## Method Details

### getTableCellEditorComponent

Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column)
Sets an initial `value` for the editor. This will cause the editor to `stopEditing` and lose any partially edited value if the editor is editing when this method is called.

Returns the component that should be added to the client's `Component` hierarchy. Once installed in the client's hierarchy this component will then be able to draw and receive user input.

Parameters:
  `table` - the `JTable` that is asking the editor to edit; can be `null`
  `value` - the value of the cell to be edited; it is up to the specific editor to interpret and draw the value. For example, if value is the string "true", it could be rendered as a string or it could be rendered as a check box that is checked. `null` is a valid value
  `isSelected` - true if the cell is to be rendered with highlighting
  `row` - the row of the cell being edited
  `column` - the column of the cell being edited
Returns:
  the component for editing
