Hi Friend,

Try the following code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import javax.swing.plaf.basic.*;

public class ComboBoxInTableCell {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f=new JFrame();
f.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
String data[][] = {{"",""},{"",""},{"",""},{"",""}};
String col[] = {"",""};
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data,col);
JTable table = new JTable(model);
TableColumnModel tcm = table.getColumnModel();
for(int i=0;i<2;i++){
TableColumn tc= tcm.getColumn(i);
tc.setCellEditor(new ComboEditor());
}
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(table);
f.add(jsp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setSize(400, 300);
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
class ComboUI extends BasicComboBoxUI {

Thanks

when i select an option in combo box for e.g. "city" & write city name in a text field for e.g. "Delhi" & click on button "show details", then i want a JTable to be displayed showing all the data from database having "city" as "Delhi".

later when i change option in combo box for e.g. "name" & write name in text field for e.g. "xyz" & click on button "show details", then i want the same previous(showing "city") JTable to now show all the data from database with "name" as "xyz". so the data should be updated in JTable.

can you plz help me?
