JTable listen for entering editing mode

Question

This is a pretty simple question, but I couldn't find an answer nonetheless (please forgive my clumsy searching ...). There's a Jtable with editable cells and I want to detect when a cell is being entered for editing (for instance by double-clicking). How would I do this?

Answer 1

Add a PropertyChangeListener to the JTable :

//
//  Implement the PropertyChangeListener interface
//
    @Override
    public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent e)
    {
        //  A cell has started/stopped editing

        if ("tableCellEditor".equals(e.getPropertyName()))
        {
            if (table.isEditing())
                // code for editing started;
            else
                // code for editing stopped;
        }
    }
