Power Table Row Select via mouse click

How would I get a cell value from the Power Table on a row selection using a mouse?

I tried the mouseClicked event, but it fires after I click the row, then click on an empty section of the Power Table. So, now I am trying the onMousePress extension function, but it tells me that I cannot use:

table = event.source
val = table.data.getValueAt(...)

because it has no attribute data.
So then what? I have used this code on a normal Vision table...

The event object is referring to the mouse event. There is a value object that references the value of the clicked upon location. If that doesn't work for what you are attempting then you can use self.data, according to the manual a reference to the component is passed as self to the event.

Object value - The value at the location clicked on.

Component self - A reference to the component that is invoking this function.

Thanks Ryan.
Funny, I just figured out another way just as you replied, and combined the two here:

def onMousePress(self, rowIndex, colIndex, colName, value, event):
	table = event.source
	recipe = table.getValueAt(rowIndex, 0)
	self.parent.selectedRecipe = recipe
	
	data = self.data
	val = data.getValueAt(self.selectedRow, 'RecipeID')
	print val

Interestingly, using event.source I must use an integer valued index, but using self.data I can use the column heading as well.

event.source.getValueAt is calling the method on the actual JTable:

data.getValueAt is calling the method on Dataset, which is overloaded to accept column names as well:

Note that if you ever sort or filter the table data you'll have to account for that.
