Use JSpinner like JTable cell editor

Question

Hi all, i'm using a JSpinner like a table cell editor, i have one annoying problem:

The cell remains in NON-editable mode until i click into it, for NON-editable i mean that i can't write into it(it has not focus so it doesn't accept inputs keyboard) but i can change the value with up-down arrows(of keyboard).

So, what i have to do to focus my table cell as soon as i press a key when it is selected?

Except for that problem my SpinnerEditor class works quite well.

Thanks all.

Ok, my solution now is this:

spinner.addFocusListener(new FocusListener() {

    public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {

        // editor is ((JSpinner.DefaultEditor)spinner.getEditor()).getTextField();
        // necessary to set focus on the text component of jspinner
        editor.requestFocus();

        // this if you want to select the displayed text of jspinner
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                System.out.println("run");
                editor.selectAll();
            }
        });
    }

    public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {}
});
