How to implement a mask in a JtextField??? Is it possible???

I wish to have a masked edit box in Java ( a control present in VB). It is similar to a JTextField. In the control, if I specify a mask for data entry such as 99/99/9999 the box will appear on the form with dashes as --/--/----, and it will allow data entry only on those dashes and only numbers. Similarily for characters you specify "#".
Anyone has an idea of java controls that can be used in Java for this purpose???
I already know how to validate a date��.for that I used SimpleDateFormat�..but I would like that in the jtextfield appears something like --/--/---- because my user will introduce the date.
Thanks in advance,
Mary

Yes it is possible.....i found how reach it...
date = new JFormattedTextField (new MaskFormatter("##/##/####")) ;
Thanks any way,
Mary

How to implement autocomplete?

Hello,
I have a String array with strings in non-alphabethical order.
I would like to implement autocomplete (just like in IE address line) on a JTextField.
I guess I'll need to put some listener on textfield, but which? And how to handle array - sort it before use? Any other possibilities?

Well, first you'd need something to compare the String being typed in to, so that you know what the user might be trying to type. Then, I guess you'd need a KeyListener on text field, so each time a key is pressed, you run a search and return all the possible Strings that could match it.
I'd be a little lost as to how to implement the drop-down list like IE (or Windows in general) has to handle auto-complete. The other way to handle it would be to have the word fill itself into the textbox as you type, leaving the guessed part highlighted so you can continue to type, and continue to get suggestions. This approach seems a bit easier, and could be handled fairly easily.

Mask in a JTextField

How I set a mask (for example for a date) in a JTextField??? I think that I can make it using a Document, but how???
Thanks in advance!!!

First sorry for one mistake: TextDocument is not a standard class, the right one is PlainDocument.
Here is an example:
public class TextDocument extends PlainDocument{
    protected int characterLimit = 10;
     private int firstDayDigit = 0;
     public TextDocument() {
          this(10);
     public TextDocument(int limit) {
          super();
          characterLimit = limit;
      * Process the input from the user and check for the
      * right numbers.
     public void insertString(int offset, String str, AttributeSet attrib) throws BadLocationException {
          if(offset == 0 && !str.equals("00.00.0000")){
               try{
                    firstDayDigit = Integer.parseInt(str);

               try{
                    int digit = Integer.parseInt(str);
               }catch(NumberFormatException nfe){
                    str = "0";

How to Implement BW in IT Service Desk/IT Help Desk /IT Complain Surveillance Dept/IT Customer Support Dept?

Hi
If a organization have 200 to 300 daily complains of there IT equipment/Software/Network e.t.c.
How to Implement BW in IT Service Desk/IT Help Desk /IT Complain Surveillance Dept/IT Customer Support Dept?
Is there any standard DataSources/InfoObjects/DSOs/InfoCubes etc. available in SAP BI Content?

Imran,
The point I think was to ensure that you knew exactly what was required. A customer service desk can have many interpretations from a BI perspective.
You could have :
1. Operational reports - calls attended per shift , Average number of calls per person , Seasonality in the calls coming in etc
2. Analytic views - Utilization of resources , Average call time and trending , customer satisfaction , average wait time
3. Strategic - Call volumes corresponding to campaigns etc , Employee churn and related call times
Based on these you would then have to construct your models which would be populated by data from the MySQL instance for you to report.
Else if you have BWA you could have data discovery instead or if you have HANA - you could do even more and if you have a HANA sidecar - you technically dont need BW. The possibilities are virtually endless - it depends on how you want to drive it and how the end user ( client ) sees value in the same.

Hi Siddhehswar:
I would suggest that you use the
Ribbon. Because this is a flexible way for SharePoint. In my project experience, I always suggest my customers to use it. In the feature, if my customers have customization about permission then i can accomplish this as soon
as possible. Simple put, I utilize this perfect mechanism to resolve our complex project requirement. Maybe we customize Upload/ Edit/ Modify/ Barcode/ Send mail etc... For example:
We customize <Edit> Ribbon. As shown below.
When user click <Edit Item>, the system will
render customized pop up window.

Can't Figure Out How To Implement IEnumerable T

I have no problem implementing IEnumerable but can't figure out how to implement IEnumerable<T>. Using the non-generic ArrayList, I have this code:
class PeopleCollection : IEnumerable
ArrayList people = new ArrayList();
public PeopleCollection() { }
public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()
return people.GetEnumerator();
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
PeopleCollection collection = new PeopleCollection();
foreach (Person p in collection)
Console.WriteLine(p);
I'm trying to do the same thing (using a List<Person> as the member variable instead of ArrayList) but get compile errors involving improper return types on my GetEnumerator() method. I start out with this:
class PeopleCollection : IEnumerable<Person>
List<Person> myPeople = new List<Person>();
public PeopleCollection() { }
public IEnumerator<Person> GetEnumerator()
throw new NotImplementedException();
IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
throw new NotImplementedException();
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
// Create a PeopleCollection object.
PeopleCollection peopleCollection = new PeopleCollection();
// Iterate over the collection.
foreach (Person p in peopleCollection)
Console.WriteLine(p);
Console.ReadLine();
That code compiles (basically because I haven't really done anything yet), but I get compile errors when I try to implement the GetEnumerator() methods.

The List<T> class implements the IEnumerable<T> interface, so your enumerator can return the GetEnumerator call from the list.
class PeopleCollection : IEnumerable<Person>
List<Person> myPeople = new List<Person>();
public PeopleCollection() { }
public IEnumerator<Person> GetEnumerator()
return myPeople.GetEnumerator();
IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
return myPeople.GetEnumerator();
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
// Create a PeopleCollection object.
PeopleCollection peopleCollection = new PeopleCollection();
// Iterate over the collection.
foreach (Person p in peopleCollection)
Console.WriteLine(p);
Console.ReadLine();

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by [email protected]:
Henrik, the Java importer lets you call Java classes on the app server side - I think what Ali is trying to do is integrate on the client side.
If you want to add your own button then if you extend the standard Forms button in Java and then use this class name in the implementation class property then the Java for your button will be used instead of the standard Forms button. And since it has extended the basic Forms button it has all the standard button functionality.
There is a white paper on OTN about this and we have created a new white paper which will be out in a couple of months (I think).
