[SOLVED] JTable cell does not fire key events when editing is forced on the cell through editCellAt(row,col)

JTable cell does not fire key events when editing is forced on the cell through editCellAt(row,col)

Below is the snippet of my code. I have a JTable. I have extended the DefaultCellEditor to create my own editor.I have key listeners and mouse listeners added for the cells.I have a JButton as well. When i click on the JButton, i want the first cell in the JTable to enter edit mode.. For this i have used requestFocus and editCellAt(0,0). I have put this code in the actionperformed.

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
     System.out.println("action performed");

     if(e.getSource().equals(btn))
     {
    oTable.requestFocus();
    oTable.setRowSelectionInterval(0, 0);
    oTable.editCellAt(0, 0);
     }
}

This places the cursor in the first cell. But when i type anything, the key events are not fired! Note: if i use my mouse to click on the cell and then type, it does fire key events. But I don't want to do this extra click.

Solution

Seems to work for me. Maybe you can try the following:

table.editCellAt(0, 0);
table.getEditorComponent().requestFocus();
