TableModelListener event from keyboard - java

I Have a Jtable where a TableModelListener is listening
Implemented by
private void anadeListenerAlModelo() {
tabla.getModel().addTableModelListener(new TableModelListener() {
#Override
public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent evento) {
if (evento.getType() == TableModelEvent.UPDATE) {
System.out.println("Editing...");
}
}
});
}
And I want to detect when a cell is being edit but only if is edit from de keyboard, because, other events could update the content.
I only need when the user is editing a cell from the keyboard. It's this posible?
Thanks!

Check out the Table Cell Listener.
It listens for PropertyChange events on the table for when the cell editor is activated/deactivated and then notifies you when the data in the cell has actually been changed.

SWT Table - Checkbox / Highlight Listeners

I have a SWT Table with check boxes enable on the rows to allow TableItems to be selected. I currently have a listener on there
myTable.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event selectionEvent) {}});
This listener fires both when a check box for a row is checked and when a row is highlighted / selected, I haven't been able to find a way to separate these actions. Am I using the wrong listener or is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any help.
You can check within the Listener if it's a checkbox event or a selection event:
myTable.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener()
{
public void handleEvent(Event e)
{
if(e.detail == SWT.CHECK)
{
// Checkbox
}
else
{
// Selection
}
}
});

ComboBoxCellEditor only setting value on focus lost

Is there a way to set the value in a ComboBoxCellEditor other then when the focus is lost on the cell? I'm using it in each cell of a column in a TreeViewer and the only time that the setValue method is called is when focus is lost on the cell. So when a user makes a selection and doesn't click off of the cell the value is never set to the new selection. I've tried adding listeners on the ComboBoxCellEditor and on the control of the ComboBoxCellEditor but nothing seems to pick up the selection event.
I figured out that I needed to cast the control to a CCombo in order to add the correct type of listener to the ComboBoxCellEditor. Here's what I did:
CCombo combo = (CCombo) cellEditor.getControl();
combo.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener()
{
#Override
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent paramSelectionEvent)
{
//selection code here...
}
#Override
public void
widgetDefaultSelected(SelectionEvent paramSelectionEvent)
{
//do nothing here...
}
});

Set the checkbox of a CheckboxTableViewer when the row is clicked

I am very new to SWT. Started working on it today actually. I have a table of type CheckboxTableViewer. What i want to be able to do is whenever the user selects the row (i.e clicks anywhere on the row) I want the check box to be checked (ticked). Currently I have a listener on the CheckboxTableViewer as follows:
diagnosesTableViewer.addCheckStateListener(new ICheckStateListener() {
#Override
public void checkStateChanged(CheckStateChangedEvent event) {
Nomenclature changedStateNomenclature = (Nomenclature) event
.getElement();
if (event.getChecked()) {
selectedNomenclatures.add(changedStateNomenclature);
} else {
selectedNomenclatures.remove(changedStateNomenclature);
}
}
});
I am able to select the row by checking on the checkbox. But i want to select the check box even when the user selects the row by clicking anywhere on that row on any column (not just the checkbox).
I guess that logic would go somewhere in the addSelectionChangedListener for the addSelectionChangedListener. But I am not sure how to go about it. Can anyone help me with this?
Use this code: Add selection listener to the table. ctv is the instance of of your CheckboxTableViewer.
Also I assumed CheckboxTableViewer allow only single selection not multi.
ctv.getTable().addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
#Override
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
int df = ctv.getTable().getSelectionIndex();
ctv.setChecked(ctv.getElementAt(df), !ctv.getChecked(ctv.getElementAt(df)));
}
});

JTextField.selectAll() works strangely

I'm trying to implement a JTable which has to obey the following rules:
Only the 3'rd column's cells can be edited.
When double clicking any cell in row X, the 3'rd column of row X will start edit.
Whenever start editing a cell, the text inside of it will be selected.
I have a FileTable which extends JTable. In its constructor I have this lines:
getColumnModel().getColumn(2).setCellEditor(new FileTableCellEditor());
addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
if (e.getClickCount() == 2){
int row = rowAtPoint(e.getPoint());
editCellAt(row, 2);
}
}
} );
My FileTableCell editor is as follows:
public class FileTableCellEditor extends DefaultCellEditor {
public FileTableCellEditor() {
super(new JTextField());
}
#Override
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
final JTextField ec = (JTextField) editorComponent;
String textValue = (String)value;
ec.setText(textValue);
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
ec.selectAll();
}
});
return editorComponent;
}
}
My problem is when I double click on a cell which is not from the 3'rd column, The text edited on the 3'rd columns is not highlighted as selected text.

This is very odd to me, because I know the text is selected. When I write something it removes the text that was in that cell before. It just doesn't what is selected.
Oddly, when I double click the 3'rd column cell itself, it does highlight the selection.

Can someone pour some light?
Thanks!
You can try the Table Select All Editor approach. Don't forget to check out the Table Select All Renderer.
Your JTextField does not highlight the selection because it is not focused. Just add a ec.requestFocus(); right after ec.selectAll();. Then it works as expected.
Explanation: When you click on the editable column Swing will start cell editing (independently of your double-click listener) and forward the initiating event to the component. So the JTextField receives a click and will request focus. When you click on a different column, only your MouseListener initiates cell editing and the event will not get forwarded. (Forwarding the event would not help anyway as the click is outside the text field.) So you have to request the focus manually.

Change behavior of JTable key actions

I have a JTable with editable cells. When I click in a cell, it enters edit mode; the same happens when I'm moving through cell using the directional arrows.
Now I want to select the cell instead of start editing, and edit the cell only when the Enter key is pressed.
If any other information is needed, please just ask for it.
Edit: Action for Enter key
class EnterAction extends AbstractAction {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JTable tbl = (JTable) e.getSource();
tbl.editCellAt(tbl.getSelectedRow(), tbl.getSelectedColumn());
if (tbl.getEditorComponent() != null) {
tbl.getEditorComponent().requestFocus();
}
}
}
Now this is for left arrow action the rest of 3 are not hard to deduce from this one:
class LeftAction extends AbstractAction {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JTable tbl = (JTable)e.getSource();
tbl.requestFocus();
tbl.changeSelection(tbl.getSelectedRow(), tbl.getSelectedColumn() > 0 ? tbl.getSelectedColumn()-1:tbl.getSelectedColumn(), false, false);
if(tbl.getCellEditor()!=null)
tbl.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
}
}
And this is how you bind this actions:
final String solve = "Solve";
KeyStroke enter = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0);
table.getInputMap(JTable.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).put(enter, solve);
table.getActionMap().put(solve, new EnterAction());
final String sel = "Sel";
KeyStroke arrow = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_LEFT, 0);
table.getInputMap(JTable.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).put(arrow, sel);
table.getActionMap().put(sel, new LeftAction());
Oh,i almost forgot,to select the cell instead of edit on Mouse Click:
public static MouseListener mAdapterTable = new MouseListener()
{
#Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
{
JTable tbl=((JTable)e.getComponent());
if(tbl.isEditing())
{
tbl.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
}
}
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
JTable tbl=((JTable)e.getComponent());
if(tbl.isEditing() )
tbl.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
}
#Override
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
JTable tbl=((JTable)e.getComponent());
if(tbl.isEditing() )
tbl.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
}
};
The EventListner must be added to table like so:
table.addMouseListener(mAdapterTable);
Use Key Bindings for this. Most Look & Feel implementations already bind F2 to the table's startEditing action, but you add a different binding:
tree.getInputMap().put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0), "startEditing");
This will effectively replace the previous binding of Enter to the table's selectNextRowCell action.
Here is what i would do:
First enable the single cell selection for the JTable
Create a KeyAdapter or KeyListener for the JTable or for the JPanel,
what contains your table.
In the KeyAdapter's keyPressed() method enter the edit mode of the
selected cell, something like this:
http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/javax.swing.table/StopEdit.html
You can check in the keyPressed() method, if the user pressed the right button for editing. I'm not sure, if the normal (double click) editing is disabled in your table, then what happens, if you try to edit it programmatically, but if it doesn't work, then you can enable the editing on the selected cell, when the user presses the edit button, then when he/she finished, disable it again.
