[1]
Have a Table having a certain number of rows.want to create a pop up menu when user selects a cell and rightclicks from that cell.

But I read the following from the java tutorial:

>>To bring up a popup menu ( JPopupMenu), you must register a mouse listener on each >>component that the popup menu should be associated with. The mouse listener must >>detect user requests that the popup menu be brought up.

So is it possible to bring up the popupmenu when rightclicking on a certain cell ,rather than a component(Ofcourse cells belong to the component,but dont want the popup window to come up when right clicking on any cell in the table).How can I achive this behaviour.

[2]After clicking on one of the menuItem from the popupmenu,want a window with some data to be displayed as shown in the attached figure.This window should have scrollbars & each string should be in a different line in this window.
Also the window position or origin should be just below the cell where the right click occured.The window should vanish when selection is made on any other cells.

Would be nice if someone could tell me how these things are to be done.A code snippet would be great....

Thanks

You could always add a mouse listener to the JTable in general and this could query the JTable for which cell is currently selected to tailor the popup menu and correctly apply the operations it offers to the user.

Okay tim,So I have to just add the mouselistener to table.But still one thing is not clear to me.

>>and this could query the JTable for which cell is >>currently selected to tailor the popup menu and correctly >>apply the operations it offers to the user.

Is this done automatically or Should I have to do something.For eg:- if the cell is empty,dont want the popup menu to to come up.What should I do here programatically.

How about the 2nd question.Any tips...

Use something like the

getSelectedColumn();
getSelectedRow();

methods on the JTable. You may need to use the

setCellSelectionEnabled();

method to allow cell selection if you haven't already.
