Hello Everyone
I have an Internal frame in my application which has a JTable populated with values from a database and a JButton which performs some operation when a row is selected from the JTable.When the user does not select a row from the JTable and clicks the JButton, I would like to show a message asking the user to select a row from the table first.I have tried a few things but none seemed to work.Could someone point me in the right direction please.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

At a quick look what you've got seems OK. What exactly is the problem with the code you posted?

Thanks for getting back.The code compiles and runs fine,but clicking the button without selecting a row does not bring up the dialog.Tried quite a few variations but nothing seems to work.

Time for some debugging:
Add a print statement at the start of your actionPerformed to see if its being called.
Print table.getSelectedRow() just before the if, to see if it's what you expected.

from a quick look id say the problem is that you are adding the annonymous internal mouseListenner to JButton "b" INSIDE the JTable's mouse clicked event.
So when you click the button before selecting a row, nothing happens because no listenner have been added to it yet.

^ yes! Well spotted! Yet another demo of why correct indentation is essential.

agreed, what kind of life would we have if everyline started at the left margin! :O

Hi
Thanks for nailing it.That did the trick.Coming to the indentation part I'll keep that in mind for the future.
