Yes, from quick look at the JavaDoc that looks right to me. > OK, so basically what I have so far is a JTable which uses a custom cell > renderer for the structure's column.

One important method will be isCellEditable(EventObject evt). I do not know exactly what kinds of events you will get. It seems to me that you want to return true on a mouse down event. When you return true, the JTable code is going to call getTableCellEditorComponent(...). At this point, I think you just need to return your JmolPanel ... the same one that you are using for display. My understanding is that all mouse events will get routed to that Component. So, in fact, you will never even see those events; you will never need to call jmp.dispatchEvent directly. The JTable is already set up to dispatch the event to the tableCellEditorComponent. (keyboard events do *not* automatically get routed to the Component by JTable, but you don't need to worry about that) At some point the user is going to click someplace else in the table. When that happens the stopCellEditing() will be called. You do not need to do anything ... just return true. That is the path that I would pursue. Print plenty of stuff to stdout so that you know the state of the events that you are receiving. Keep us advised as to your progress.
