A JTable is a subclass of JComponent for displaying complex data structures. A JTable can follow the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern for displaying the data in rows and columns. A JTable can generate TableModelListener, TableColumnModelListener, ListSelectionListener, CellEditorListener and RowSorterListener interfaces. We can detect the double click events of a JTable by using a MouseAdapter class or MouseListener interface. We can set the getClickCount() value to '2' of a MouseEvent class for detecting the double click events of a JTable.
Example
import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.table.*; public final class DoublClickJTableRowTest extends JFrame { private JTable table; private JScrollPane scrollPane; public DoublClickJTableRowTest() { setTitle("DoublClickJTableRow Test"); String[] columnNames = {"First Name", "Last Name"}; Object[][] data = {{"Raja", "Ramesh"}, {"Adithya", "Sai"}, {"Vineet", "Kumar"}, {"Krishna", "Kasyap"}}; table = new JTable(data, columnNames) { public boolean editCellAt(int row, int column, java.util.EventObject e) { return false; } }; table.setFocusable(false); table.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() { public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me) { if (me.getClickCount() == 2) { // to detect doble click events JTable target = (JTable)me.getSource(); int row = target.getSelectedRow(); // select a row int column = target.getSelectedColumn(); // select a column JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, table.getValueAt(row, column)); // get the value of a row and column. } } }); scrollPane= new JScrollPane(table); add(scrollPane); setSize(375, 250); setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setLocationRelativeTo(null); setVisible(true); } public static void main(String[] args) { new DoublClickJTableRowTest(); } }
