停止JTable仅在聚焦并按下键时才可编辑

Question

I wrote a custom DefaultCellEditor so that when I type in the length column of the example JTable I can not enter anything but numbers in it.

To do this I added a KeyListener to the JTextField that is used as the editor component. Whilst this works great if you double click on the cell to edit the value, it does not work if you click on the cell once and then start typing.

How can I prevent the user from being able to edit the cell if they click on the cell once and then start typing, whilst still allowing the user to double click on the cell to start editing it?

Answer 1

Stop JTable being editable only when focussed and key pressed

Well, this is the default behaviour when you edit a cell with string data.

Why should it be any different when you try to enter numeric data?

I wrote a custom DefaultCellEditor so that when I type in the length column of the example JTable I can not enter anything but numbers in it.

No need to write a custom editor. Just use a JFormattedTextField as the editor instead of a JTextField:

Something like.

MaskFormatter format = new MaskFormatter("######");
JFormattedTextField ftf = new JFormattedTextField( format );
DefaultCellEditor dce = new DefaultCellEditor( ftf );
table.getColumnModel().getColumn(2).setCellEditor(dce);

Answer 2

Take a look at CellEditor.isCellEditable( EventObject anEvent ) . AbstractCellEditor and DefaultCellEditor implement the CellEditor interface.

You can override this method to return false in case the EventObject is instance of type KeyEvent . Otherwise return super.isCellEditable( anEvent ) .

Answer 3

Referring to TT.'s answer and using a DefaultCellEditor like the original question does it is as simple as adding this method in your DefaultCellEditor .

public boolean isCellEditable(EventObject anEvent) {
    if (anEvent instanceof MouseEvent) {
        return ((MouseEvent)anEvent).getClickCount() >= clickCountToStart;
    }
    return false;
}
