How to get the table whose cell is currently being clicked?

Question

I've two tables in panels. When I click on first table on some cell, its row is getting selected. And when I click on the second table on some cell, its row is also getting selected.

Now, How will I come to know, which table is last clicked. I tried with isRowSelected on both the tables, both are returning, so I'm not able to find the last clicked table?

Can somebody help me?

some code will be helpful, have you tried with click events? — magodiez, Jun 04 '12 at 12:48

I don't know if this must be determined from a MouseListener or from a ListSelectionListener, but the simplest solution is similar: use a different listener for each table:

table1.addXxxListener(new XxxListener() {
    // here, you know it's table 1
}


table2.addXxxListener(new XxxListener() {
    // here, you know it's table 2
}

Another way to do it is to check the source of the event:

new ListSelectionListener() {

    @Override
    public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
        if (e.getSource()==table1.getSelectionModel()) {
             // Event comes from table1
        } else if (e.getSource()==table2.getSelectionModel()) {
             // Event comes from table2
        }
    }
}

Of course this is true if and only if the selection model is used by a single table (which is the case if you have not set your own ListSelectionModel)
