Bold text in a JTextArea

Can I make a certian word that appear in a JTextArea to be bold?
Thanks..!

No. Use a JTextPane. Read this section from the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/text.html]Using Text Components.

How can i turn a part of a text of a JTextArea into bold??

how can i turn a part of a text of a JTextArea into bold?? I mean i just want the selected text to do so and not all of the content of the JTextArea.
Is there a way to do so??
If not, is there another component that i can use to do so??

Use a JTextPane. Here's an example to get you started:

How do I change the colour of text in a JTextArea?

I was wondering if there is a method I could use to change certain parts of the text in a JTextArea to a different color, eg if you wished to highlight HTML tags in the source code, so they stand out from the rest of the text.

Try this...
// create text area
JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
// change text color to blue
textArea.setForeground(Color.blue);
// change background color to black
textArea.setBackground(Color.black);

Getting the text from a JTextArea...

hi, I'm making a perfect calculator program and I'm trying to add a Note Pad function to it, I also want to hide that so the other interface can be used; I can get it hided and come again but I'm wondering how could I get the text from the JTextArea INCLUSIVE the enters that are made withing it, so:
theString = jTextArea1.getText();only gives me the text and no enters; suggestions?

I think I displayed it wrongTwo things to keep in mind...
Certain Swing components will just ignore newlines, so you have to be careful where/how you're displaying your multiline text strings. Some components will display it all as one line, some will only display the top line, some will even show \n instead of doing the newline. It all just depends.
And JTextArea does support word wrapping, so just because it looks like there's a newline, there may not be one.

Only bold text physically prints from a printer from a PDF created in Pro 11.0.2

Hi.
I have created a PDF of a Microsoft Excel spread sheet in Adobe Pro 11.0.2 but some of the text does not print.
Have tried two different printers but get the same results.
There seems to be a pattern in what does and does not print, but it does not make sense as only the bold text seems to print.
It is written with standard Calibri font in Office Pro Plus 2010 on Win7ProSP1.
It looks fine on the screen as all text is visible after creating the PDF
Any comments appreciated...
Tony Gray

Try printing as a graphic. It may be that the fonts are not downloading to the printer -- a typical issue with HP printers for some reason.

How to get the bold texts in JTextPane?

How to get the bold texts in JTextPane?

I believe you need to look at the Elements of the Document. Use the Document.getDefaultRootElement() method to get the first root Element. From there you can iterate through all the Elements. You should then be able to check the attributes of the element to see if it contains the Bold attribute using something like:
AttributeSet attributes = element.getAttributes();
if ( attributes.containsAttribute(StyleConstants.Bold, Boolean.TRUE)
// do processing here

Selective BOLD text in table

Hi guys,
I have report on Service Request Active reporting subject area. Standard table view with one additional column with custom text displayed using CASE...WHEN logic. This works perfectly fine.
What I need is to display the values being pulled to be displayed in BOLD (not the whole field just selective text). for this under column properties in Data Format tab i selected HTML and tried using <bold>text/column formula</bold> or <b'>text/column formula</b"'> or ['b]text[b'] (added a couple of ' here in the post to remove the forum's formatting) but nothing seems to work out. Can someone point out where to place the bold tags and the format so that i can get this working
*sample logic statement*
CASE
WHEN "- Service Request Custom Attributes".PICK_16 = 'Tier 3 Integration'
THEN 'Issue 1 = ' || "- Service Request Custom Attributes".PICK_16 || ',<br> ' || 'Issue Owner = '|| IFNULL ("- Service Request Custom Attributes".PICK_20, 'NO OWNER ASSIGNED')
WHEN "- Service Request Custom Attributes".PICK_17 =
ELSE 'NULL'
END
thanks

How would I use conditional formatting?
Let's say I've given the field a custom heading of Issue - Owner (combination of values from 2 separate fields based on certain CASE logic). I go to the Properties>Conditional Format tab> I click on Add Condition and it shows the list of columns. I select Issue - Owner. It throws up the combined values as possible answers which would be incorrect.
The 2 columns used to combine this are not used in the report, so i cannot use that to filter and if i do add those columns then also i do not get the correct filter settings.
I have a complete sentece displayed in that column - part of it is static text that i have entered and part of it is the column formula which displays various picklist values based on the logic.
I need some words of the static text and some of the formula highlighted.
for e.g. this is displayed in the column
The Issue 1 is Integration and Issue Owner is John Doe
Issue 1 is static text while John Doe is value returned based on CASE logic
I need 2 separate types of data displaed in bold

Bold text in toc won't display

I've formatted my toc to display titles as bold text but for some reason it will not display all titles as bold text. By the way, it's russian and all lower headings in the screenshot should be bold. I know I have displayed a screenshot for a LOF but it goes for both TOC and LOF. I am aware of the difference in layout methods.
reference page
body page

Hi Peter
The formatting in LOF is applied by selecting the text on the body page and formatting the paragraph tag for the text to be bold. In the TOC it is formatted by doing the same on the reference page.
I haven't produced any form of output yet so I do not know how it is displayed. The program crashes when i want to update the book so I need to look into that first.
I will try your suggestions.
Thanks

Hi, Pieter:
You might not think that the different steps you're using to format the generated entries would cause the difference, FrameMaker can have good reason for working differently.
Is there a reason for not formatting the prototype line in the LOF on the reference page, rather than on the body page - the same method you use for the TOC?
When working with FrameMaker's generated files, you need to be keenly aware of which file you're working with. I don't have FrameMaker available at the moment, but I believe it works something like this (it may have changed from older FrameMaker versions to newer ones:)
* When you create a new generated file FrameMaker creates the generated file's reference page and the corresponding reference page text flow; they are named for the kind of generated file, such as TOC, LOF, etc.
* I think the location of the reference page and its flow depend on whether you're generating from a stand-alone file, or from a file that belongs to a book. The reference page and flow may be created in the generated file, or in the source file, but not in both.
* In later FrameMaker versions, I believe the book file is more involved with the processing than in earlier versions. In the more-recent versions, I believe that the output of generated files is taken from the generated-file reference pages and flows in the first file in the book list.
* If there is a generated reference page and its flow in the source file, and also in the generated file, there's a possible precedence conflict over which settings control the output of the generated file. Formatting properties set in the higher-precedence file will be applied, and those in the lower-precedence file will be ignored.
Because the TOC is working correctly, follow the same procedure for the LOF. Verify that there reference page and flow are in the same file that works for the TOC - if the TOC reference page is in the TOC itself, then verify that the LOF reference page is in the LOF file, and verify that there's no LOF reference page in any of the source files in your book. If the TOC reference page is in the first file in the book and not in the TOC, then create the LOF the same way.

How do you search bold text in Adobe Reader XI for Windows?

We create documents electronically that contain bold text for a client. No matter what we try in Adobe Reader XI for Windows, bold text is not found. Is it not searchable? Is there a setting that we are overlooking to enable it? So far, only NitroPDF is the only program I can find that works.

I just created a small test PDF (test_bold.pdf) with some bold words in it. Reader XI (11.0.09) has no trouble finding these words.
You can download the test doc from https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/333accd7-f54b-40f4-b06f-f14a3608f120
Search for the word lazy that has been boldened multiple times in the doc.

CR duplication when Copy/Pasting text from a JTextArea

I have a typical scenario of having text in a JTextArea. When I select some of that text and try to paste it either to an external text editor or even in the same JTextArea, I am getting extra line spaces in the screen.
For example, if I have the following text:
<a id=1>
<b/>
</a>When I copy paste it, I get:
<a id=1>
<b/>
</a>When I looked to see what characters were being used for the CR, I see "\r\n". This is the standard line.seperator for Windows OS which is fine. When I save this text to a file using the Java I/O libraries, it is fine (no extra lines). But when copy/pasting it prints extra lines.
Has anyone had similar problems?

Has anyone had similar problems? No. How are you doing the copy/paste? Did you write your own routines or are you using the default Actions. By default, when a Document is loaded it will convert the "\r\n" end of line string to "\n" and store the single character in the Document. When you use the getText(..) method the enod of line string will be expanded to "\r\n" on a Windows system, but this should not happen in a copy/paste operation. How do you add data to your text area?
This section from the Swing tutorial on "Text Component Features" has a working example of using copy/paste:

How can I assign a text file to JTextArea component??

Hi every body, does any boody has a code for read a text file and show this text in a JTextArea??? I'm trying with a FileReader but the text doesn't appear well.
Thanks in advance.

How can I center text in a JTextArea?

I'm coding my own little font selection frame, and want to display the sample text in a JTextArea, and want to know how I can get the text centered in the field. Does anyone know how this can be done? Thanks.

Thanks Camrick, I'm disappointed that it will take so much to accomplish this. But I'm very appreciative of your response, and I will definitely put that code to use. Just not in time to turn in my assignment, lol. But thats ok, this function was beyond the requirements anyway, I just wanted to put in some bells and whistles.
Cheers!

Css Bold Text

I would like to apply a css class to make some text bold
within a paragraph.
I have created the class in my .css file and linked it to my
html file, however when i apply it using a <div class> tag
within the HTML file it puts the bold text on a new line.
Is there a way of using css to apply text attributes such as
bold text without putting it on a new line.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Gavin

Just put the text inside a <strong></strong> tag,
as below and make sure
you have a closing </p> tag in your code. You don't in
your example at
the moment.
<p>This is a test bit of text to see if the style sheet
works!<strong>This text should be bold and on the same
line</strong></p>
Alternatively you can use a <span> tag as suggested by
Joe but I see no
point as you have already declared the css for the p tag,
which is the
same for the bold text.
If say you want to alter the colour/size of the bold text
then use a
span tag
<p>This is a test bit of text to see if the style sheet
works!<span
class="colorSizeChange">This text should be bold and on
the same
line</span></p>
.colorSizeChange {
color: red;
font-size: 1em

Format bold text in field and putting some text on new line - Help!

I am lost. I found the rich text formating item to click. But after that, I don't know what to do next. I want to bold some characters and I want some reponses on separate lines as I asked previously. As to spans and the commands - I have no programming experience. I have just been using what George has given me. It has worked well, but I just need the bold text in some of the field text to be printed and I need some items to be on separate lines. But I have no idea where to put the information you are saying about spans and I do not know the script to use to bold text or to start text on new line. Am I to insert it in the calculation box of the text box? Sorry to be so lame, but I am void in programming skills. Help!
For example, here is the script. In aISOreq{0], if I want to bold "Patter#1 Check:", where do I put the span and what script do I use to say to bold it.   Could you give me an example, please. Also, if I want to put "a. Medications on weekend?" on one line and "b. Activities on weekends? Types of activities? Supervision? With who?" on the next line, where do I put the span and what script do I use to say to put on separate lines? Could you give me an example for this also, please. I have literally just used the scripts George has given me and they work great - but that is all I know how to do. Thanks.

    var item = getField("ISO Frequency Pattern").value;

Look at the reference of the richValue property of the Field object. It contains a couple of examples of how it should be done. Also read the reference of the Span object.
