Using custom TableModel make isCellEditable true for a particular row on button click

Question

I have a table like above. Initially all the cells except button column are not editable. I have created the table using custom TableModel. My isCellEditable in custom TableModel looks like this:

public boolean isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) { 
    //System.out.println("isCellEditable: " + rowIndex + " " + columnIndex);
    if(getColumnClass(columnIndex) == JButton.class)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}

But when I click on the Edit button of each row a JDialog will pop up with that row (by constructing a JTable in this dialog with only one row.) I can update the cell values in this JDialog's table. and then update them in the respective cells of that row.

I successfully updated the main table's row after updating here, only if my isCellEditable return true. But this should not happen. Only when I click then I should be able to change isCellEditable of the row as Editable and update and then make it uneditable.

I have seen the following post but was unable to implement it.

XxxTableModel stores String.class for JButton as Renderer / Editor for JTable

• Table Button Column

and for your code (is based on) too

• Button Table Example

}

both returns the same GUI, with the same ...
