jTable right-click popup menu

Question

I have a SQL database and I am working on a program that will allow me to add/delete/modify records. I already managed to add records I am working on editing/deleting them.

Answer 1

Here is an example on how to do that. The easiest way to achieve this, is to set a JPopupMenu on the JTable directly.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Vector;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPopupMenu;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

public class TestTableRightClick {

    protected void initUI() {
        final JFrame frame = new JFrame(TestTableRightClick.class.getSimpleName());
        Vector columns = new Vector(Arrays.asList("Name", "Age"));
        Vector> data = new Vector>();
        for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
            Vector row = new Vector();
            for (int j = 0; j < columns.size(); j++) {
                row.add("Cell " + (i + 1) + "," + (j + 1));
            }
            data.add(row);
        }
        final JTable table = new JTable(data, columns);
        final JPopupMenu popupMenu = new JPopupMenu();
        JMenuItem deleteItem = new JMenuItem("Delete");
        deleteItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame, "Right-click performed on table and choose DELETE");
            }
        });
        popupMenu.add(deleteItem);
        table.setComponentPopupMenu(popupMenu);
        frame.add(new JScrollPane(table), BorderLayout.CENTER);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                new TestTableRightClick().initUI();
            }
        });
    }
}

In case you want to automatically select the row where the right-click was made, add the following snippet:

popupMenu.addPopupMenuListener(new PopupMenuListener() {

            @Override
            public void popupMenuWillBecomeVisible(PopupMenuEvent e) {
                SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        int rowAtPoint = table.rowAtPoint(SwingUtilities.convertPoint(popupMenu, new Point(0, 0), table));
                        if (rowAtPoint > -1) {
                            table.setRowSelectionInterval(rowAtPoint, rowAtPoint);
                        }
                    }
                });
            }

            @Override
            public void popupMenuWillBecomeInvisible(PopupMenuEvent e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

            @Override
            public void popupMenuCanceled(PopupMenuEvent e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }
        });
