I am trying to select/focus a row of a TableView programmatically.
I can select a row, but it is not getting rendered as focused (not highlighted). I have tried many combinations of the code below, but nothing seems to work.
table.getSelectionModel().select(0); table.focusModelProperty().get().focus(new TablePosition(table, 0, column)); table.requestFocus(); Is it possible to highlight a row programmatically?
I am using JavaFX 2.2.21
Try putting your request for table focus first and then wrapping the whole thing in a runLater.
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { table.requestFocus(); table.getSelectionModel().select(0); table.getFocusModel().focus(0); } }); 
table.getFocusModel().focus(0); is not needed, but I would also add scrollTo as well.
Java 8:
Platform.runLater(() -> { table.requestFocus(); table.getSelectionModel().select(0); table.scrollTo(0); }); Java 7:
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { table.requestFocus(); table.getSelectionModel().select(0); table.scrollTo(0); } }); I have two components: a ListView and a TableView. When an item in the ListView is clicked, I want the focus and selection to move to the TableView and render the selected component in the TableView. To accomplish this, I did it with:
void listViewClickHandler(MouseEvent e){ A a = listView.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem(); if(a != null){ // some stuff // move focus & selection to TableView table.getSelectionModel().clearSelection(); // We don't want repeated selections table.requestFocus(); // Get the focus table.getSelectionModel().selectFirst(); // select first item in TableView model table.getFocusModel().focus(0); // set the focus on the first element tableClickHandler(null); // render the selected item in the TableView } void tableClickHandler(MouseEvent e){ B b = table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem(); render(b); } table.getSelectionModel().select(0); works for me. Maybe the problem is in your css?
