asked on

JTable, how to get mouse click event here?

Hello experts,

I am writing Swing application using JTable.. exactly what I am doing is based on TableDemo.java that exists in http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html

But then I modified the code inside TableModel.java by taking out the inner class of TableModel.java into a separate class, i called it MyTableModel.java.

So the result is MyTableModel.java & TableModel.java. MyTableModel.java will accept an array list as data source. And after I have MyTableModel.java, I would be able to instantiate TableModel.java and passed an instance of MyTableModel during construction time.

Now it's working properly. My question is, I would like to enhance existing code to accept any click event within the table cells. Where should I put Listener class at? And what interface should be implemented by Listener class?

Here's how you do it, this one waits for a double click but you can customize it easily for a single click:

hi wizard,

thanks for your clue... i am trying your suggestion and able to trap the event.. but if i am not wrong this event is a kind of event that triggered by JTable object, by then can I trap the cell information as well?

I am trying using e.getX() and e.getY().. but the result of X,Y is just cell position in pixel unit, not the cell matrix information.

hi wizard,

i got to find these below to complete the solution on getting cell matrix information

table.getSelectedRow();
table.getSelectedCount();

Thank you.
I'm glad I was able to help
