      javax.swing.plaf.TableUI

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.event.MouseListener, java.awt.event.MouseMotionListener, java.util.EventListener, javax.swing.event.MouseInputListener

public class BetterTableUI
extends javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTableUI
implements javax.swing.event.MouseInputListener

BetterTableUI allows a JTable to be disabled by listening for MouseEvents and then forwarding them to the usual MouseInputHandler only if the table is enabled.

This class also works around a bug where an editable table's selection is changed when clicking in an edit cell while the control key is down. This typically happened while users were copying/pasting data from cell to cell.

To use, call JTable.setUI() on any JTable with a BetterTableUI as the parameter.
