Using editor for multiple cells in JTable

Question

Hi,
Here is my requirement -
On clicking any column of a particular row in a JTable, a pop-up window containing the cells of that row will be displayed as JTextFields for the user to enter the value and on pressing OK, the entered values should be set in the corresponding columns of that row.
I used a customised editor for this and the problem here is - getTableCellEditorComponent() method returns the cell value which got clicked/selected by the user. But in my case, all the cells have to be edited and returned to the corresponding columns in the table. The same is the problem with the method getCellEditorValue().
So, please let me know how do i resolve the above issue?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
No, the problem is not with showing the popup. I can get the pop-up containing the fields corresponding to each column in the Jtable and in the pop-up window, I have to change the Text fields and press OK.
After pressing OK, the changed values in the pop-up will be rendered on the corresponding columns of the JTable.
So, while using the customised editor, when the pop-up is displayed, the method public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column) is basically used to return the selected component (cell).
I can do the above using
TableModel model = table.getModel();
model.getValueAt(table.getSelectedRow,column)
for all the columns but cannot return all these cells. Only one editorComponent can be returned.
Similarly, after getting the pop-up and changing the values and pressing OK, getCellEditorValue() will be called which returns the edited cell value, again all the cell values cannot be returned here.
So, is there a way by which all the cells of a particular row can be edited at a time? Hope the explanation is clear now.
Please help!
Thanks in advance!!
