URGENT!!!!!!!! ComboBox doesn't update if not "activated"

This is urgent...

I have a GUI in which a check box sets a value within a column of combo boxes in a table (all having their own cell editor). When I turn off the checkbox, I run through each editor, retrieve its model, set the selected item which calls an item event saying the combo box state was changed. This is essentially the same procedure as just setting the combo box by selecting and clicking the option you want, except I change the selected item without activating the combo box when I use the checkbox. I know I am truly activating the correct object of the combo boxes in the column, but the change is not displayed. The only time the change is displayed is if I currently have the combo box selected and then only that selected combo box displays the change (not the rest of the column). I have tried revalidating and repainting the combo boxes, the table, and the panel as well as firing the tableDataChanged event. Nothing seems to work. What should I do? I am not updating the table data when I change the combo box... is that wrong? How could I know which cell I'm in from inside the combo box when the selected item changes to update the table if that's what I'm doing wrong? I need to turn this in to my job this weekend, so please help!

> URGENT!!!!!!!!

Using a topic title like "URGENT" followed by exclamations is one sure way to not get an answer from people on the forum.

> This is urgent...

Not for us it isn't. Implying that your question is any more important than any other question on the forum is another way to not get a response.

Anyway your question is like big run on sentence and I have no idea what you are asking or what your problem is or what your code looks like.

If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program[/url] that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags[/url] so the code retains its original formatting.

am not updating the table data when I change the combo box... is that wrong?Yes, that is wrong. Update the table model and the table will display the new values.
