JTable: defining a nested table with clickable cells - java

I build a JTable in which every cell is a JTable itself. I need to make the cells of the nested (inner) tables clickable so that some additional information will be displayed in a pop-up window on a mouse click.
What is the best way to do this? Should I define every cell as a button?
Thank you in advance.

Instead, create two instances of JTable, master and detail. In a ListSelectionListener added to master, update the model displayed by detail using setModel(), as shown here.

GWT CellTable selection and single click on CheckBoxCell

I've got a CellTable wich work with SingleSelectionModel to make single selection and show some information into details panel. Also I've got CheckBoxCell column into this CellTable which work with another MultipleSelectionModel to make mass delete operation.
When I try to click on check box in CheckBoxCell column GWT selects row and after second click on checkbox it change checkbox state. So we should make two clicks, but I need to do it (change checkbox state) by one click.
I tried different ways to fix it:
Change dependsOnSelection and handlesSelection parameters into CheckboxCell
Change SelectionEventManager in CellTable (DefaultSelectionEventManager.createCheckboxManager(), DefaultSelectionEventManager.createCustomManager)
But it doesn't work.
I found similar problems into Internet but all of them work with one MultipleSelectionModel. It's not the same what I want, because there's details panel (So I could make only single selection).
Can anyone help me to figure out how to resolve it?
UPD:
I've just removed SingleSelectionModel and redesigned UI to working with MultipleSelectionModel. It's GWT-hell..
Try to switch your selection models: use the MultiSelectionModel as the CellTable's selection model, so that the checkboxes work as expected (with both dependsOnSelection and handlesSelection set to true), and for the master-detail feature, use a CellPreviewEvent.Handler (or DefaultSelectionEventManager#createCustomManager), and RowStyles and getRowElement+addStyleName/removeStyleName for rendering (RowStyles when the CellTable renders the rows, then getRowElement to dynamically update styling).

java swing jtable screen location of cell renderer component

I'm new to swing and I faced my first serious problem, here goes:
I have a JPanel with JTable and lots of checkboxes below the table. I'm trying to align the checkboxes below the table with checkbox located in the first table column. The problem is - this has to be done when model data changes.
Immediatly after the fireTableDataChanged() gets triggered in JTable there is no way to get the screen location of its custom cell renderer component (which in my case is JCheckBox).
As far as I understand this happens because JTable gets redrawn asynchronously. Whenever I try to get the location the IllegalComponentStateException gets thrown.
Any ideas on this are highly appreciated.
You shouldn't do it manually. You should use the appropriate layoutManager. Check this link for the different Layouts:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html
This might help you to get screen location of row and column.
Rectangle rect= cartTable.getCellRect(row,column,true);
//cartTable-Jtable object name
int x=Double.valueOf(rect.getX()).intValue();
int y=Double.valueOf(rect.getY()).intValue();

restore jTable focus and position after removing a row from table model

one question with the java jTable class. Actually I am not a Java programmer and just now using Java to design a GUI in Matlab. What I've done is:
A jTable is built into a Matlab GUI.
I used/called a RowFilter in jTable, which can make the jTable to show the filtering results.
Then from the results in this filtered view I used the removeRow method from table model to remove one or several selected rows.
The problem is that everytime if I remove a row, the table content refreshs itself as wanted, but the scroll bar jumps back to the beginning.
Does anyone know how to inhibit this jumping and keep the original view of jTable? Because this helps me not to have to scroll back to find the original position where I started the deleting.
Thank u for ur advice and help.
Invoke the table's scrollRectToVisible() method; pass it the Rectangle returned by getCellRect() for the desired row.

Drop down content in JTable

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.

Java Swing JTable sort

I have a JTable with column headers. When I click on a column header the data gets sorted. This is the default sort behavior.
The thing is that I need to remember the last column the user clicked to sort. Anyone knows which listener I need to implement in order to catch the column name that user clicked for sorting on the JTable?
The code is already implemented and I'm new to Swing. I just need to add that extra functionality. So any clues will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
You can add a MouseListener to the JtableHeader. Then you just use the columnAtPoint(...) method to determine when a column is clicked.
Use Swing-X components, there is a JXTable which is more powerful than JTable.
