How to highlight keywords?

Hello,
I have some scripts for view creation stored in files with extension .vw. When I open this view in SQL Developer, keywords are not highlighted probably because SQL Developer doesn't recognize this extension.
Is there any way how to force SQL Developer to highlight the keywords even for filetypes with unknown extension?
Thanks for help, Dan

Hello Jeff,
I finally managed to test this more...
Currently I am using W7 64bit.
1) Open new instance of SQL Developer, go to Tools -> Preferences -> File Types (as Jim mentioned)
What is the purpose of this window? Is it necessary to add the extension of file where I want to highlight the syntax? We are using different extension for different DB objects. So e.g. insert scripts have extension .dat. So lets say, I didn't add the .dat extension into the SQL Developer File Types preferences window and now open some .dat file with insert statements. Should it highlight the syntax or not?
2) Lets say, I want to add the .vw extension. I click the "Add..." button, enter "vw", click OK. New extension is created, File Type is set to "Text Document" and the "Open with SQL Developer" option is checked in the checkbox and in the grid as well...
3) Now I change the File Type to "PL/SQL". The option "Open with SQL Developer" is now unchecked in the checkbox, but still checked in the grid. So I believe you are wrongly actualizing the checkbox or the grid... Confirm the preferences. Then return to the preferences again and uncheck the "Open with SQL Developer" option. Find some file with extension .vw and press Enter. You will get an error message. Notice this message is different from that you get when you try to open file with completly unknown extension (e.g. .xyz). So I also think SQL Developer modified Win registry not fully correctly...
4) Go back to that Preference window and now check the "Open with SQL Developer" option. Confirm. Find some .vw file and press Enter. You will get the "File pathname has changed, reload?" message.
What this means? No matter what you choose, the file is not opened.
5) Now when I open the veiw simply from File -> Open, it is opened as a Worksheet and syntax is highlighted. This is strange because yesterday this was not working. I believe it's because I am playing with this extension so long, so even Developer recognized it ;)
6) To reproduce it, simply choose another extension and check if the syntax is highlighted or not. Now I tested the .dat extension. It is added in the File Types list, File Type is set to SQL Script but the file is still being opened as "Source" so nothing gets highlighted.

How to change keyword in many pictures at the same time?

I gave a big series of pictures the wrong keywords. Now, I can't figure out how to change them (besides one by one...).
If I select e.g. 10 pictures in Library-mode, how to change keywords on them all at the same time?

Make sure you are in Grid View, primary monitor (if you have two), select 10 pictures and type (or delete) the keywords in the Keywording panel in the left upper corner.
Make sure the Metadata->Show Metadata for Target Photo Only is unchecked in the menus. Otherwise your edits will only apply to the primary selected (most selected) image.

How to highlight the messages in the WDA?

hi experts,
Iam new to Webdynpro.i just want to know how to highlight the texts displayed . like BOLD,italic etc and also colors.
Regards,
murthy.

I dont think you have it via standard message area. Probably you can have a TextView UI element and use the properties Design and semanticColor to achieve this. If you have a contextNode , thats mapped to the texview and message manager writing text to this node. Solution should work.

Any ideas on what would cause this NOT to work? I added this row right after the table is created and populated and it is still not highlighted when I enter the form. The snippet of code that does this is:
MyTableModel modelS = (MyTableModel)dataModel.get("S");
jTable1 = new JTable(modelS);
jTable1.setRowSelectionInterval(0,0);MyTableModel is this:
class MyTableModel extends DefaultTableModel {
public MyTableModel(Object[] columnNames, int numRows) {
    super(columnNames, numRows);
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
    if (TableKey == 'S') {
      if (column == 6) {
        return false;
    if (TableKey == 'O') {
      if (column == 0 || column == 4 || column == 5) {
        return false;
    if (TableKey == 'P') {
      return false;
return true;
}Can anyone help? Thanks.

How to highlight text in JTextField?

Hi all, I know this is a very simple question but I just couldn't find its solution and I'm rushing for my project.
My question is: how to highlight all the text in JTextField when it gets focus?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Janet

You have to add a FocusListener in the JTextField and override the focusGained() method to select all the text with JTextField.selectAll().
class MyFrame {
JTextField text = new JTextField();
// when creating the frame
text.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
    public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
      doSelectAllText();
void doSelectAllText() {
    text.selectAll();
}Hope this help.

How to highlight text in the iCloud web app

Hi,
My computer recently broke so I had to use my mom's windows computer to do my homework. I had to use the iCloud web app Pages to do my homework. My assignment requires to be able to highlight stuff so does anyone know how to highlight text in the iCloud web apps?

You can do this easily by using a "modify class" parameter in your web template.
Following methods are of your interest to change char/KF headers.
CAPTION_CELL changes formats/values of characteristic headers
STRUCTURE_CELL changes formats/values of key figure headers
Hope it helps.

Hi Jerome,
I figured out that a change has to be done to load in the configuration, specifically in the Prepare View Stream component.
Have you reviewed my comment on this post?

How to highlight the repeated records in a BO crystal report?

Hi ,
How to highlight the repeated records in a BO crystal report?
we want to highlight the rows for which account number is same.
thanks
sriram

You don't even need to create a group. Just sort the records on the fields that define "duplicate". Then you can just use
if {field} = PreviousValue({field}) then crYellow else crNoColor
in the format's Background Color formula. This will cause the background to be yellow on duplicates. (If you need to check more than one field in order to determine duplicates, just insert
and {field2} = PreviousValue({field2}
and so on for each field that needs to be checked.
HTH,
Carl

Q: how to highlight PDF created via scanner?

hi:
1. i'm going to assume that this is a very basic question but i can't figure out how to highlight text in a PDF file that i created via flatbed scanner.
2. i have no problem highlighting PDF files that i may have created via the web, but for some unclear reason, when i try to highlight stuff in a PDF file that was created via my scanner, nothing happens.
thanks for any feedback / suggestions. harry

>but for some unclear reason, when i try to highlight stuff in a PDF file that was created via my scanner, nothing happens.
It's very clear. You're trying to highlight text that doesn't exist. It's just a picture of text.
Google OCR or look for the same topic in the Acrobat help files. You "may" be able to convert it to text. Then you can highlight it.

Have patience. You only aske the question about 40 minutes earlier.
You highlight rows like you want by writing values to the tree control. Don't mess with cell background color.
Are you trying to highlight multiple items? If so, then right click on the control and allow it to select 0 or more items. As soon as you select a mode with the possibility of more than one item, the tree values become an array of strings rather than just a string. You will need to build an array of strings that you will write to the control's local variable to highlight the multiple items.
