Java Forum / General / January 2006JTable InputVerifier
Hi, I'm using a JFormattedTextField as the editor for a JTable column and have added an InputVerifier to do validation. Even though the InputVerifier.verify method returns false it still allows the cell to lose focus simply returning the cell to the last valid value (the JFormattedTextField standard behaviour). Anyone know what's going onthere? (java 1.5) Cheers, Richard. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Cheers, Richard. Like you said, that is the standard behaviour. Create a new TableCellEditor (make your life easier, and use DefaultCellEditor) that doesn't call stopCellEditing and cancelCellEditing unless the value is valid. Cheers, I'll do that. just out of interest, is that the usual way to do this or a workaround? I had thought that attaching an InputVerifier to a component (which I believe a table cell is) was a perfectly viable way to verfiy input and hold the focus until a valid input is supplied e.g. I can use this method successfully on a JTextField or JFormattedTextField as long as it isn't in a JTable. >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > DefaultCellEditor) that doesn't call stopCellEditing and cancelCellEditing > unless the value is valid. > Cheers, I'll do that. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > e.g. I can use this method successfully on a JTextField or > JFormattedTextField as long as it isn't in a JTable. I've never used a JFormattedTextField, but I've heard they're trouble. So, I stay away from them. It's easy enough to implement custom listeners that verify input. > I've never used a JFormattedTextField, but I've heard they're trouble. So, > I stay away from them.

Implemented the stopCellEditing as you suggested, works great, Cheers again. Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months. There are no hidden fees and no obligation.
