I have a multi threaded program and I'm trying to use a JTable to view the progress of each thread. Each thread is a row the JTable. I have posted a simplified and relevant code of what I have now. Each time I press start a new thread is started and the row is added to the JTable. But how do I update the "Column 2" which of the row which belongs to that thread from the running thread?
In main this is what I have
JTable table = new JTable(new DefaultTableModel(new Object[]{"Thread Name", "Progress"}, 0));
btnBegin.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
{
Thread newThread = new Thread(new MyThreadClass(country, category));
newThread.start();
DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel) table.getModel();
model.addRow(new Object[]{"Thread " + threadNumber, "Column 2"});
}
});
If you can add a field tableModel to
MyThreadClass
(field+constructor argument), from this class, you can invoke the code @sedran was mentioning.Example:
}
Please note that the use of
SwingUtilities.invokeLater
is important as the view MUST be refreshed in the EDT.
