Color coded text area

How can I make a text area that when you type, if it is a reserved word it change it's color, like JCreator or some editor

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.

Search the Swing forum using "syntax highlighting" as the keywords to find other postings on this topic. You may even find my "SyntaxDocument" solution which will work for Java but not other programming languages.

Coping Color Coded Text from PLSQL Editor

Does anyone know a way to capture the color coded text from the Reports PLSQL editor so it can be pasted into MS Word? A normal copy and paste does not copy the color and I would like the color coded text as part of the report documentation.
Thanks

How to make it so that DW shows color-coded text for a file type?

Hi,
I work with ".inc" files, which I include into PHP files.
At the moment DW just shows all of the text within .inc files
as black. How can I get DW to color-code the text (like it does
with other files such as html or php) so that I can make it easier
to read?
Cheers!

I meant something like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("test");
frame.setSize(200, 50);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JTextArea txtField = new JTextArea();
txtField.setForeground(java.awt.Color.RED);
frame.add(txtField);
frame.setVisible(true);

Palm Desktop 4.2 - Text of color coded calendar entries are hidden for some colors

Environment:
Treo 680
Palm Desktop 4.2 running on Windows XP Pro
Color coded calendar entries have been working great since I got my phone over a year ago. When I added a new color category (bringing my total to 7 categories) I noticed that some of my calendar entries showed the color coded bar for the appointment, but the text for the entry was hidden. Nor was I able to edit the entry using Palm Desktop since any attempt to select the entry tries to create a new entry.
Thinking that I had exceeded a limit for the number of color categories I deleted the new category (so the entries were now unfiled). Now, all but one of my color categories are affected (color bar for appointment, but no text visible), including those marked with a category of "undefined".
The only color that now shows the text for calendar entries is my default category (not unfiled). This affects all of my existing calendar entries and any new ones I create, regardless of whether I create them on the Treo or using Palm Desktop.
If I press <tab> to cycle through my appointments on the page, it selects only those for my default color cateogry where the text of the entry is visible (i.e. it skips all the other appointments).
The calendar entries are all visible on my Treo, thankfully.
I have not installed any new apps or updates.
I've not been able to find anyone else reporting this problem.
My next step will be to restore my backup from last week, but I was hoping to avoid that if possible, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Pardon my ignorance, but where do I set categories to all?
Tools > Categories
Whichever category I select here becomes the default category and its entries will be visible, but all other categories will be hidden. My only other options are New, Delete, Rename and Help.
The only other configuration setting for categories that I can find is under
Tools -> Preferences
I have the checkbox "Display color-coded categories" checked
Thanks!

I have messages in mail that are color-coded as if by a rule, but I have no rules set. How can I correct this?

The only rule that I ever had in Mail was the default one that color coded messages from Apple blue. I notice that some messages are color-coded brown and I have no rules set at al (hence no rule to turn off.) Some of the messages are related to viewing online magazine, but not all. How can I stop this?

Hi. Thanks for your message.
Well, I understand what you are trying to say but I thought it was easier to categorize in Apple Mail.
On Entourage I just click twice on a sender address, record it on Address book and give it a colour that I previously defined as "Work", "Personal", "Customers", "Suppliers", "Friends" or whatever.
As Apple Mail don't have Address Book as part of it but an outside feature it's very annoying. Of course I am used to use a software and I don't expect now Apple Mail do everything as Entourage but... as someone said it seems Apple Mail stopped in time. The recent version seems the first one ever issued. I hate the way Mail.app handles attachments by placing big chunky previews right in my email. I prefer them to be named attachments listed somewhere else, out of the content of my email. I don't if I can change this via terminal commands? Can you tell me if that is possible?
I don't understand why Apple Mail have lots of plugins instead of a great improvment from the backstage.
I use Apple computers since ever and I love this machines but sometimes I don't understand this lake of improvments.
Take a look at this link:
http://scottworldblog.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/microsoft-entourage-vs-apple-mail /
Of course I don't agree 100% with him but some things are true...

Different color text in text area???????

hi,
i am working on applet in which i want to show different color text in text area????????
could any one help me

I'm not sure it replies, we have developed an
editorkit for the JEditorPane for colorizing a
text with a property file describing a grammar. We
provide in the packaging a trivial sample
for coloring a java syntax in an applet.

And of course it also requires that you buy it, and a.brillant forgot to mention that a.brillant has a financial interest in this product.

hi,
u should use swing component JTextPane instead of textarea to change the color of the text.
for eg:
JTextPane textPane;
JScrollPane panescrollpane;
textPane=new JTextPane();
panescrollpane=new JScrollPane(textPane);
panescrollpane.setVisible(true);
String[] initString =
request+newline
String[] initStyles =
{ "regular"
Style def = StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext().
getStyle(StyleContext.DEFAULT_STYLE);
Style regular = myClient.textPane.addStyle("regular", def);
StyleConstants.setFontFamily(def, "SansSerif");
StyleConstants.setForeground(regular,Color.orange);
Document doc = textPane.getDocument();
try {
for (int i=0; i < initString.length; i++) {
doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), initString,
textPane.getStyle(initStyles[i]));
} catch (BadLocationException ble) {
// System.err.println("Couldn't insert initial text.");
Hope this helps..
regards,
Kalpana.

My Color Coded Calendar Events Are Not Shown

My Color Coded Calendar Events are not displayed on my iphone. The events sync fine but they don't have the appearance that Outlook 2003 has. Dots on a calendar don't do me much good. What am I missing?

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that I saw in the "Intro to the new iphone" thing here on the apple site that this thing displayed the Label Color of my events. But no, I just watched it again and saw that it shows the different calendars I have in different colors. I'm very bummed (at myself for misunderstanding it). This is my first ianything so I'm not very familiar with apple. Is there somewhere that I can place an enhancement request?

What I found after taking out the heights from the text areas is that I was left with uneven text column lengths (alternating beige areas). So I created a repeatable jpg with the same alternating beiges and put it as the background of the bodyArea tag. Again, if there is a better way, please let me know!
A repeating background image to 'fake' equal height columns is perfectly ok.
It won't work IF your page is responsive but it isn't so no problem. If it were responsive a better solution would be to take advantage of the css property display: table; and display: table-cell;
In reference to your footer background color not showing I would assume you have floated items within the footer container. If so then you need to clear those floated items which allows the footer container to wrap itself around the floated items inside it.
You would do this by using css - overflow: hidden; - on the parent container which has the floats inside it.

Drawing a colored cursor on a text area given coordinates

Hi all,
Does anybody know how to draw a telepointer ( ie. a small coloured arrow like the cursor) given point coordinates on a text area? Please help.

This may help... just set the transparency in the png or use a gif
Image cur = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "cursor.png");
Cursor myCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(cur, new Point(0, 0), "name");
textarea.setCursor(myCursor);

Is there a way to restore the earlier color-coding format?

If there is a workaround to restore the earlier color-tag format, I would love to know it.
In the alternative, I've submitted the following to Apple and wanted to share it with the community also, in case there is no workaround and others would like to add their voice in addressing the issue:
The new single-dot color coding of tags in Mavericks doesn't work for me AT ALL.
I have been relying on Apple's full-width color coding for quite some time because it could help me easily discern—at a glance—different file versions, project statuses, and other workflow particulars—without having to read the filenames' text. In other words, it's been a convenient right-brain workflow.
The key here, of course, is the idea of "easily" and "at a glance." The new Mavericks color coding both extends and confounds my workflow—I now must do an additional visual search of any given list of files, especially because my filenames are often long (informational) and their middle section (in the column view) is likely truncated to conform to Apple's default narrow column formatting.
The purpose and point of color coding is to reduce time and complexity and aid organization. However, the Mavericks version now requires (1) doing a visual scan of an entire column of filenames, instead of a visual "grab" of whole bands of color without any need to read the filenames, (2) locating the color dots at the ends of those column lines and making sure they correlate with the proper text (left-brain/right-brain work instead of just staying right-brain), (3) making a color comparison of extremely small fields of color (tiny dots instead of full-wide bands), and (4) implementing a visual/mental check step to ascertain that that a particular color dot is the correct one. Because of the added confusion of having to do "manual" left-to-right visual placement, it becomes necessary to add the step of expanding the filenames (column widths) to get certainty.
I'm guessing that at this early point in the Mavericks proliferation you'll likely want to dig your heels in to defend and preserve all the involved and extensive work you did to produce the update, but I strongly urge you to revisit the particular design decision mentioned here. It makes it tougher for us out here using the program, and it works against your PR efforts: I'm now less likely to trust your design decisions and will be much less likely to implement future updates or champion them.
If I could uninstall Mavericks and get my previous version back, just for this one item alone, I would. It's been a mainstay feature for me, and one of the things I've lauded to non-Mac users to encourage them to venture Apple.

Downgrade Mavericks to Your Previous System
For Lion or Mountain Lion
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to a Mountain Lion Installer app or USB flash drive installer:
   Partition and Format the hard drive
      1. Select the target volume you wish to use.
      2. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menubar.
      3. In Disk Utility select the target volume from the left side list. Click on the
          Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. Set the Partition Scheme to one
          (1) from the drop down menu. Set the Format type to Mac OS Extended,
          Journaled. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
          Quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Quit the Main Menu to return to
          the installer.
Install Lion/Mountain Lion: Select install Lion or Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. .
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
For Snow Leopard or Earlier
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.
