How to get the true x and y coordinates of a JTextField

I had an issue with a piece of code I was writing where I was adding JPanel's inside of others to form a layout. The issue is that after the window is displayed I needed to get the x and y coordinates of one of the text fields but whenever I try using the getX() and getY() methods they keep returning 0. I have verified that the getX() and getY() methods are being called after the window is initialized and displayed. How can I fix this and get the actual coordinates of the text field.
This is window code:

The textComp.getX() and textComp.getY() in the showPopUpWindow method are the ones that are giving zeros.

After thinking about it for a while I came up with this solution and it works for me.
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
Component currentComponent = textComp;
while (currentComponent != null) {
x += currentComponent.getX();
y += currentComponent.getY();
currentComponent = currentComponent.getParent();
}

Now please click twice on that big button called 'Update Table'. As you see column that should display checkbox as it holds boolean values do not do that but instead displays String true or false.
This code emulates my real workflow.
So, how to update tablemodel to have boolean columns with checkbozes.
Thanks!

Your problem in getColumnClass method as you see you also return Object because of that you also get String columns.
You can determine that method in next way:
#Override
public Class<?> getColumnClass(int arg0) {
return longValues[arg0].getClass();
}
Or return Classes for your columns in another way. But you must to determine this Classes while cunstruct your model.

Jtable update selected row

I have a jtable that has a edit button, when i select a row and clicked to edit button and edit fields, and click to save button, that row doesn't update, And i have to refresh my table to Change that row!
My code:
if (e.getSource() == editButton) {
selectedRow = uTable.getSelectedRow();
if (selectedRow >= 0) {
editUser(selectedRow);
} else {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Select a row");
}
}
public void editUser(int row) {
UserInformation userInf = userModel.getSelectedMember(row);
NewUserFrame_Edit edit = new NewUserFrame_Edit(userInf, row);
}
...
My NewUserFrame_Edit Class :
public class NewUserFrame_Edit extends javax.swing.JFrame {
private AllUser userModel;
private int selectedrow;
private String gender;
public NewUserFrame_Edit(AllUser userModel,UserInformation userinf, int row) {
...
this.userModel = userModel;
jTextField1.setText(userinf.getFname().toString().trim());
jTextField2.setText(userinf.getLname().toString().trim());
if (userinf.getGender().equals("Male")) {
jRadioButton1.setSelected(true);
} else {
jRadioButton2.setSelected(true);
}
jTextField3.setText(userinf.getDate());
selectedrow = row;
setVisible(true);
}
private void updateButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
userinf = new UserInformation();
userinf.setFname(jTextField1.getText());
userinf.setLname(jTextField2.getText());
userinf.setGender(gender);

userModel.setValueAt(userinf.getFname() , selectedrow, 1);
userModel.setValueAt(userinf.getLname() , selectedrow, 2);
userModel.setValueAt(userinf.getGender(), selectedrow , 3);
userModel.setValueAt(userinf.getDate() , selectedrow, 4);
userModel.updateFile(userModel.Udata);
NewUserFrame_Edit.this.dispose();
}
...
}
My setValueAt() and updateFile() methods of my model Class:
public class AllUser extends AbstractTableModel {
...
#Override
public void setValueAt(Object value, int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
UserInformation userInfo = Udata.get(rowIndex);
switch (columnIndex) {

break;
case 3:

fireTableCellUpdated(rowIndex, columnIndex);
}

When i select a row and click to edit button, a new jframe is open that its text field is fill with older data, and i update data and click to save button.
Thus, my column is not certain.
I select a entire row, Not a cell!
Thanks.

For changing JTable entries, use TableModel#setValueAt. Calling fireTableDataChanged is unnecessary. This is for use internally within TableModel itself.
if (selectedRow >= 0) {
...
userModel.setValueAt(newValue, selectedRow, 0);
// ... more values for columns 1, 2, 3, etc.
} ...

You can create a method called updateRow(int index,String[] values) within your AbstractModel extending class and within it set new Value for each cell for that row using setValueAt(newValue,row,index). And within overridden setValue method of TableModel write fireTableCellUpdated(row, col).
Consider the Code Given below. Look at the updateRow and setValueAt method in MyModel class. And watch ((MyModel)myModel).updateRow(row,values);//update row written in MyMouseAdapter class.

UPDATE
Everything was fine with your original code. Keep the code as it was initially. The only problem was line userModel = new AllUser(); in method updateButtonActionPerformed. It was creating new object of AllUser instead of using the current one. So you should remove this line from updateButtonActionPerformed . and change the NewUserFrame_Edit constructor as follows:
public NewUserFrame_Edit(AllUser userModel/*Add this parameter*/,UserInformation userinf, int row) {
...
this.userModel = userModel;
jTextField1.setText(userinf.getFname().toString().trim());
jTextField2.setText(userinf.getLname().toString().trim());
if (userinf.getGender().equals("Male")) {
jRadioButton1.setSelected(true);
} else {
jRadioButton2.setSelected(true);
}
jTextField3.setText(userinf.getDate());
selectedrow = row;
setVisible(true);
}
change your as updateButtonActionPerformed follows:
private void updateButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
//userModel = new AllUser();//Comment it.
userinf = new UserInformation();
userinf.setFname(jTextField1.getText());
userinf.setLname(jTextField2.getText());
userinf.setGender(gender);
userinf.setDate(jTextField3.getText());
userModel.setValueAt(userinf.getFname() , selectedrow, 1);
userModel.setValueAt(userinf.getLname() , selectedrow, 2);
userModel.setValueAt(userinf.getGender(), selectedrow , 3);
userModel.setValueAt(userinf.getDate() , selectedrow, 4);
userModel.updateFile(userModel.Udata);
NewUserFrame_Edit.this.dispose();
}
And changeeditUser(int row) method of class UserPage as follows:
public void editUser(int row)
{
UserInformation userInf = userModel.getSelectedMember(row);
NewUserFrame_Edit edit = new NewUserFrame_Edit(userModel,userInf, row);
}
Here is your updateFile methd:
public void updateFile(ArrayList<UserInformation> data) {
PrintWriter pw;
try {
pw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("AllUserRecords.txt"));
for (UserInformation userinf : data) {
String line = userinf.getID()
+ " " + userinf.getFname()
+ " " + userinf.getLname()
+ " " + userinf.getGender()
+ " " + userinf.getDate();
pw.println(line);
}
pw.close();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
}
}

Another way to implement changes through JTable is to use the code template below:
table.getModel().addTableModelListener(new TableModelListener(){
/**
* Called when table has been changed.
*/
#Override
public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) {
int row = e.getFirstRow();
int column = e.getColumn();
TableModel model = (TableModel) e.getSource();
String newdata = (String) model.getValueAt(row, column);
model.setValueAt(newdata, row, column);
// do your update with the newdata variable.
}
});
Here you can use the actual event to get the row and column of the cell that has been changed in the JTable variable.

Java JCombobox do not change the image in JPanel

I have a problem.
I have an element that would JPanel.
In this JPanel would be four JButtons and image.
This image is 'green LED lights' that would change depending on which JButton would be pressed.
It works very well.
But also I want the JComboBox to change this paramter.
And here's the problem.
Although the parameter (from 1 to 4) is changing,(this shows JLabel near LEDs),
but the picture (LED lights) do not want to change it to the right one.

Could someone help me, what am I doing wrong?

Your image is only begin loaded in the actionPerformed method of your Triggers class, which means when you call setValue in response to the stateChanged event thrown by the Presets class, no new image is begin loaded.
Move your image loading logic so it is either in the setValue method or triggered by the setValue method

Nimbus L & F: Setting different background colors of a Check-Boxes in a CheckBox List

I had a list of check-boxes and I want to set different colors on each check-box.
Following code does not change the background color
checkBox[i] = new JCheckBox();
checkBox[i].setEnabled(false);
checkBox[i].setBackground(Color.GREEN);
Kindly let me know way of setting background color

for example

Try setting your CheckBox Opacity to true.
myCheckBox.setOpaque(true);
