I've noticed an annoyance with using JSpinner, particularly as a table editor.
It works fine if you just use the up/down buttons to change the valiue. It also seems to work fine if you manually type in a number. However, once you move out of the field, the edited value goes away and is replaced by the previous value. This is apparently because of the disconnect between the JSpinner.editor.textField and the JSpinner.model. When you use the up/down buttons, each time the value changes, the method "JSpinner.commitEdit()" is called, to "commit" the value from the textfield into the spinner model. When you edit the value manually, however, there is no such automatic moving of the textfield value into the model. Despite this, I could probably work around this if the JSpinner wasn't a table editor. Normally, I could just add a FocusListener to the component, and call "JSpinner.commitEdit()" on "focusLost()". Unfortunately, the way table editors work, they never actually get the focus, and so don't lose it. I tried setting up a DocumentListener on the textfield, to call "commitEdit()" on any changes, but I found that causes an IllegalStateException, because the call to "commitEdit()" actually modifies the textfield. I suppose I could wrap the call to "commitEdit()" in "invokeLater()", if that was really the way to do this. First of all, am I doing something wrong that is making this harder than it should be? Is there a way to properly resolve this? -- =================================================================== David M.
