org.tbee.swing.table
Class JTableMultipleCellsCopyAdapter

java.lang.Object
  org.tbee.swing.table.JTableMultipleCellsCopyAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.util.EventListener

public class JTableMultipleCellsCopyAdapter
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.awt.event.ActionListener

JTableMultipleCellsCopyAdapter enables Copy-Paste Clipboard functionality on JTables. The clipboard data format used by the adapter is compatible with the clipboard format used by Excel. This provides for clipboard interoperability between enabled JTables and Excel. NOTE: this adapter copies and pastes String, so the get- and setValueAt must be able to process strings. SetValueAt is not that difficult; if a certain col receives a string instead of the expected type, it needs to be converted. However getValueAt does not know when to return a String and when to return the actual class. So org.tbee.swing.table.JTable has a getValueAtAsString

This method is activated on the Keystrokes we are listening to in this implementation. Here it listens for Copy and Paste ActionCommands.
