Hello,

I am using a JTable and a custom editor to edit Color objects.

This is the cell editor class I have written:

public class CellEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements
TableCellEditor
{
private Color colour;
private JLabel jValue = new JLabel("");
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,Object
value,boolean isSelected,int row,int column)
{
   //cache the original colour
   colour = (Color)value;
   Color tmp;
   //get the chosen colour
   tmp =
JColorChooser.showDialog(Engine.getInstance().getParentWindow(),"Colour for
plot",(Color)value);
   //set the current colour to the chosen colour, if valid
   if(tmp!=null)
       colour = tmp;
   jValue.setBackground(colour);
   jValue.setOpaque(true);
   return jValue;
}
public Object getCellEditorValue()
{
   return colour;
}
}

When i have edited the cell in question the change is reflected in the
table.
However if i, for example, sort the table the last change is lost.  If i
change 3 cells using the above editor, the first two will persist.  The last
change will be lost.
For sorting i use TableSorter which i got from the sun website - but as i
understand it it should not affect things like i am experiencing.
I can provide the full code for TableSorter, but i think the problem may be
in my editor...
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Alex
