Updating cell values in JTable in real time while typing - swing

I am using a JTable and I let the user fill it in with integers in one of the columns (the interface with the table pops out in a seperate window). When I type a value and press "ENTER" and then close the window everything saves fine. However, if I just type something in one of the cells and close the window, when I reopen it the new cell values are not there.
I would like the values to be updated in real time as I type every single character. Is it possible? I've tried applying a TableCellEditor, but I couldn't get it to work.
I've also tried add a KeyListener to the JTable, but the KeyPressed wouldn't invoke at all.

(making my comment an answer, so you can close it :-)
Assuming the input field is the editor inside the table itself, set the client property:
table.putClientProperty("terminateEditOnFocusLost", Boolean.True)

SikuliX IDE to fill more than one input field

I try to use SikuliX IDE to fill more than one input fields on the same screen. All the fields look like the same. I captured input field, click on it and use type to set value, but text is not present after that process.
Try wait() function between your actions, sometimes you need to wait the gui to get ready for your next action. The default time gap between actions may too tight.

Set unbound combo box to match on full string for not in list event

I have an unbound combo box that gets it's row source values using a select query in VBA. The values shown are filtered by other selections on the form. If a value entered is not on the list I have a prompt to ask the user if they would like to add a new record. So far this has worked without any problems.
I overlooked one issue. If the "new" item is a partial match the selection defaults to the partial match entry. (Ex. I want to add part 4321437 but part 4321437-01 is already present.) How can I get the field to match using the full field?
I have tried playing with auto expand, allow value list edits, show only row source values, and inherit value list. Nothing seems to stop it from auto-filling. I have also tried clicking out of the field versus tabbing out.
If I remove my for key-down event that displays the list options with the arrow keys, it works. However, the customer would like to keep that feature.
Is there a way to have both?
Thinking outside the box, perhaps consider using a TextBox in place of a ComboBox.
This way, using the AfterUpdate event, you would have full control over how the entered value is handled: test for a match in your dataset using a simple query and branch accordingly.
You could even cycle through existing options by successively populating the TextBox with existing values from your dataset on the KeyDown event triggered by the arrow keys.
I found a way to have both. In my Key Down Event, I check if the down arrow is pressed. If it is, I display the drop down menu.
If KeyCode = vbKeyDown Then
Me![cboNewPart].Dropdown
End If

Oracle Developer report, change field height

I am using oracle report 6i. I have a problem with the report design. I would like to change one of the field's height to be as high as another field. The second field does have not a fixed height, it depends on the data. So, I found Format Trigger, I have tried to get the height of the other field and set it to be in the current field, but I couldn't. Does anyone know?
I know it is an old question, but nonetheless ...
As far as I can tell, Format Trigger won't do any good here.
I'd go with creating a new frame that would contain both fields (how? Create it in Paper Layout Editor, paint it white (so that you can see what's going on), then move it "Back" until you see both fields appear "on top" of that frame, which means that they are contained in it). Make the frame variable vertically so that it could grow with field_1.
Another option you could try is to anchor field_2 to field_1.

Rearranging the tab order of fields in a sub form in data sheet view

This is an ongoing problem, and I'm hoping there is just a property that I'm missing.
Scenario: I have a form that contains subforms. The Default View property for the subforms is set to Datasheet. (The main form is set to Single Form). Due to changes in what I'm tracking, I want to include another field that wasn't part of the original record source. So, I changed the record source (a query) and added the field to the subform. The new field is added to the end of the Datasheet view by default.
Here is the problem - when I drag the column to a new location on the subform (in Form view or Layout view), it does not stay put. I have made the change using Form view and Layout view, and I've changed the Tab Index property for the field to the proper number.  The new position never stays on the first, or second, sometimes third and fourth try. I have tried saving in Form view, Layout view and Design view, but I always have to drag the column back to the new position and try to save again . This goes on until Access actually saves the change. drag, save, didn't take; drag, save, didn't take; drag...
What I'd like to know is this - how do I rearrange columns on a form that is set to "Datasheet" for the Default View property, and make it stick the first time?
Thanks for any suggestions - I must be missing something....
This is a known "limitation" of datasheets. Some want the columns fit or preset, other sticky, some either as selected by the user.
To control the order of the columns, adjust the ColumnOrder property of the displayed controls.

DOM - Select Value from a Field that has a Search Component and a Drop Down

I have been working on this forever. I have attached a first picture of the steps I am trying to do in VBA. This particular field that I have having trouble populating for a client of mine appears to be a drop down but when you click it, it has a search field. I know the option value I want the field to be set to but using doc.getElementbyID("id_referrer").selectedIndex = fieldValue is not working. See the first picture for the steps of what I'm trying to do, then the second picture for the behind the scenes look at the classes and then all the different commands that I've tried to populate this field. The save button works, but nothing ever is populated for the Referrer or it bombs.
