having problems simulating a key stroke in Java

Thread view:

I have a table that I hide and show in my program. When a value in one of the cells is changed - the table has no problems showing this new value, but when I want to parse the data in this table into usable form by grabbing what's in each cell, I get the old value for this specific cell. The only way for me to get the updated value is if the user happened to click on another cell or pressed the enter key before pressing the ok_button to hide the table.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm sure I'll have to use some kind of listener to simulate a 'enter' key stroke but I'm not sure about how to do this. If anyone have some sample code for this I'd appreciate it especially because I'm not having much luck implementing this so far.

thanks in advance,
KO

I'm sorry, I don't know what c.l.j.programmer is? Is this a website or some kind of acronym?

thanks, KO

One tip:

you're now posting in c.l.j.gui (short for comp.lang.java.gui)

But I see by your headers that you're posting using a website that is a
gateway to this newsgroup.

You can use the newsgroups directly by going to groups.google.com, or by
using a real news client (even MS Outlook can use newsgroups).

Okay so now I know the answer is out there some where because Andrew answered a similar request by mine, but after much searching - I'm still not able to find this information anywhere.

I looked all through the posts on Google and couldn't find it. Is there an easier way? Andrew if you read this - do you know around the time frame you would've written the reply?

It most probably is.

No, I was being sarcastic and trying to
get the message across that you should
not be multi-posting.

For the record, that is as far as I am
able to help you (not much experience
w/JTables, but a lot of experience on
how to lose sources of information [read
people] through bad posting practices).

Perhaps you can get a more sensible response
to your _code problem_ if you post your code
here at comp.lang.java.gui, but please read
the following carefully prior to doing so.

Another thing is that your lines of text are
very long, this causes problems with some
news readers (lowering your chance of
follks reading it, and giving an answer).

There is usually a setting in a newsreader
that will automatically wrap the lines.
I recommend setting it no higher than 75 chars.
