Access JTable cell component - java

Ok I have a JTable where I'm displaying a JList on every cell. To do this I had to implement TableCellRenderer and extend DefaultCellEditor. Here is where I return the actual JList to be rendered in GUI.
What I want to do is when user de-selects an item from a JList, I want to also de-select all items for all JLists for that table row starting at the clicked column.
My problem is that I can't figure out a way to de-select all items that come after the current clicked table column. All I can access is this DefaultListModel. I guess I need to access the actual JList in order to remove all selected items.
Below is method I'm using. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks.
public void deselectFromLocation(int row_, int column_){
DefaultTableModel dtm = (DefaultTableModel) table1.getModel();
int cols = dtm.getColumnCount();
for(int i=column_; i<cols;i++){
PCSListModel lm = (PCSListModel) dtm.getValueAt(row_, i);
//How can I access the actual JList object in order to remove all selected items?
//The PCSListMode is DefaultListModel and has no access to JList object. Thanks.
}

Presumably, your renderer and editor obtain the existing selection state from your TableModel, perhaps updating an instance of ListSelectionModel that is used as part of preparing the component for use. You can update the other model value(s) in your implementation of stopCellEditing(). Your TableModel will have to fire a suitable TableModelEvent for the other cells; do not do so for the value being edited. A related example is seen here.

Removing selected JTable elements

Several items in the table should be selected and erased when the button is pressed on ArrayList. But only one item is being deleted.
for (int i = 0; i < Table.getRowCount(); i++) {
if (Table.isRowSelected(i)) {
TableData.remove(i);
}
}
Table.setModel(new DemoTableModel(TableData));
You should NOT be removing data from the ArrayList.
The ArrayList can be used to load data into the DefaultTableModel but after you add the TableModel to the table all changes to the data should be done via the DefaultTableModel.
So in your case you would use:
model.removeRow(...)
method of the DefaultTableModel.
See: How to delete multiple rows from JTable , database at a time for a working example that deletes all selected rows from the DefaultTableModel.
If you are using a custom TableModel, then the custom model should implement a removeRow(...) method. See Row Table Model for a step-by-step example that creates a custom TableModel using an ArrayList to hold the data. It show how to implement the "remove row" method.

Displaying just one value in JComboBox when one is selected

Hello :) I need help with changing a JComboBox in a JTable. I'm new to GUI-Programming and Swing and couldn't solve this problem: I have to change the behavior of a JComboBox.
You can see the ComboBox in the picture below. If "Ja" is selected there should just be "Nein" as an option and the other way around. It would also be cool if "Nein" is set per default. The code was written from one student from last semester and I have difficulties to adjust the combobox like I have to.
That's the code snippet where the ComboBox gets initialized.
optionsInteger = new JComboBox<String>();
optionsInteger.addItem("Ja");
optionsInteger.addItem("Nein");
optionsInteger.setSelectedItem(optionsInteger.getItemAt(0));
optionsInteger.setSelectedIndex(1);
optionsInteger.setName("optionsInteger");
The ComboBox gets inserted to a JTable in this method:
public void repaintXTable(DefaultTableModel model,JTable table, int xAmount, JScrollPane scrollPane,
JComboBox<String> optionsInteger) {
model.setRowCount(xAmount);
th = table.getTableHeader();
tcm = th.getColumnModel();
tcs = tcm.getColumns();
tcs.nextElement().setHeaderValue("");
tcs.nextElement().setHeaderValue("Lower");
tcs.nextElement().setHeaderValue("Upper");
tc = tcs.nextElement();
tc.setHeaderValue("Integer");
tc.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(optionsInteger));
for(int i=0;i<xAmount;i++)
{
model.setValueAt("X"+(i+1), i, 0);
}
}
Thank you very much for your help.
In your code, this line
optionsInteger.setSelectedItem(optionsInteger.getItemAt(0));
sets the default selection to the zeroth element (Ja). This line
optionsInteger.setSelectedIndex(1);
sets the default selection to the first element (Nein).
Either set the selected item or the selected index. There's no need to do both.
A JComboBox does not remove the selected element by default. If the selected element is removed, how would the selected element display in your JTable?
If you really want to do this, you'll have to create your own version of a JComboBox.
. If "Ja" is selected there should just be "Nein" as an option and the other way around.
So then you need two separate ComboBoxModels, one model containing "Nein" and the other containing "Ja". Then when you start to edit the cell you check the current value and use the model containing the other value.
Check out How to add unique JComboBoxes to a column in a JTable (Java). This example shows how you can dynamically change the model at the time the cell is about to be edited.
It would also be cool if "Nein" is set per default.
This has nothing to do with the editor. You just add "Nein" to the TableModel when you add the data to the model.

Equivalent of getSelected column method of JTable in DefaultTableModel

I was re designing my codes with formerly using
JTable jtable = new JTable();
int selectedIndex = jtable.getSelectedColumn();
//implementations
Now, I need to use DefaultTableModel. Is there a method or implementation that is related to this method of JTable? Thanks!
A TableModel has nothing to do with the selected column of the JTable.
It doesn't matter what TableModel you use with the JTable, you still use
int selectedIndex = table.getSelectedColumn();
method to get the selected column.
Of course, there is no selected column when you first create the JTable. The user must select the column or you must set the selection on a particular cell of the table.
So you only use the getSelectedColumn() method in response to some kind of user event.

Java Swing - inform GUI about changes to the model

I have a column in JTable that binds to the underlying boolean property on a list of business objects. I also have a combobox, which should select which items should be selected. I basically added the following code as a handler to the combobox:
macroCombo.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JComboBox comboBox = (JComboBox) e.getSource();
Predicate filter = (Predicate) comboBox.getSelectedItem();
for(SelectableKey key : tableEntries){
key.setSelected(filter.evaluate(key));
}
}
});
I also have a few other controls I want to change based on the value. At the moment, only a few cells in the table change their state to be selected/deselected. Only when I click on the row, or select multiple rows, the UI updates itself. Is there a call from the handler I need to make to tell GUI to redraw itself? ALos, if I modify other controls than JTable, how would I tell them to change their state?
Thanks
When you update a value in your TableModel, the model should fire a corresponding TableModelEvent (type: UPDATE).
If your TableModel for example extends from AbstractTableModel, you can call the fireTableRowsUpdated method after you have made the changes.
Another approach is a TableModel which knows when it gets updated (for example by adding listeners to the objects it contains). This allows other code to simply update the objects contained in the TableModel, without having knowledge of the TableModel. The TableModel itself will then fire the event when it detects changes made to the objects it contains.
I prefer the second approach, as this avoids that I have to pass that TableModel around to all my other classes.
Consult the table tutorial for more information.

creating comboboxes inside jtable

My aim is to provide an interface like a matrix, each cell in matrix will have 2 values and user will select best among the two.
So i thought of going for jTable and combo boxes, the problem is in my matrix the value of each cell in a column is different. But the following code that adds the combo box to whole column of the table and if i change the combo box value, it changes for the whole table. How to insert combo boxes into the table such that each one has different values
javax.swing.JComboBox k = new javax.swing.JComboBox();
k.addItem("1");
k.addItem("2");
k.addItem("3");
k.setEnabled(true);
k.setVisible(true);
this.jTable1.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(k));
I also tried with DefaultTableModel
code is
DefaultTableModel t =new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel();
t.setColumnCount(10);
t.setRowCount(10);
t.setValueAt(k, 0, 0);
jTable1.setModel(t);
but i get the output in the gui as
javax.swing.JComboBox[,0,0,0x0,invalid,layout=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalComboBoxUI$MetalComboBoxLayoutManager,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.0,border=,flags=16777544,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,isEditable=false,lightWeightPopupEnabled=true,maximumRowCount=8,selectedItemReminder=1]
I tried typecasting "k" as JComboBox and JComponent in setValueAt method, which didn't work
Someone please help
Override the getCellEditor(....) method. For example: How to add unique JComboBoxes to a column in a JTable (Java)
