I have a JTable which sits on a jPanel which itself is part of a frame.
    When I click anywhere outside the table when I'm editing a cell in the table, how do I end the edit mode of the table (so that the cell is updated with the new contents).Currently I can only update a cell's contents during edit when hitting 'enter' or by clicking on another cell within the table.
    It seems that the following code is used in the process but I'm sure that I'm still missing something:
    if(table1.getCellEditor()!=null)
    table1.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
    If anyone out there knows how to do this,I'd really appreciate hearing how.
    Thanks a lot
    LGS

    Thanks for your comments but I'm still having problems.
    When I add the following code:
    table1.addFocusListener(new java.awt.event.FocusAdapter()
    public void focusLost(java.awt.event.FocusEvent evt)
    if (table1.getCellEditor() != null)
    table1.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
    and then try to edit my table,as soon as I double click on any cell in the table,my setValueAt method in my Table Model is being called before I even edit the cells contents. The above code is in the same method in which I actaully create table1 i.e.createTable().
    Can anyone help?

  • Start or stop edit jtable cell editing

    Hello,
    I got a problem with the jtable DefaultModel isCellEditable.
    If I set the IsCellEditable to false, I would not be able to enable the cell selection as and when I want it.
    What I have in mind is the add a mouselister so that if the user select a row using fast left mouse click like the procedure shown below
    private class MouseClickHandler extends MouseAdapter {
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event) {
    int no_mouseclick = 0;
    no_mouseclick = event.getClickCount();
    if (no_mouseclick >= 2) {
    int cur_row = 0;
    cur_row = table.getSelectedRow();
    // table.setColumnSelectionAllowed(true);
    // table.setRowSelectionAllowed(true);
    for (int i=0;i<table.getColumnCount();i++){
    table.editCellAt(cur_row,i);
    System.out.println("mouse row--->" + cur_row);
    I could overwrite the IsCellEditable to true to enable that particular or cell contains in that row to be able to accept input and overwrite any data which in my case obtained from the Sql database a sort of like input module using tabulation . I am also thinking of using text component or combobox to display the value for user selection , but I do not know how to enable a particular cell for editing if the Jtable created is using a non-editable DefaultModel. If I set the IsCellEditable to true, every single cell would be enable for editing , and this defeat the purpose of enable user input only upon double mouseclicks.
    By the way , I am interested to know how to track the data changes in the cell within the jtable so that only those have been modified are notify from the Table model and updated into the Sql table
    Could anyone of you out there provide some hints please
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Tablemodellistener could detect the changes in the data, how about the backend database updating and transactional activity that must be associated with the data changes?
    What is on my mind is that , the moment there is changes in the data detected by the TableModellistener, whatever records associated with or brougt up by Jtable would be all deleted from the database and then follow by the new set of new records to be inserted into the database. The disadvantage of this method is that everytime the backend database connection and activity need to be executed the moment there is a change in the data in the jtable cell. For example the user may be just amendment to only one cell , but all the records associated need to be deleted and then inserted again.
    Perhaps there are better solution to deal with Jtable and JDBC backend connection where in this case, I am using JDO to undertake the database activity like the observable modelling .
    Could someone provide the hint please
    Thank

  • JTable cell under Mouse positin?

    I have a need to update a control with information about a JTable cell that is currently under the Mouse pointer.
    No clicking, just moving the mouse around updates the other control with information depending on which cell is currently under the Mouse pointer.
    How Can I translate a mouse position into a row,col for the cell?

    Generally I assume these kinds of problems are either obvious problems in my code (at least, obvious to other people) or obscure interactions that are are royal PITA to track down.
    Apparently not in this case.

  • JTable cell value doesn't change with user input

    I'm making a program that uses a custom table model (extends AbstractTableModel). The problem is when I type a value in one of the table cells, then press enter (or click outside the cell), the value goes back to what it was originally. So for example, a cell has "oldvalue", I type in "newvalue", press enter, and now the cell still reads "oldvalue". I figured the renderer would automatically update the cell by calling MyTableModel.setValueAt (...), but maybe I need a listener to do this? let me know. thanks

    alright, well basically I'm making a database manager
    and thought it would be easier to extend
    AbstractTableModel and then do all the queries inside
    the methods instead of listening for events. Second
    thing, I put a debug statement and setValueAt never
    gets called when you type in a new cell value. How
    does it update the cell then is my question?It's your TableModel bug but a much better advice would be that you should use
    DefaultTableModel instead of extending AbstractTableModel. The DefaultTableModel
    is usually more than enough for an ordinary JTable application.
    The simplest and standard way of handling DB data from JTable is updating
    vectors for DefaultTableModel data with your new DB data set. You don't need
    to worry about low-level event firing, cell editor control etc. if you use
    DefaultTableModel. See API documentation of DefaultTableModel closely.

  • JTable Cell Change Listener

    I have a JTable which contains all the services charges and It should automatically calculate the Total of all the service Charges and so my client wants that on JTable Cell Change the total field should be updated
    So Can any body give me the event listener for that
    Thanks in advance
    CSJakharia

    Thanks for that
    That Works But do u know anything which prevents the continous loop
    I mean I have to change certain fields in the JTable itself in the listner itself and if i do that it ends up in Stack Overflow Exception Which implies never ending loop
    I can stop that with the use of variable But is there any easy way out I mean any method by which i can stop this endless LOOP

  • 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!

    Do 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);

  • Shading part of a JTable Cell dependent upon the value of the cell

    Hi
    Was hoping some one woudl be able to provide some help with this. I'm trying to create a renderer that will "shade" part of a JTable cell's background depending upon the value in the cell as a percentage (E.g. if the cell contains 0.25 then a quarter of the cell background will be shaded)
    What I've got so far is a renderer which will draw a rectangle whose width is the relevant percentage of the cell's width. (i.e. the width of the column) based on something similar I found in the forum but the part I'm struggling with is getting it to draw this rectangle in any cell other than the first cell. I've tried using .getCellRect(...) to get the x and y position of the cell to draw the rectangle but I still can't make it work.
    The code for my renderer as it stands is:
    import java.awt.Component;
    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import java.awt.Graphics2D;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    import javax.swing.JTable;
    import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
    public class PercentageRepresentationRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer{
         double percentageValue;
         double rectWidth;
         double rectHeight;
         JTable table;
         int row;
         int column;
         int x;
         int y;
         public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
              if (value instanceof Number)
                   this.table = table;
                   this.row = row;
                   this.column = column;
                   Number numValue = (Number)value;
                   percentageValue = numValue.doubleValue();
                   rectHeight = table.getRowHeight(row);
                   rectWidth = percentageValue * table.getColumnModel().getColumn(column).getWidth();
              return this;
         public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
            x = table.getCellRect(row, column, false).x;
            y = table.getCellRect(row, column, false).y;
              setOpaque(false);
            Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
            g2d.fillRect(x,y, new Double(rectWidth).intValue(), new Double(rectHeight).intValue());
            super.paintComponent(g);
    }and the following code produces a runnable example:
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
    import javax.swing.JTable;
    import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
    public class PercentageTestTable extends JFrame {
         public PercentageTestTable()
              Object[] columnNames = new Object[]{"A","B"};
              Object[][] tableData = new Object[][]{{0.25,0.5},{0.75,1.0}};
              DefaultTableModel testModel = new DefaultTableModel(tableData,columnNames);
              JTable test = new JTable(testModel);
              test.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new PercentageRepresentationRenderer());
              JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane();
              scroll.getViewport().add(test);
              add(scroll);
         public static void main(String[] args)
              PercentageTestTable testTable = new PercentageTestTable();
              testTable.pack();
              testTable.setVisible(true);
              testTable.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }If anyone could help or point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
