problem getting the selected row in jtable

[randy butler]

All, having a issue with getting the current selected row in my jtable. it returns -1 so its like its not seeing the selected row from the user. here is my code

public void initComponents() {
        try {
          
       testframe mf = new testframe();
       
       int n = mf.PartToolOrderTable.getSelectedRow();

        setTitle("Updation of data...");
        setBounds(325, 325, 400, 350);
        setResizable(false);

        //cotainer
        cpane = getContentPane();
        cpane.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

        panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(10, 1, 5, 0));
        idlbl = new JLabel("ID Code: ");
        txtid = new JTextField();
        txtid.setText((String) mf.PartToolOrderTable.getValueAt(n, 0));   

thanks

In order to get non -1 for selected row, the table's row needs to be highlighted. So is your mf.PartToolOrderTable a table? When is the initComponents() method call? If it is for initializing like the name suggest, then your selectedRow() shouldn't be in this method.

Thanks for the reply I figured it out though. I was calling the wrong constructor
