Hello,
I've got a problem with in my KTable that has a column that renders a
ComboBox of items. The issue I'm finding is that when a new row is added
to the table, the table does not refresh properly when a selection in made
in the column with the ComboBox. Initially the correct item appears
selected, but when I traverse to another cell the combo returns to the
default selection. I should say too that the table content does get
updated properly with the option selected by the user, its just that the
table does not get refreshed to display the changes in the underlying
content. Can anyone offer some advice?

Thanks in advance,
JS

Hi,

Not sure if I understand correctly:
You have a KTableModel that shrinks or grows the number of rows?
Since the KTable cannot know of such an event, be sure to do a
(selective) redraw on the KTable. Otherwise it might happen that when
redrawing single cells, values from the inserted row appear in another row.

About the Combo editor:
The editor is designed to write back the selected value when it is
closed. See the close(boolean) method. Thus, befor the editor is closed,
the model has the old value.

Thanks for your reply Lorenz. Yes, my KTable is designed to allow the
user to add and/or remove rows from the table. I'll try the selective
redraw and investigate using the close(boolean) method. I'll let you know
how I make out

Hi,

Just to make myself clear:
If the editor is opened, it always gets fresh data from the model -
which might not be the one that is currently drawn in the tablemodel.

The close()-method of the celleditor closes the editor, so you might
want to update the model information manually when you change from one
option to the next in the editors combo. Do that by subclassing the
editor and invoke KTableModel.setContent().
However, I have never really seen a case where it makes sense to save
every temporarily chosen editor value to the model. It is expected
behaviour that the edited data becomes valid after the editor is closed
normally, or is discarded when the edit action is aborted (for example
with the ESC key).

regards,
