Undo/Redo Managers

Hello again,
is there any classes for undo/redo on a StyledDocument to be used with a JEditorPane? If yes, which one?

Undo/Redo button are not performing more than one operation at a time

Hi,
I have created undo/redo button on my paint application. But it performing only last action to undo.I have just the code which store offscreen image into undo buffer image like this :
    if (OSC == null || widthOfOSC != getSize().width || heightOfOSC != getSize().height) {
                 // Create the OSC, or make a new one if canvas size has changed.
             OSC = null; // (If OSC & undoBuffer already exist, this frees up the memory.)
             undoBuffer = null;
             OSC = createImage(getSize().width, getSize().height);
             widthOfOSC = getSize().width;
             heightOfOSC = getSize().height;
             OSG = OSC.getGraphics(); // Graphics context for drawing to OSC.
             OSG.setColor(getBackground());
             OSG.dispose();
             undoBuffer = createImage(widthOfOSC, heightOfOSC);
              OSG = undoBuffer.getGraphics(); // Graphics context for drawing to the undoBuffer.
              OSG.setColor(getBackground());
              OSG.fillRect(0, 0,widthOfOSC, heightOfOSC);
               and the button performed it's action :
else if (command.equals("Undo")) {
             // Swap the off-screen canvas with the undoBuffer and repaint.
             Image temp = OSC;
             OSC = undoBuffer;
             undoBuffer = temp;
             repaint();I want to create undo button that performed end operation on canvas.
please help me
Thanks in advance....

Undo,redo not working properly with JPopupMenu

if i use JButton for undo ,redo it is working fine. but the same code is not
working properly if i add it in JPopupMenu.
what could be the problem.
thanks

what could be the problem.Your code is different or written incorrectly and since you didn't post any we can't help.
[url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/action.html]How to Use Actions
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

Lazy Notification and Command Undo/Redo

I have a two-part CS3 plug-in (model and UI). When I click on one of the checkboxes in the UI, it causes a command to be executed that highlights certain fields in the document and sets a persistent boolean indicating the state of the higlighting. I want to be able to uncheck the checkbox when an Edit > Undo is done using lazy notification, but I've been working on this for a few days now and I can't get it to work. I've made the following changes to the model plug-in code: 1. In the .fr file, I added this: AddIn { kDocWorkspaceBoss, kInvalidClass, { // Interface to the persistent prefs implementation IID_IVIPREFERENCES, kVIPrefsImpl, // Interface to the Toggle Highlighting command IID_IVIHIGHLIGHTCHANGE, kVISetHighlightDisplayedCmdImpl, } }, 2. In the command's DoNotify method, I do a ModelChange call with an 'interestedIn' parameter of IID_IVIHIGHLIGHTCHANGE. I've tried invoking this method on various subjects, e.g., document subject, document workspace subject, document preferences subject (i.e., getting my persistent interface on the workspace and then getting an ISubject interface on it), all to no apparent avail. I've made the following changes to the UI plug-in code: 1. In the .fr file, I added this: AddIn { kDocWorkspaceBoss, kInvalidClass, { // Interface to the preference change observer IID_IPREFSOBSERVER, kVIPUIPrefsObserverImpl, } }, 2. In the preference change observer's AutoAttach method, I do the following (with error checking removed here for clarity). I've tried various subjects besides the document workspace subject here as well... InterfacePtr<IActiveContext> ac(gSession->GetActiveContext(), UseDefaultIID()); IDocument *doc = ac->GetContextDocument(); InterfacePtr<ISubject> subject(doc->GetDocWorkSpace(), UseDefaultIID()); if (!subject->IsAttached(ISubject::kLazyAttachment, this, IID_IVIHIGHLIGHTCHANGE, IID_IPREFSOBSERVER) ) { subject->AttachObserver(ISubject::kLazyAttachment, this, IID_IVIHIGHLIGHTCHANGE, IID_IPREFSOBSERVER); } I've implemented a LazyUpdate method in the preference change observer, but it never gets called -- not when the checkbox is checked, and not when an Undo or Redo is done. I've verified that the observer's AutoAttach method is getting called, and that the ModelChange method inside the command's DoNotify method is being called. Has anyone gotten lazy notification on command undo/redo to work? If so, can you tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Don't post the same question repeatedly. I've removed the thread you started 4 days after this one with the identical same question.

Keybindings for undo/redo buttons.

I thought I knew how to do this, and I do seem to have this working fine for cut/copy/paste/select all keybindings CTRL X/C/V/A respectively.

So the way I posted in the second lump of code OK (3rd post) or did you mean something different? Why did you set the key bindings? Did I not state they would be created automatically? I think you need to reread my suggestion (and the tutorial).Because I don't get it, it says only Menu items can contain accelerators and buttons only get mnemonics. I'm not using menu items here, I only have a text pane and 2 buttons. So I set the actions for the InputMap in TextPane. For the buttons, I pretty much used the small bit of code using undoManager.
I tried to set KEYSTROKE constructor for the action and simply add them to the buttons that way, but this didn't seem to have any response.
Also I don't get how this could happen anyway if the TextPane has the focus.
Not like the example using MNEMONICS.
    Action leftAction = new LeftAction(); //LeftAction code is shown later
    button = new JButton(leftAction)
    menuItem = new JMenuItem(leftAction);
To create an Action object, you generally create a subclass of AbstractAction and then instantiate it. In your subclass, you must implement the actionPerformed method to react appropriately when the action event occurs. Here's an example of creating and instantiating an AbstractAction subclass:
    leftAction = new LeftAction("Go left", anIcon,
                 "This is the left button.",
                 new Integer(KeyEvent.VK_L));
    class LeftAction extends AbstractAction {
        public LeftAction(String text, ImageIcon icon,
                          String desc, Integer mnemonic) {
            super(text, icon);
            putValue(SHORT_DESCRIPTION, desc);
            putValue(MNEMONIC_KEY, mnemonic);
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            displayResult("Action for first button/menu item", e);
    }This is what I attempted. No errors... It just doesn't work.
public JPanel p()
    undoButton.addActionListener(new UndoAction(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_Z, Event.CTRL_MASK)));
    panel.add(undoButton);
    return panel;
private class UndoAction extends AbstractAction
     public UndoAction(KeyStroke keyStroke)
          putValue(ACCELERATOR_KEY, keyStroke);
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          try
               if (undoManager.canUndo())
                    undoManager.undo();
          catch (CannotRedoException cre)
               cre.printStackTrace();
          updateButtons();

Undo/redo generate 'Save Changes to filename' pop up after 3 or 4 clicks. Is there a way to turn this off?

Running into issue with undo/redo(ctrl-z,ctrl-y) generating 'Save Changes to filename' pop up after 3 or 4 clicks. Is there a way to turn this off?

Sounds like some strange shortcut key conflict.
The first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW. Be sure hidden files & folders are enabled in Windows Explorer.

Undo Redo Function

Hi all,
I want to implement Undo Redo functionality in my application.For example , I have a JFrame with a button in it. On clicking the button i am importing a image in to it,and performing some action like resizing the image and dragging it within the frame.What if i want to go back in the process.I have no idea about it.Please help me do that.
Thanks in advance
Ravisenan

This is far from being easy...
Basically, you have to put every action on a stack, where you can recall them. Each action must contain ALL Information that has been changed, before it was changed. So when you undo it, you copy back all necessary properties.
Based on the complexity and design of your program, this can be one hell of a problem. I wish you good luck.

UNDO/REDO notifies

Are there any way for Plugin to receive UNDO/REDO notifies?

Notifier names are:
"AI Command Notifier: After Undo"
"AI Command Notifier: After Redo"
"AI Command Notifier: Before Undo"
"AI Command Notifier: Before Redo"

Undo/Redo

Hi..
How to implement undo/redo functionality?
Actually I have a painting canvas in flash in AS3.0.
For it I need UNDO/REDO functionality as user draws.
Any Clue.
Thanks.

For something like painting you will need to store the mouse movements and such into an array, then you can use that array as your undo/redo stack. When you undo - you can stick that item onto the redo array... something like that. Shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Undo / Redo Feature in Swing

Hi all,
Iam working on swing project which uses Undo/Redo feature for drag and drop figure and delete,cut,copy,paste and all the feature which ever want to use, and iam using multiple internal frames so the feature Undo/Redo should be specific to perticular internal frame.
Is any buddy already done such a kind of thing then pls help me, or if it's possible then pls send the code also.

you would have to create an UndoableEditListener for each object, undo/redo shall be perfomed. The listener then is connected to an instance of UndoManager to do the actual handling: /** Listener for edits on a document. */
private UndoableEditListener undoHandler = new UndoHandler();
/** UndoManager that we add edits to. */
private UndoManager undo = new UndoManager();
/** inner class for handling undoable edit events */
public class UndoHandler implements UndoableEditListener {
 * Messaged when the Document has created an edit, the edit is
 * added to <code>undo</code>, an instance of UndoManager.
 public void undoableEditHappened(UndoableEditEvent e) {
 undo.addEdit(e.getEdit());
} This now can be registered with let's say a Document like thiseditor.getDocument().addUndoableEditListener(undoHandler); (editor is an instance of JEditorPane containing the document).
Once you have this, you only need actions to perform undo or redo by calling the respective method of your instance of UndoManager undo() and redo().
Hope that helps

Undo/Redo JTextPane for some events

Hi,
I have quite a concern. Right now I'm building an sort of an IDE for my university class. I have the coloring of the words and everything is going fine. However I want to add Undo/Redo operations for the JTextPane. Even though you can create the UndoManager to manage the undo and redo. It catches the coloring of the words that happens every 1 second.
My question is how do I tell the undomanager that I only want to accept text as event for undo and redo and that it doesn't capture coloring as an undoable event.
regards,
Victor Pereira

You can merge multiple undoable edits in one and join your text coloring events to real edits. See the link how to merge them.

Undo/Redo Actions for Your Music on Desktop

Right now you can only use the undo/redo actions for playlists.
Add the ability to undo/redo actions you make to "Your Music" in the desktop app.
Menu bar:
Edit --> Undo
Edit --> Redo
Maybe you accidentally removed a song from Your Music and you want to undo it.

oh cool, this is over six months old and it still hasn't been addressed.

Undo/Redo for Cut, Copy, Paste

I am trying to implement Undo/Redo for Cut,Copy,Paste in a Treetable.
I have to support undo/redo for multiple nodes being cut/copied. I am not sure how I should be going about implementing this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If the class you are using doesn't support cut, copy, and paste already, usually what you do is store a list of actions in two lists. One for actions done, the other for redos (when there is an undo). Capture the data before and after each operation (you can create a KeyListener to listen for the events) and store that in a list. When undo is called, the last element on the list should be undone, either by taking it out of the list and reiterating through the elements still there, or implementing an undo method in the object you are trying to change. Then put that element on the redo list in case that is called. This works well with graphics and stuff, but I never tried to implement it in a tree with nodes and stuff, so that's about the most I can help with right now. I hope it helps some!
