JComboBox on Jtable

[GermánS]

Hello everyone, im tired, and i can get any progress on a project im developing, im trying to use a JTable wich have different kind of data, some specific columns will display an Object i created my self wich represents some customers documentation, it have 3 possible states, "not applicable", "in order", "out of date". I was thinking of implementing this column with a JComboBox, originally had the idea, of using a custom combobox, in wich you could select the tag "not applicable", or a checkbox, wich you could select and check in case it is "in order" or leave unchecked if it is "out of date", but firist i preferred to test it with 3 tags in a combo box with the corresponding names, and make it change the background color to red in case it is "out of date", green if it is "in order" and yellow if it is "not applicable". Loading testing clients, i have no problem, at least on the beggining, but then i have a button, wich i would like to use to set this table to editable or not editable, and allow you to change the data from the different cells, then i start having problems, firist, when i click on the comboboxes, it loses the background color, and the font, and the whole column shows the Object info instead the combobox, untill i click on that cell, i can actually select any of the 3 components form the comboboxes, but it doesent update the background color, it remain as default, and if the combobox is "dropped down" and then click the button to edit, and make it not editable, this cells only remains editable.
I dont know if im really tired, but its been 2 days im trying different stuffs to solve this, or even get different results but im stucked, i think is pretty much im missing something, or im "aiming to high".

Here i post what i think is important from the code

the renderer for the document renderer

package renderers;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
import datos.Documento;

public class DocumentoRenderer extends JComboBox implements TableCellRenderer{
	
	public DocumentoRenderer(String[] items)
	{
		super(items);
	}
	public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
			JTable table, Object value,
			boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
			int row, int column)
	{	
		Documento temp = (Documento)value;
		if(isSelected && hasFocus){
			this.setForeground(new Color(0,0,250));
		}
		else{
			this.setForeground(new Color(0,0,0));
		}
		if(!temp.seAplica()){
			this.setSelectedIndex(0);
			this.setBackground(new Color(250,250,10));
			
		}else if(temp.estaPresentado()){
			this.setSelectedIndex(1);
			this.setBackground(new Color(10,250,10));
		}else{
			this.setSelectedIndex(2);
			this.setBackground(new Color(250,10,10));
		}

		return this;
	}
}

Action listener i use to set the whole table to editable or not editable

...
String[] temp = {"No aplica","Presentado","No Presentado"};
...

	ActionListener setEditable = new ActionListener(){
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0){
		
			if(!flag){
				inferior.setBackground(new Color(250,0,0));
				flag = true;
				model.editable(true);
				table.getColumnModel().getColumn(7).setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(new DocumentoRenderer(temp)));
				table.getColumnModel().getColumn(8).setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(new DocumentoRenderer(temp)));
				table.getColumnModel().getColumn(13).setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(new DocumentoRenderer(temp)));

			}else{
				inferior.setBackground(fondo);
				flag = false;
				model.editable(false);
			}
		}
	};
...
/*
*Part of the code on te JPane where i add the Defaultrenderer to the Documento Object
*/
...
		table.setDefaultRenderer(Documento.class, new DocumentoRenderer(temp));
...

and finally my own implementatin of the TableModel (dont hate me too much im learning)

package carpetacomitentes;

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Vector;

import javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel;

import datos.Comitente;

	private Object[][] datos ={};
	private static boolean esEditable = false;
	
	public ModeloDeTabla(Vector<Comitente> comitentes, boolean fisico){

		if(fisico){
			Iterator<Comitente> it = comitentes.iterator();
			//contador que determina la fila
			int i=0;
			while(it.hasNext()){
				Comitente temp = it.next();
				cargaComitente(temp, i);
				i++;
			}
		}
		
	}
	
	private void cargaComitente(Comitente comitente, int fila){

	}
	public static void editable(boolean b){

Consider condensing the text of your question a bit, checking your question for spelling and grammar problems or use of non-standard abbreviations (remember, many of us here do not speak English as a native language), and creating a small compilable and runnable program that demonstrates your problem. This will make it *much* easier for us to help you.

[GermánS]

Yes, i'm sorry, english is not my native languaje either, i learned it from the internet, so is the best i can do without a spell check program, i'm working on the small compilable program, i will try to upload it soon.

[GermánS]

Ok, here we go again, i did not have enough time yesterday to make a compilable test, and i was hoping my mistakes were a frecuent mistake, so anyone with experience would be able to correct me faster.
So, the firist time i compile and run this program, it show me the data as i want to, especially the comboboxes, but once i click on the "edit" button and try to drop down the list of the comboboxes, the problems start to show, if i click on the firist element of each column, it lose the background, and if then i click on other cell the entire column is shown as if it had no render.
Also, if the firist cell i click, after compiling and running the program, and click on the "edit" button, is any other than the firist cell on any column, and try to select other value on the combobox, it just trhow an exception and the program stop working.

I don't know if you did not realize the "Documento" values in the table are (false, false), so them all are "not apllicable", however that mistake have origin in my Testing program , is a problem on the assignation inside the Documento(boolean, boolean) constructor.

...

	/**
	 * Constructor i will use to instance the Documento objects
	 * @param aplica
	 * @param pres
	 */
	public Documento2(boolean aplica, boolean pres){
		/*
		 * it shouldn't assume aplica = false and presentado = true.
		 */
		
		if(aplica){
			this.aplica = true;
			presentado = pres;
		}else{
			this.aplica = false;
			presentado = false;
		}
	}
...

It is not a big problem, but, i found it while i was checking your program, i'm trying to figure out the changes you made, providing me new posibilities, like the toggle button you used, i like it better.

[GermánS]

Wow!, in fact making that change, almost solve the whole problem in your implementation. It was my fault, since when i tryied to adapt my original program, the constructor i had there used other parameter names, i changed them in the new program version.

[GermánS]

Thank you a lot, you helped me, summarizing: i needed to add the CellEditor, extending the AbstractCellEitor, and implementing the TableCellEditor. And the toggle Button is usefull. Still, i'm trying to find out how to "de-select" the current comboBox when i click and "un-toggle" the Edit button, since if i "un-toggle" this button, the selected combobox remains "editable" until i take away the focus.

[Fubarable]

Some changes to stop editing when focus is lost:

   public Prueba2() {
      JPanel btnPanel = new JPanel();
      btnPanel.add(editableBtn);

      DocumentoEditor documentoEditor = new DocumentoEditor(temp);
      TableColumnModel tableColumnModel = table.getColumnModel();
      for (int i = 0; i < table.getColumnCount() - 1; i++) {
         TableColumn column = tableColumnModel.getColumn(i);
         column.setCellEditor(documentoEditor);
      }
      
      // add this to all selection of a single cell
      table.setColumnSelectionAllowed(true);
      
      // add this to allow the cell editor to stop when focus is lost
      table.putClientProperty("terminateEditOnFocusLost", Boolean.TRUE);

      setLayout(new BorderLayout());
      add(new JScrollPane(table));
      add(btnPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
   }

[GermánS]

Oh thats great, i have to sit and read that putClientProperty method Docummentation.
