Editing a Cell in JTable

[Harjit Singh]

Hi there,

I have a JTABle and 2 button under the table. When I edit a cell and Enter value with the cursor in the cell and hit the Button. I don't get the new value in the cell. If I click outside the cell (say the next cell) and then hit the button, I do get the new value. Is this the default behavior of JTable ?

Thanks

Try yourTable.putClientProperty("terminateEditOnFocusLost", Boolean.TRUE) and see if it helps.

Alas, this is poorly documented.

Yes JTable wants the user to press enter before it takes it.
I have this in one of my programs
JTable.putClientProperty(\"terminateEditOnFocusLost\", Boolean.TRUE); //make it like excel

Now when the cell looses focus it should save it.
I have no idea how we figured that out...

I just downloaded the SwingLab widgets.
Hoping that SwingLabs will be a little more intuitive
