The program consists of a tabbed view with a few JTextField's and JButtons in the first two and 2 JTables and JButton in the third. The buttons work fine in the first two tabs, but on the third it is un-clickable. I tried changing the button to something else like a JComboBox or JTextField but those are uneditable and unclickable also. Setting the setEnabled() and setEditable() functions to true doesn't seem to work. I have no idea what's going on.
The only thing i have done different from normal is this piece of code to forcefully repaint the tab when I click on a cell in the table. But even when this hasn't been called i still cant
ContentIWantToRepaint.this.paintImmediately(ContentIWantToRepaint.this.getVisibleRect());
Some other information about the layout:
The contents of the tab are held in a JPanel with a GridBagLayout
JTextFieldJTextFieldAny suggestions?

Use this file to see how it doesn't work:
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class SystemStart{
private static String dbName = "dbnamehere.db";
public static void main(String[] args) {
//new TabbedFrame("Libary System");
JFrame jf = new JFrame("WORK!");
jf.add(new checkOutPanel());
jf.pack();
jf.setVisible(true);
jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
public static String getDbName(){return dbName;}
}
You're adding to the panel a label, then the table's header and then the scrollpane which contains the table (...and the table header). Remove the two lines where you're adding to mainGrid the table headers (you should just add the scrollpanes):
mainGrid.add(userTable.getTableHeader(), c); c.gridy++;
mainGrid.add(bookTable.getTableHeader(), c); c.gridy++;
Your button will work now.
