I'm trying to enable ctrl c on the actual cell of the Jtable, instead of the whole row. I know how to disable the ctrl c on the whole row.
KeyStroke cStroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_C, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK);
inputMap.put(cStroke, "none");
I have tried the following to add a ctrl c to the cell itself: adding a keylistener to the table itself. It did not work. And the following code:
Action actionListener = new AbstractAction() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
System.out.println("activated");
}
};
KeyStroke cStroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_C, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK);
inputMap.put(cStroke, actionListener);
It did not print activated.
I have read JTable: override CTRL+C behaviour but it does not contain an answer, at least not a specific answer..
You can copy selected cell's content to the clipboard like this:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
public class CopyCell
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JTable table = new JTable(
new String[][] {{"R1C1", "R1C2"}, {"R2C1", "R2C2"}},
new String[] {"Column 1", "Column 2"});
table.getActionMap().put("copy", new AbstractAction()
{
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
String cellValue = table.getModel().getValueAt(table.getSelectedRow(), table.getSelectedColumn()).toString();
StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection(cellValue);
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(stringSelection, stringSelection);
}
});
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(table));
f.setBounds(300, 200, 400, 300);
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
