How to get the caret position of component embedded in JTextPane?

Hi great java developers ;-)
I want to get the caret position of component which is embedded in StyledDocument / JTextPane.
How has it to be done?
Thank you very much!!!

The Document doesn't know which textPane it belongs to. (It could even be shared by mulitple textPanes).
You get the caret position of a any text component by using:
textComponent.getCaretPosition();

How to get the caret inside a custom editor?

I was reading through old posts the other day and noticed this by Rob Camick in this thread Re: Problem in cell selection in JTable Java Swing :
camickr wrote:
All KeyEvents are passed to the editor for the cell and the editor is psuedo invoked. That is, the caret is not placed on the text field used as the editor, but the character typed is added to the editor.This set me thinking about a known issue in my app which I had shelved for a "rainy day": how to get the caret into the cell editor component. I thought I'd get it out and look at it. I tried the following, in my custom cell editor:
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,
                                             int row, int column)
    JTextField ec = (JTextField) editorComponent;
    ec.setText((String) value);
    if ("".equals(ec.getText()))
      ec.setCaretPosition(0);
    else
      ec.selectAll();
    return editorComponent;
}But it has no effect whatsoever, the user still can't type something in and then press the backspace key to useful effect. Has anyone out there solved this problem? (And why, oh why, is the caret not put into the cell editor by default, if it's a component that has a caret?)

Replying to my own post, in case what I ended up with is of some help to others. The desired behaviour was that anything the cell contained from the previous edit would be replaced by what the user types in the current edit, i.e.:
user starts edit, types 234, stops editing, cell displays 234...user single-clicks on cell, types 567, stops editing, cell displays 567
My code is as follows:
    public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
                                                 boolean isSelected, int row,
                                                 int column)
      final JTextField ec = (JTextField) editorComponent;
      ec.setText((String) value);
      // selectAll, so that whatever the user types replaces what we just put there
      ec.selectAll();
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
        public void run()
          // make the component take the keyboard focus, so the backspace key works
          ec.requestFocus();
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
            public void run()
              // at this point the user has typed something into the cell and we
              // want the caret to be AFTER that character, so that the next one
              // comes in on the RHS
              ec.setCaretPosition(ec.getText().length());
      return editorComponent;
    }

How to get the Useru2019s position when the user doesnu2019t have CP relation

We have a custom program which will add / delete attributes (In transaction PPOSA_BBP). It is working fine for users which were assigned with CP relation But it fails for users which doesnu2019t have CP relation (since we are getting the position of users form HRP1001 then we are retrieving the existing attributes based on the position after that updating the attributes) as we are getting the position from HRP1001 it fails for users were no CP relation.
Help us how to get the Useru2019s position when the user doesnu2019t have CP relation. Suggest us any function module or how to query the HRP1001 or some other table if exists

Paul

Hi Paul,
Have a look at these tables.
Using table BUT000 the central business partner data are stored, f.e. partner type, partner names, partner number, partner guid, person number, etc. In table BUTBKK the bank data to a business partner are stored.
Central business partner address data
The table ADRC is used for the address of a business partner. Table BUT020 links the business partner number with the address number. Using table BUT021 several addresses to a business partner with different usages (modes), f.e. correspondence or delivery address, can be stored. The personal data of a business partner person are stored with key person number in table ADRP. The person number is assignd to a business partner person in table BUT000. Communication data of business partners as e-mail, telephone, fax, etc. are stored in the tables ADDR1 u2013 ADDR12. The business address of a contact person or an employee consists of the organization address (company resp. org.-unit) and of an address addition, which describes f.e. a building, a room number, etc. The address addition is stored in table ADCP and is identified by the keys address number of the organization address and person number.
Relationships between business partners
Table BUT050 contains the relationships between a business partner organization and a business partner person using relation types. The relation types are defined in table TBZ9, f.e. the relation type u2018has employeeu2019 corresponds to identifier u2018BUR010u2019, the relation type u2018has contact personu2019 corresponds to identifier u2018BUR001u2019. Table BUT051 stores communication data of a contact person relationship (compare to table ADCP). Table BUT052 stores several address numbers to one business partner relationship (including a standard flag).
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew

How to get the parent of a component in fx?

Here is an example:
Index.fx:

function showHello(){
   // add a label in index.fx whose text is "welcome!";

In Flex, we use parent or parentApplication, Is there a similar function in JavaFX?

Reusing the same Tile example, I had no problems, I suppose I was doing wrong the first time:

var scene: Scene;
var previews: Container;

    height: 500
    fill: Color.LAVENDER
    content:
      previews = Tile
        hgap: 10
        vgap: 10
        layoutX: bind (scene.width - previews.width) / 2
        layoutY: bind (scene.height - previews.height) / 2
        columns: COLUMN_NB
        content: for (i in [ 1 .. COLUMN_NB * ROW_NB ])

            image: Image
              url: "{__DIR__}clock.gif"
              width: IMAGES_WIDTH
              preserveRatio: true
            onMousePressed: Hide
function Hide(evt: MouseEvent): Void
println("{evt.node} ({evt.node.id}) - {evt.node.parent}");
var nm: Node = evt.node.parent.lookup("IV5"); // Middle node
nm.visible = false;
var ntl: Node = evt.node.parent.lookup("IV1"); //Top left node
(ntl as ImageView).viewport = Rectangle2D { height: IMAGES_WIDTH/2, width: IMAGES_WIDTH/2 };
(evt.node.parent as Tile).hgap = 20; // Strange effect, but works

How to get the value from textInput Component to perform calculation?

I need some help here...I'm trying to get the value of user input from the TextInput Component which is the age, height and weight to calculate the bmr and display the result in member("result").text.
How am i suppose to let the integer pass through in order for me to perform calculation? Would appreciate if anyone can help me out with this, thanks!
Below are the formula :
The Harris Benedict equation estimates BMR:
For women: (9.56 x w) + (1.85 x h) – (4.68 x a) + 655
For men: (13.75 x w) + (5 x h) – (6.76 x a) + 66

Assumed that this section is only for male ...it still show error saying script error : String expected for
on mouseDown
member("result").text = (13.75 * value(member("weightText").text)) + (5 * value(member("heightText").text)) - (6.76 * value(member("ageText").text)) + 66
end
Do i have to add in "put sprite(x).text -- where x is the number of the sprite that is the text input." ?

How to get the current caret position of a field

I would like to mimic a feature known from some UI parts in Eclipse (especially launch configurations) - inserting a predefined variable. It allows to modify the value of a text field by inserting a special value to the position of the caret.
I'm struggling with how to get the caret position in Sapphire since the model does not propagate such UI-specific info. Is there a way how to implement this which does not involve creating a special field implementation?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delay in responding. Currently, there is no API available to implement what you are describing. We should add a TextSelectionService similar to the existing ListSelectionService.

How to get the tag name of HTMLDocument?

I am now using JEditorPane to display and edit a html file.
My code is like this:
kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
doc = (HTMLDocument) (kit.createDefaultDocument());
editor.setEditorKit(kit);
editor.setDocument(doc);
editor.setContentType("text/html; charset=utf-8");
editor.getDocument();
[editor is the class JEditorPane, doc is HTMLDocument, kit is HTMLEditorKit]
When a user clicks on the pane, it's easy to me to get the caret position. However, how can I get the tag?
For example,
I am a boy. Hello! 
On the pane, the position between "I am a boy" is clicked, I want to get the name of the tag - "font". Moreover, how can I get the class - "book" also?
Moreover, can I get the tag also?
Many Thanks!
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
is it possible to get the EditorKit from the EditorPane and then get the ViewFactory for the editor kit.
Since u have the some tags of the elements hardcoded in the HTMLEditorKit.HTMLFactory it will be handy i guess.
Let me know whether it helped or not so that either same method be approached or some other has to be tried.
Cheers,
Nagaraj

How to listen and obtain caret positions of changed text in JTextPane?

Hi,
I have a JTextPane that displays text with some styles on particular words in the text. For example, I highlight words with red color if they are in my dictionary file. I use regular expression to find matches, replace them with their corresponded definitions, and call setCharacterAttributes to add styles to the definitions. I store all start and end caret positions of the matched words/definitions in a vector. So, I can redisplay styles of all previous matches.
The problem is that I'd like to be able to edit the text of some previous matches. So, with those changes all caret positions that I already store in the vector need to be updated.
How can I obtain caret positions of changed text in JTextPane?
How can I know that a user is currently changing text in the JTextPane?
How can I get style of text such as color that is being changed?
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, camickr, for your reply.
I think that I might not know the right way to handle JTextPane and Document object.
What I have done are:
- Add style to JTextPane using, for example,
Style targetCurrentMatchStyle = this.targetWindowTextPane.addStyle("Red", null);
StyleConstants.setForeground(targetCurrentMatchStyle, Color.red);//For highlight - Then, I use regular expression (Pattern and Matcher) to find a match in text. For each match, I get start and end position from matcher.start() and matcher.end().
if(matcher.find(start)){
String term=matcher.group();
int start=matcher.start();
int end = matcher.end();
//find definition for the matched term.
String definition=mydictionaryHash.get(term);
//Store caret positions in lists
startPositionList.add(start);
matchedLength=lengthList.add(definition.length());
//Add changed to text in textpane
StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer();
matcher.appendReplacement(sb, definition);
matcher.appendTail(sb);
//Get translated text from StringBuffer after replacement
String translatedText=sb.toString();
targetWindoTextPane.setText(translatedText);
//Update start position for next search
start=start+definition.length();
//Add style to matched regions below.
}- From the lists of start positions and matched lengths, I use the following code to add "Red" color to the matched text regions including all previously matched.
for(int i=0;i<startPositionList.size();i++){
this.targetWindowTextPane.getStyledDocument().setCharacterAttributes(
startPositionList.get(i),
lengthList.get(i),
this.targetWindowTextPane.getStyle("Red"),
true);
}My issue is that I'd like to be able edit previously matched regions and update all positions of the matched regions stored in the lists.
