Copy from Jtable

Hi,

I am able to copy from a JTable using CTRL-C. I didn't do anything about
that. I would like to know what method is called when I press CTRL-C so I
can call this method when I select Edit-Copy in my menu bar.

Thanks,
Marie

Hi,

Google just told me that :

KeyStroke keyStroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("ctrl c");
ActionListener action = table.getActionForKeyStroke( keyStroke );
action.actionPerformed( null );

Regards,

Arnaud

Thanks a lot!
I've tried both these two methods and they create an ActionListener that is
not null (it's actually the same), but it doesn't work... When I press the
copy button, it still doesn't copy anything... What am I doing wrong?

KeyStroke keyStroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('C',
java.awt.event.InputEvent.CTRL_MASK);
ActionListener copyAction = table.getActionForKeyStroke(keyStroke);
copyBt.addActionListener(copyAction);
//or
ActionListener copyAction2 = table.getActionMap().get("copy");
copyBt2.addActionListener(copyAction2);

Thanks,
Marie

For future references, what I did is this:

copyButton.addActionListener(new CopyListener());

class CopyListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getSource() == copyButton) {
e.setSource(table); //table is a JTable
ActionListener copyAction2 = table.getActionMap().get("copy");
copyAction2.actionPerformed(e);
}
}
}

And it works great!!!
