JTable insertRows() just adding blank rows

[Jacob_]

I can insert rows in my JTable while it is being created in initComponents(), but trying to insert rows later results in completely blank rows being added. Here is my code.

Initialization part:

    public static JTable propsTable = new JTable();
    public static DefaultTableModel propsTableModel = new DefaultTableModel();
    public static void initPropsTable()
    {
        propsTable.setModel(propsTableModel);
        propsTableModel.addColumn("Property");
        propsTableModel.addColumn("Value");
    }

(initPropsTable() is called from the initComponents() function added by the NetBeans editor)

And then the row insertion, which is in another class.

        myApp.propsTableModel.insertRow(0, new String[]{"aa", "b"});

I can copy and paste it exactly and put it in initPropsTable() and it will work there.

The data there was just for testing, but it happens with any data type. What might be the problem?

Well, if both methods have access to the same TableModel then it should work fine. Display the TableModel in both locations to make sure you have access to the same model.

If you need more help then post a proper SSCCE

Thanks! With some experimenting, I figured it out--the class was executing at the start of the program, so the UI hadn't had time to create itself... Throwing a

        Thread.sleep(500);

in did the trick.

I hate to say it but this solution smells bad. Without more info, that's about all I can tell.
