PivotTablePane popupmenu problems

[michaelb88]

Hi,

I'm using a PivotTablePane and I'm having problems with the popup on the data table.

The pop up gives you the ability to sort ascending and decending and hide and show columns when you right click. However, I want to add a new option to this but extending it and I'm not sure how to do this. I have looked though the api for PivotTablePane.getDataTable() but am having no luck any ideas.

Thanks
Mike

Please override DataTable#createContextMenu() to achieve your goal. A better solution is to invoke PivotTablePane#setDataTablePopupMenuCustomizer() to add your menu customizer.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried using the PivotTablePane#setDataTablePopupMenuCustomizer() but I was not sure how to write the customiser code as all I want to do is add an extra item to the popup menu and retain the current functinallity. Is this possibe?

Please give the following code a try.

Code: Select all

        _pivotTablePane.setDataTablePopupMenuCustomizer(new PivotTablePane.PopupMenuCustomizer() {
            public void customize(JPopupMenu menu, Component target) {
                menu.add(new JMenuItem("test"));
            }
        });


Thanks,

Thanks that does the trick.

One last question is it possible to have the data cell in the datafield highlight when you right click. I noticed you can only do this on the left click. This is becuase I would like to use the data in the cell that is clicked on when the popup menu appears.

Currently I'm using a private class PivotTableMouseListener which extends MouseAdapter. However the following code:

public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON2) {

fails to allows me to access the data that is selected with the right mouse button. The goal to use this information when the user press the option in the popup menu.

Thanks again
Mike

If you give plain JTable a try, you will see that right click on the table cell won't make selection. JIDE PivotTablePane follows the pattern. Please try to make selection in your mouse listener.

Thanks for the fast responses.

I've been trying to use the following code, so that when the right mouse button is pressed I can get a print out of the row and column for the location the right mouse button was pressed over. This would be good enough, as I can highlight it from the listener with these details.

However, my problem is that when I right click it brings up the popup window, but I don't recieve and event in the listener. Do you know how I can right click to get the pop up but also get the corrodiantes of the click in the listener.

Thanks
Mike

Code: Select all


   table.getDataTable().addMouseListener( new MouseAdapter()
      {
         public void mouseClicked( MouseEvent e )
         {
            if ( SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton( e ) )
            {

            }
            else if ( SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton( e ) )
            {
               System.exit(0);
               Point p = e.getPoint();
                     
               int rowNumber = table.getDataTable().rowAtPoint( p );
               int colNumber = table.getDataTable().columnAtPoint( p );

log.out(rowNumber + " : " + colNumber);




                  }
         }
      });

Please try to invoke PivotTablePane#setDataTablePopupMenuCustomizer() with the following customizer class.

Code: Select all

    class Customizer implements PivotTablePane.PopupMenuCustomizer, PivotTablePane.TablePopupMenuCustomizer {
        public void customize(JPopupMenu menu, Component target) {

        }

        public void customize(JPopupMenu menu, Component target, int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
                // this method will have row and column information.
        }
    }

Thanks again.

I still have a few problems with the below code.

Your correct that it has the location of the popup which is ideal, but when it comes to highlighting the cell it is not doing it in the same manner as you have set up the left click. Also it does not not apear to highlight the cell when you click on the mouse and the popup apears but only when you hold the mosue button down before the popup appear and also after you have selected you options. Do you have any ideas how to get the cell to hightlight in the same manner as you have the left click set up and how to make the cell appear highlight while the popup menu is actived. Note the first first problem may solve the second problem.

Thanks
Mike

    class Customizer implements PivotTablePane.PopupMenuCustomizer, PivotTablePane.TablePopupMenuCustomizer {
        public void customize(JPopupMenu menu, Component target) {

        }

        public void customize(JPopupMenu menu, Component target, int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
           JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem();
           item.setText("Item");
           menu.add(item);
     

         table.getDataTable().setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
         table.getDataTable().getSelectionModel().setSelectionInterval(rowIndex, rowIndex);
         table.getDataTable().getColumnModel().getSelectionModel().setSelectionInterval(columnIndex, columnIndex);

         
           }
    }

As mentioned in previous post, you have to add your mouse listener to the table to make cell selection as you wish. The popup menu customizer is not supposed to perform the job and that's why you encounter those issues.
