JTable Row-Editor

Question

I'm searching for an editor like in this example; I mean the "Pick a Color"-Frame, but for the whole row. Is it my issue to fully implement this, or can I expand some exsiting editors?

Answer 1

The default renderers and editors for common column data types are shown here . An editor is chosen for any cell in any row for which isCellEditable() returns true . You can also specify a custom renderer and editor, such as the color chooser you cited. Two recent examples are seen here , but the details depend on your use-case.

Addendum: something like an child window

You can pass a reference to the table's TableModel and the desired row number to your RowEditor . You'll have full access to the table model's methods, including getValueAt() , setValueAt() and getColumnClass() methods.

Answer 2

If you want the entire row, with columns A, B, C edited in a new child window as

A  ____
B  ____
C  ____

Then maybe you could make the row of some bean class Record, and use a java.beans.PropertyEditor to start with.
