Hello,

I have a quick question about getting information out of a table cell. I am using a mouse listener to check for which row was selected then having the information moved into respective text fields. I am using a mouse listener because it's the only type of listener I can get to work.

I understand that table.getValueAt(int,int) returns information however when I try this it's only returning the position of the row(such as 1,2,3,4,etc). How can I get it to return the actual value that is in the cell and not the location of it?

Thanks!

@Criel: Would you mind sharing your solution?

Just to add as well for future readers, the MouseEvents the MouseListener deals with return the (x,y) coordinates of the Events. You can use these coordinates, passing them to the JTable rowAtPoint() and columnAtPoint() methods. The values returned from those methods are what you want to pass to the JTable getValueAt() method.

For JTable use a SelectionListener that extends ListSelectionListener

	class SelectionListener implements ListSelectionListener {

		public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
			if(e.getValueIsAdjusting())			// mouse button not released yet
				return;
			int row = getSelectedRow();
			if(row < 0)							// v clearSelection
				return;
			int col = getSelectedColumn();	
			
			if(col < 0)							// vrai lors d'un clearSelection
				return;

			// cell a (row,col) has been clicked
			clearSelection();
		}

I was just making a silly mistake, all I did was create a method and call it in my mouseClicked method.

private void rowIdentifier(int row) {
		//System.out.println("asdf " + row + " asdf");
		idTFInfo = (String) customerTable.getValueAt(row, 0);
		firstNameTFInfo = (String) customerTable.getValueAt(row, 1);
		lastNameTFInfo = (String) customerTable.getValueAt(row, 2);
		MITFInfo = (String) customerTable.getValueAt(row, 3);
		addressTFInfo = (String) customerTable.getValueAt(row, 4);
		phoneTFInfo = (String) customerTable.getValueAt(row, 5);
		cityTFInfo = (String) customerTable.getValueAt(row, 6);
		stateTFInfo = (String) customerTable.getValueAt(row, 7);
		zipTFInfo = (String) customerTable.getValueAt(row, 8);

		idTextField.setText(idTFInfo);
		firstNameTextField.setText(firstNameTFInfo);
		lastNameTextField.setText(lastNameTFInfo);
	    miTextField.setText(MITFInfo);
	    addressTextField.setText(addressTFInfo);
	    phoneTextField.setText(phoneTFInfo);
	    cityTextField.setText(cityTFInfo);
	    stateTextField.setText(stateTFInfo);
	    zipTextField.setText(zipTFInfo);
	}

	private void mouse() {
		customerTable.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){		
			public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
			{

				Point p = e.getPoint();
				int row = customerTable.rowAtPoint(p);
				int column = customerTable.columnAtPoint(p);
				rowIdentifier(row);

				
			}
		});

@pbl: Is there a benefit for using SelectionListener if I got the mouse listener to work with the JTable?
