how to get the currently selected row fo a jtable?

[kulangotski]

hi, I was trying to use a jtable somehow as a trigger for other events like if a row gets selected another window would pop up.

tried to give the table itself the mousepressed event using eclipse but when I click it, it does nothing.

I was wondering how can I get the selected row on a jtable?

Without any code snippet its a guessing game as to why 'it does nothing'. Recommend using a ListSelectionListener (see How to Use Tables (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)) to listen for selections, unless you want the behavior to be defined by a mouse click. To get the selected row(s), call getSelectedRow() or getSelectedRows()

hey, thanks for the advice.. was able to use the tutorial you recommended. thanks, and one more question

when I use the List Selection Listener it triggers twice. when I click the items on the table it triggers twice. but when I just press the mouse key it will trigger one time and when I release it , it will trigger again. can you give me any ideas so that the listener would trigger once?

The ListSelectionListener may appear to be fired 'twice', but its can be fired for selection changes (even when values are changing). Try filtering out selection only when they are not adjusting

public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent event){
    if ( !event.getValueIsAdjusting() ){

    }
}
