I've to JTables. I drag a row from the first table and drop it to the second. The DnD operation works fine so far, but how can easily refresh the second table after dropping operation? I've implemented a TableModelListener, but it works only when I double click on a line of a table.
My question: which event listener do I need to solve my problem? Any solutions or examples?
btw: the DnD operation is performing with the tranferHandler
ok here's some code:
please keep in mind that i wrote quickly. ..
Thanks and regards!
