I have some data in a jTable and want to query a category (Chairs, Desks, etc.) with a drop down box and a search button. I want to have the user select a category, such as Desks, and click the jButton Available Furniture, and be shown a message like: "There are 5 desks. They are Small Office Desk, Large Office Desk, etc." How can I do this?
Here is a picture of the program with the data so you can see what I mean:
jTable with some information and furniture categories
Maybe the easiest way to do this is to just "filter" the table when you do your search by the keyword.
Read the section from the Swing tutorial on Sorting and Filtering for a working example.
You will just need to modify the code to get the search keyword from a combo box instead of a text field.

I connected MySql database with Java app, I see data from two different columns (Items, Price) but I want to connect them somehow, for example, if choose in first combobox item "Desk" the other combobox should automatic find "Desk" price and display it in second combobox. Anyone have idea how to make that ?
You could write a changelistener for the first box, then have it go into another sql query which will populate the second box. Check out this guide, it'll explain to you how to do it
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/events/changelistener.html
First, I think that you don't want to ComboBoxes being correlated in such a way. There must be a better design for your gui.
Is your ComboBox from JFace? There are JFace Data Bindings. Normally, you use them to automatically update your model if someone changes values in the user interface. If your model contains an id from your database, both comboboxes can have a binding to this id.
Hello i have this Abstract Table which im making a video hiring application with. I want the user to be able to sort through the table with buttons I have supplied. In the buttons I have a "Show only overDue videos" so when the user hits this button in my action listener i want to be able to hide the rows not delete them so when the user clicks another button they will re-appear any ideas on how i would go about doing this?
Use the filtering support provided by JTable.
Read the section from the Swing tutorial on Sorting and Filtering for more information and examples.
1) Maintain a master Data list. Intially the table model data will reflect the Master data.
2) When the user "press show only over due vidoes", iterate the master data and filter only the required elements and clear the table model and add only the filtered data to the table model and fire table model changed.
Creating front-end (Java) user interactive table using MySQL as back-end
Now im trying to create user interactive form.
Untill now, I have created a form view, using swing components, JLable, JTextfield where user enters data. JButtons, 'new' 'save' 'delete' 'edit', which listens user action through ActionListner.
A table that 'extends' AbstractTableModel. Table values are the ResultSet values. i have used MySQL connectivity.
Table is displayed. User can now add new row to it, using 'New' and 'Save' button.
My problem is, i need the corresponding TextFields to display the corresponding row user selects in the displayed table, so that 'edit' and 'delete' would be user interactive. users are allowed to select table's row. Need Help.
Im sorry if any mistake in my question format and language. Thank you!
i need code for creating table ...
ple help me on tis....
i need code for creating table
How much will you pay? :)
..i need the corresponding TextFields to display the corresponding row user selects in the displayed table..
For that you can use,
Give a button, like EDIT and in the event handler for EDIT use something like,
jTextField.setText( jTable.getValueAt(
jTable.getSelectedRow(),
jTable.getSelectedColumn())
.toString()
);
2.As an alternative you can also utilize the event in jtable like mouseClicked with the above code
Now regarding the edit and delete , you may utilize the focusLost event of the textfield or use a EDIT or DELETE button, and carryout the updation, which will be much reasonable option.
Additionaly have a look at this : Using JDBC with GUI API
I want to show all the categories in the database in each line of a JTable i have done that. Now when i click on the each row of JTable i need to show the list of products under it (considered as child of the category) as a drop down not as a drop down list which closes automatically when focus is lost, but it should stay there until i click on minimize icon in the same row. It is just like expanding content. so i can expand all categories individually. The working is similar to JTree but i need it in JTable so that i can show more information on each row in a proper format. Any ideas ?
You need TreeTable functionality. I bet this article will help you.
You will need to have the table model add/remove the subcategory rows when the button on the category is clicked.
You should look at NetBeans Outline. Here's an example that shows how it looks.
I want a jTextField that shows suggestions in a popup as the user types (like google suggests). I want suggestions data to be fetched from a database table. I have been looking at SwingX and GlazedLists but I think they provide jComboBox autocomplete, and jTextField does not show a popup in these libraries.
I want to monitor user input and re-query the database after specific intervals.
Thanks.
I would keep looking into SwingX or GlazedLists, to avoid re-inventing the wheel. But if you are doing it yourself:
Add a KeyListener to the field and show a popup just below the text field whenever the user types. The popup could just be a menu with possible items or maybe even a JList. Make sure your database query can keep up with the typing or put the work on a separate thread.
