How to exclude accent characters in Text components

How can I exclude accent characters in Text components. I
just want the keystroke do nothing for accent characters.

I assume you mean TextInput.
Easiest way? You may want to do something like this, it
restricts input to only the provided characters, so you'd have to
add any others that you DO want:
restrict="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
Harder way? Extend TextInput (but it only stops `):

Limit the number of characters in Text Components

I'm trying to limit the number of characters in text components. So I use the follow KeyListener:
private class KeyHandler extends KeyAdapter{
String oldText;
private KeyHandler(){ }
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent ev){
String newText = textField.getText();
System.out.println("Old text: " + this.oldText); //debug
System.out.println("New text: " + newText); //debug
if(newText.length() < limit){
this.oldText = newText + ev.getKeyChar();
}else{
textField.setText(this.oldText);
if(textField.getCaretPosition() + 1 > limit)
textField.setCaretPosition(limit - 1);
But the problem is that after that, the last key is typed in the component and the last key always appear.
�Does anyone know the way for consume the key presses?
Thank you

(Belongs in the Swing forum.)
The callback method keyTyped comes after keyPressed and keyReleased.
The event.consume() should consume the event.
Consider cut/copy/paste.
Maybe a addPropertyChangeListener would be better?

How to preserve encoded characters at text and attributes node?

<greeting>hello, <World> </greeting>
When I run a SAX parser, it automatically decodes the characters
and make the document ill-formed after the round trip.
<greeting>hello, <world> </greeting> --- ERROR
Q: How do I preserve those special characters at text node and attribute nodes?
Thanks

Thanks for you guys' help.
It's great to get a real-time help from this online community.
Yue,
What I attempted to do was
0. I have 6G <database> document having 1.4 M <entry>s.
1. Read one <entry> at a time using SAX
2. Save each <entry> to a buffer
3. Pass the buffer to a Unmarshaller ( JAXB ) and create a JavaObject
Repeat above moving to next <entry> until reaches to the end.
At step 1, unescape happens
becomes >< becomes <
and & &
making my doc malformed (which is legal) :(
At step 2, I did the following to perserve <, >, and &
str = str.replaceAll( ">", ">");
str = str.replaceAll( "<", "<");
str = str.replaceAll( "&", "&");At step 3, JAXB is now happy to get a healthy XML input
<greeting>hello, <World></greeting>
It turned out to be nobody's fault but myself.
It was a good lesson, though.
Thanks, buddies

How to type accented characters?

Somehow I discovered if I type Option-e,e I get e with +accent ague+ (thought not in this text box obviously).
*Where is the list of the rest of them?*
I don't want to use the Character Palette if I can help it since it's pretty tedious when I type a lot of them. I'd just as soon learn the keyboard shortcuts (as I have done with Windows US-International keyboard).
Thanks for any insight.
Eric

option+e followed by a letter puts an accent over that letter as you've discovered.
like this: á é ó
to see the other ones go to system preferences->international->input menu and check the box to show keyboard viewer in input menu. now activate keyboard viewer from the input menu and press option. you'll see where other accents are. they will be highlighted orange.
alternatively, in the same input menu in system preferences check the box to show a language that you are interested in that has those accented characters. then choose that language from the input menu in the menu bar and type using that language layout. the keyboard viewer will again tell you where which letters are.

Using accented characters in text

I'm trying to create a document using text for the Czech republic.
I only need "dead" text to be in the Czech language, so am using text objects. Every time I try to paste the Czech words in (via notepad to clear any background Java), LiveCycle crashes with a C++ runtime error.
Any help or advice appreciated...!

The text looks the same in Notepad and Textpad. However, I manually added the "encoding" tag with the value of "ISO-8859-1", and the converter no longer complains about invalid characters.
I added the encoding tag to my application's output file, so the converter should not complain about it on the next run. Unfortunately, the names have been fixed in Active Directory ( the special character was there by mistake ), so I cannot do a live test to be sure that it is fix.
Thanks for the help, Duke points incoming!

Accented characters in tagged text

I normally write copy in a text editor (TextPad), paste into InDesign, and format in the Story Editor. Now I want to format in TextPad and import tagged text. But I am finding that accented characters from the numeric keypad as well as other more frequently used characters - €, £ - are being misinterpreted. For instance R$8·25 million (about €3 million) comes in as R$8Â·25 million (about â‚¬3 million) and Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo is rendered as FundaÃ§Ã£o de Amparo Ã Pesquisa do Estado de SÃ£o Paulo.
I have the options to format the text file as ANSI or DOS, and I have used the headers <ASCII-WIN> and <ANSI-WIN>, but there seems to be no combination that brings the text in cleanly.
Substituting Unicode values for these characters gives me what I want and I can build a library of them to add in TextPad, but this is counter to my aim of more productivity.
Can anyone give me a the formatting options to enable me to use the numeric keypad to generate the extended character set in a form that will import as tagged text?
k

Yes, sorry, it had to be somewhere from InDesign to InDesign. What I actually meant was that your tagged text started life in InDesign. My tagged text is starting life in TextPad.
TextPad can save text in DOS (I guess that means ASCII), ANSI and UTF-8. It's possible that the text in the file I was importing wasn't actually in ANSI. I've restructured it now and it is importing accented characters correctly except, bizarrely, for the Euro symbol (yes, there is a € in the font - Myriad Pro). If I use Alt0128 to create the symbol - or the keyboard AltGr4 - import stops at the last complete line before the € would be encountered, and nothing more is imported. If I use <0x20AC> the symbol imports properly and the whole file is placed.
I also worked with two identical (except for the substitution of some Unicode characters) versions of the same file. Both were ANSI, and both were headed with <ANSI-WIN> and no other definition information. One file picked up the definitions from the InDesign decument and rendered correctly, the other ignored all the paragraph styles and simply imported text at the default paragraph style.
So please accept some points for your collection Ken for leading me to re-check the actual code set in the document.
If you have any ideas about the € problem or why one version of the file would not pick up style definitions I would be intrigued to hear.
k
As an afterthought, I've attached a chunk of each file to show one that picks up definitions and one that doesn't. My initial thought was that the one that does pick up definitions would bleat about them being missing, while the other wouldn't. But if I place them in a blank file, both complain that the definitions are missing. However, If I make an appropriately named definition to match one in the file, the version that picks up definitions will match it and only bleat about the other missing definitions. The file that isn't picking up definitions will fail to honour the paragraph style, and will complain that the remainder are missing.

CS5 AI. How to add accented text character in windows

I am trying to get the accented (acute/forward) characters for a, e, i, o, u. (and their capital versions) in illustrator CS5 (Windows 7). I do not want to use the Glyphs - impractical. Neither do I want to use the windows character box or Alt xxxx codes.
Accented characters are part of normal text - for all but English speakers
All my other programs (MS OFfice, CAD etc) allow me to use AltGr key + letter (AltGr = right alt = Ctrl+Alt). This is also the case for Photoshop CS5 but not Illustrator.
In windows control panel I have changed languages (e.g. English, Spanish) and keyboards (e.g. US-international). No difference. As soon as I press AltGr key, I move into Group Selection mode. I have deleted all Illustrator shortcuts that include Ctrl + Alt - still no use.
I have tried previous suggestions in this and similar forums
Is there any simple way to resolve this. I have put up with this since CS1 but I thought it was fixed. Now it seems not - AI is to remain English speaking only (?)

My normal setup is English UK language with English UK keyboard.
I am not sure I understand your comment "Accents on a tertiary modifier such as AltGr is rather unusual..." and I am not clear about primary keys and secondary modifiers but from my experience...
AltGr (or Ctrl + Alt) + vowel will give accented (forward) vowel in any package that I use - for example Microsoft Word, Excel, OneNote, Firefox, Paint Shop Pro, TurboCad etc - and many more. It is a standard in windows and has been for years. Even Photoshop follows it. But not Illustrator.
In trying to get it to work in Illustrator I have tried every reasonable combination of keyboards (e.g. US-international, Spanish) and languages (e.g. French, Spanish etc) as well as English
I'd happily work with any two-key / three - key shortcut I could set up in Illustrator.

How do I type characters with tilde accent marks, specifically an "n"?

For example, press Option+N and should see the tilde accent, then press the letter such as n

Pages breaks words using "Justify text" on certain accented characters

I'm working on a document in Hungarian, and it seems that when I use the "justified text" setting, this puts extra white space around certain accented characters.
Please see these screenshots:
http://www.kkovacs.hu/~kkovacs/Pages-bug-with-accented-words.jpg
In this case, "időszak" should be a single word, and it is, when I write it as "Idõszak" (using õ instead of ő, but this is not the character that is needed there). The problem seems independent of the font that I use (Big Caslon, in the example above).
Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks in advance,
Kristóf

Hello
My old eyes fooled me.
I saw a "lowercase o with a tilde" when it was a "lowercase o with double acute"
With your font which is a bit more recent than mine, the missing glyph is grabbed from an other font (I didn't search which one it is).
I didn't got what was in your original screenshot.
I just get a character with a fully different drawing.
It's funny because it's the kind of problem RC-R and me where exchanging about in:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1644259&tstart=0
Given what I get, I will not call that a bug but a feature that many users (most of them ?) are unaware of.
The operating system does its best to display the character we are asking for even if it is not built in the used font.
This trickery has PROs and CONs.
For your use, I'm afraid that CONs are the most important and that you will have to search for a font embedding the needed characters.
To scan the contents of a font, I uses the free Linotype FontExplorer which displays the defined glyphs in black and the missing ones in red so, it's easy to see if a font fit our needs.

How can I disable the accented characters from popping up on the iPad?

Hello all,
I work with clients who are unable to talk due to various developmental delays. We use the Proloquo2go app which uses the regular iPad keyboard for communication. Is there a way to disable the accented characters from popping up when typing on the keyboard? This is very distracting for some of our clients. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Nikki

I don't use an external keyboard but I wonder if you would have any different functionality with one. I'm sorry that I cannot recommend anything but have you thought about that approach?

How to load CSV with accented characters?

Hi,
I have a database instance with NLS_CHARACTERSET = 'AL32UTF'. I upload a csv file with APEX into WW_FLOW_FILES table and then parse it with dbms_lob.instr. The problem that I am facing is that if I save the CSV file in UTF8, then this works fine, if I save it in any other encoding then it's displaying 'funny' characters when I try to parse it and display the parsing result and the source data contains some accented characters, like, á, é, ő etc,
I am not sure if this is an APEX issue or I rather be turning to NLS forum. TIA.

How do I stop Indesign from changing letters to accented characters

When working in Indesign letters are randomly changed to accented characters. The only way to remove them once this happened is to save the job, close it and then reopen it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Willi
Thank you for your repsonse and sorry I did not get back to you sooner.
See the screenshots below
Note the tilde on top of the N
In the following images, fi turns into fl and retail turns into RetaiO(cap O with a tilde accent).
Let me know if you need more information.

Arabic numerals not displaying in Swing text components

On a test system setup with Windows NT Arabic version, we had problems entering Arabic numerics into Swing text components.
Other Arabic characters were displayed correctly, but numerals were all represented by Western characters ('0 to 9'). Even when using the "Alt-" method to enter the Unicode character codes via. the keypad, we still got incorrect characters.
When using the keypad to enter the code '\u0660' (Arabic "1"), the code sent to the text component was '\u2022' (Bullet).
We tried this on an English system and the same code was passed to the text component.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be the cause of this problem ?
Thanks,
Brian...
