JTable

[Helen Wallace]

Hi all,

I have a problem with JTable. I have a table from which I get the value of a particular cell from the selected row thus:

 
id = (String) myTable.getModel().getValueAt(myTable.getSelectedRow(), myTable.getColumnModel().getColumnIndex("column1"));
 

The problem is I thought that by using the column name instead of an integer to get the column from the table I would avoid the problem of getting the wrong column if the columns were moved around table. This is not so. When I move the columns around I get the wrong column from the table and hence the wrong value from the row. Am I doing something obviously wrong here?

Is there for instance something I'm missing in the table model:

    
 
DefaultTableModel myModel = new DefaultTableModel(rows, columns) {
   public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
      return false;
   }    
};    
 

Cheers

Helen

        TableColumnModel tcm = table.getColumnModel();
        TableColumn tc = tcm.getColumn(tcm.getColumnIndex("Name"));
        System.out.println((String) table.getModel().getValueAt(table.getSelectedRow(), tc.getModelIndex()));
