I swear... i hope this is the last question I have to ask like this, but I'm about to go crazy.
I've got a JTable using a custom TableCellRenderer which uses a JEditorPane to display html in the individual cells of the JTable. How do I process clicking on the links displayed in the JEditorPane?
I know about HyperlinkListener but no mouse events get through the JTable to the EditorPane for any HyperlinkEvents to be processed.
How do I process Hyperlinks in a JEditorPane within a JTable?
If you register a MouseListener on the JTable, you could easily get the text at the mouse click point. This would be done by generating a Point object from the MouseEvent, using event.getX() and event.getY(). You then pass that Point into JTable's rowAtPoint(pt) and columnAtPoint(pt). From there, you can get the text via JTable.getValueAt(row, column). Now you have the value of your cell, so you can determine whether it is a link or not and do what you'd like with the result.
The EditorPane isn't receiving any events because the component returned from the TableCellRenderer is only allowed to display, and not intercept events, making it pretty much the same as an image, with no behaviour allowed on it. Hence even when listeners are registered, the returned component is never 'aware' of any events. The work-around for this is to register a MouseListener on the JTable, and intercept all relevant events from there.
Here's some classes I created in the past for allowing JButton roll-over to work in a JTable, but you should be able to re-use most of this for your problem too. I had a separate JButton for every cell requiring it. With that, this ActiveJComponentTableMouseListener works out in which cell the mouse event occurs in, and dispatches an event to the corresponding component. It's the job of the ActiveJComponentTableCellRenderer to keep track of the components via a Map.
It's smart enough to know when it's already fired events, so you don't get a backlog of redundant events. Implementing this for hypertext shouldn't be that different, and you may still want roll-over too. Here are the classes
public class ActiveJComponentTableMouseListener extends MouseAdapter implements MouseMotionListener {
private JTable table;
private JComponent oldComponent = null;
private TableCell oldTableCell = new TableCell();
public ActiveJComponentTableMouseListener(JTable table) {
this.table = table;
}
@Override
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
TableCell cell = new TableCell(getRow(e), getColumn(e));
if (alreadyVisited(cell)) {
return;
}
save(cell);
if (oldComponent != null) {
dispatchEvent(createMouseEvent(e, MouseEvent.MOUSE_EXITED), oldComponent);
oldComponent = null;
}
JComponent component = getComponent(cell);
if (component == null) {
return;
}
dispatchEvent(createMouseEvent(e, MouseEvent.MOUSE_ENTERED), component);
saveComponent(component);
save(cell);
}
@Override
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
TableCell cell = new TableCell(getRow(e), getColumn(e));
if (alreadyVisited(cell)) {
return;
}
if (oldComponent != null) {
dispatchEvent(createMouseEvent(e, MouseEvent.MOUSE_EXITED), oldComponent);
oldComponent = null;
}
}
@Override
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
forwardEventToComponent(e);
}
private void forwardEventToComponent(MouseEvent e) {
TableCell cell = new TableCell(getRow(e), getColumn(e));
save(cell);
JComponent component = getComponent(cell);
if (component == null) {
return;
}
dispatchEvent(e, component);
saveComponent(component);
}
private void dispatchEvent(MouseEvent componentEvent, JComponent component) {
MouseEvent convertedEvent = (MouseEvent) SwingUtilities.convertMouseEvent(table, componentEvent, component);
component.dispatchEvent(convertedEvent);
// This is necessary so that when a button is pressed and released
// it gets rendered properly. Otherwise, the button may still appear
// pressed down when it has been released.
table.repaint();
}

if (!(renderer instanceof ActiveJComponentTableCellRenderer)) {

return activeComponentRenderer.getComponent(cell);
}
private int getColumn(MouseEvent e) {

return column;

To use it, you want to register the listener to as mouse and motion listener on the table, and register the renderer on the appropriate cells. If you want to intercept actionPerformed type events, override ActiveJComponentTableCellRenderer.initialiseComponent() like so:
protected void initialiseComponent(T component) {
component.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
stopCellEditing();
}
});
}
