[FIXED] How detect which column selected in JavaFX TableView?

Issue

How to detect, which column(name or id whatever) was selected when user clicked on certain cell?

Solution

To enable individual cells to be selected, instead of entire rows, call

tableView.getSelectionModel().setCellSelectionEnabled(true);

To keep track of which cell(s) are selected, you can do

final ObservableList<TablePosition> selectedCells = table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedCells();
selectedCells.addListener(new ListChangeListener<TablePosition>() {
    @Override
    public void onChanged(Change change) {
        for (TablePosition pos : selectedCells) {
            System.out.println("Cell selected in row "+pos.getRow()+" and column "+pos.getTableColumn().getText());
        }
    });
});
