How to add row of data to Jtable from values received from jtextfield and comboboxes

Solution

Peeskillet's lame tutorial for working with JTables in Netbeans GUI Builder

- Set the table column headers

- Highglight the table in the design view then go to properties pane on the very right. Should be a tab that says "Properties". Make sure to highlight the table and not the scroll pane surrounding it, or the next step wont work

- Click on the ... button to the right of the property model. A dialog should appear.

- Set rows to 0, set the number of columns you want, and their names.

Add a button to the frame somwhere,. This button will be clicked when the user is ready to submit a row

- Right-click on the button and select `Events -> Action -> actionPerformed`

You should see code like the following auto-generated

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent) {}

The `jTable1` will have a `DefaultTableModel`. You can add rows to the model with your data

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent) {
    String data1 = something1.getSomething();
    String data2 = something2.getSomething();
    String data3 = something3.getSomething();
    String data4 = something4.getSomething();

    Object[] row = { data1, data2, data3, data4 };

    DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel) jTable1.getModel();

    model.addRow(row);

    // clear the entries.
}

So for every set of data like from a couple text fields, a combo box, and a check box, you can gather that data each time the button is pressed and add it as a row to the model.

Problem

I have a `JFrame` Form which has `JTextField`s, `JCombobox` etc. and I am able to receive those values to variables and now I want to add the received data to `JTable` in new row when user clicks Add or something like that. I have created `JTable` using net-beans the problem is what would be the code to add data from those variable to the rows of table. A basic example would be appreciated. I have tried numerous example and have added the code to `ActionListener` of the `JButton` but nothing Happens. The Examples I tried are. How to add row in JTable? and How to add rows to JTable with AbstractTableModel method? Any Help would be appreciated.
