Problems with Jtable and JTextField Binding

[vitesse wei]

Hi,Ranches

I have implemented a JTable in JScrollPane,Jtable's data comes from MyAbstractTableModel, which has a JDBC ResultSet,in JTable,data is displayed,and I can changed them,and save then back to database.
problem is that I add a JTextField in bottom of my JDialog,which is the container of JScrollPane,I want this JTextField binding with a JTable's field,in other words,I need bind the JTextField to one column of JDBC ResultSet,how to do that? or can I do that


any advice would be appreciated!

What exactly do you mean by binding the text field to the column? Can you please elaborate a bit more on what you are trying to do here?

Thanks for reply.

What I am doing here is that I don't want data to be edited in JTable cell,I want data to be edited in a JTextField in the bottom of form,because I have lots columns in JTable,so when user click a row in JTable,The JTextField which connect with a column should display that record's column's value,and let user to change the value?then change the resultSet in TableModel,later changes will submit to database.
thanks

What you need is a selection listener. You need to find out which row/column was selected by the user, pick out the values (getValueAt()) and display them in the text field(s).

Well I imagine, the user types in the edited value in the text field and hits enter or clicks on a save button or something to commit the edit. In that case you can have an action listener (which you can share between the button and text field). In the action performed, you will need to take the edited value and pass it on to the model. In the model's setValueAt() or whatever method you use, you will need to make the db call. Just make sure, that in case the db call fails, you do not update your model value.
