Want to edit a JTable cell programatically

Question

I am making use of JTable in my application. I want to start editing a cell at 5th column, prompt user to enter value, as soon as he checks the JCheckbox in the first Column. I have tried in various ways but failed to solve it. Can any one provide a solution for this.

Answer 1

Try something like this.
Note this is untested.
You mak not need the invokeLater.
JCheckBox xb = new JCheckBox("Check Box");
xb.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
  public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent ae) {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run(){
        table.changeSelection(lastJTable.getSelectedRow(), 5, true, true);
        table.editCellAt(lastJTable.getSelectedRow(), 5);
        Component tec = table.getEditorComponent();
        if (tec!=null){tec.requestFocus();}
        // force filed to be selected
        try {((JTextComponent)tec).selectAll();}
        catch (Exception notTextEx) {}
});rykk
