Hello All, and thanks for any help.

I have a jTable that is populated with an array of strings. During the
course of the program these values get changed depending on the selection of
a jcombobox. What I have noticed is that I am unable to set the initial
values back in the table. I can set the values to any other of my data
string arrays except the initial ones. I am using the setValue method of the
table model. Here is the jtable tablemodel constructor:

class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
String[] columnNames = {"Nom. dia.","Dia. (in)",
"Instal. Cost",
};
Object [][] data = pipeschedlight;


public int getColumnCount() {
return columnNames.length;
}

public int getRowCount() {
return data.length;
}

public String getColumnName(int col) {
return columnNames[col];
}

public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
return data[row][col];
}

/*
* JTable uses this method to determine the default renderer/
* editor for each cell. If we didn't implement this method,
* then the last column would contain text ("true"/"false"),
* rather than a check box.
*/
public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();
}

/*
* Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
* editable.
*/
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
//Note that the data/cell address is constant,
//no matter where the cell appears onscreen.
//if (col < 2) {
//return false;
//} else {
return true;
//}
}

/*
* Don't need to implement this method unless your table's
* data can change.
*/
public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
if (DEBUG) {
System.out.println("Setting value at " + row + "," + col
+ " to " + value
+ " (an instance of "
+ value.getClass() + ")");
}

data[row][col] = value;
fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);

if (DEBUG) {
System.out.println("New value of data:");
printDebugData();
}
}

private void printDebugData() {
int numRows = getRowCount();
int numCols = getColumnCount();

for (int i=0; i < numRows; i++) {
System.out.print(" row " + i + ":");
for (int j=0; j < numCols; j++) {
System.out.print(" " + data[i][j]);
}
System.out.println();
}
System.out.println("--------------------------");
}
}

Cheers,

Jacques

OK, there`s probably a better solution but I found a workaround.

I initialize the jTable grid with values that I will never use or call again and this solves the problem.

I've tried your code and it seems fine to me.

How exactly does selection of a JComboBox change
the array values? It seems to me that if all the
changes to pipeschedlight happen via a call
to theInstanceOfMyTableModel.setValue() that
all will be well.

I found a work around, it seems that the array that contains the initial values entered into the table cannot be re-used so I use another array for initial values represented by pipeschedinitialvalues[] that I do not use again and then everything works.

I think I understand your work-around, but from your
code it makes no sense that it should make a difference.

If you want to be done with it, fine, but otherwise my
questions from the Oct 17 post stand.
