Hi,

A DefaultCellEditor class is used as a default editor for table and tree cells. A 'javax.swing.AbstractCellEditor' is nothing but the parent package for the DefaultCellEditor class of java. This java class implements four interfaces namely as TableCellEditor, TreeCellEditor, CellEditor, Serializable. A DefaultCellEditor class of java language is entends the class known as 'classAbstractCellEditor'

Following are some essential methods of the DefaultCellEditor class:

• shouldSelectCell(EventObject anEvnt)
• setClickCountToStart(int cnt)
• isCellEditable(EventObject anEvnt)
• getTreeCellEditorComponent(JTree tree, Object val, boolean bl, boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int rw)
• getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object val, boolean bl, int row1, int clm)

Following code of java will demonstrate you the use of DefaultCellEditor(JComboBox com) method of DefaultCellEditor class:

import javax.swing.DefaultCellEditor;
import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.tree.TreeCellEditor;

public class DefaultED {

  public static void main(final String args[]) {
    JFrame HBP = new JFrame("Editable Tree");
    HBP.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JTree tree = new JTree();
    tree.setEditable(true);

    DefaultTreeCellRenderer renderer = (DefaultTreeCellRenderer) tree.getCellRenderer();
    String elements[] = { "A", "B", "C", "D" };
    JComboBox comboBoxF = new JComboBox(elements);
    comboBoxF.setEditable(true);
    TreeCellEditor comboEditorF = new DefaultCellEditor(comboBoxF);
    TreeCellEditor editorF = new DefaultTreeCellEditor(tree, renderer, comboEditorF);
    tree.setCellEditor(editorF);
    JScrollPane scrollPane1 = new JScrollPane(tree);
    HBP.add(scrollPane1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    HBP.setSize(300, 100);
    HBP.setVisible(true);
