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.

Does anyone know how to highlight text within a mac mail message?

Does anyone know how to highlight text within a mac mail message?

I can't find that option in Mac Mail's editor. You can use a more feature rich editor like OpenOffice or Pages to create your message. Then copy/paste into mail.

How to highlight text with Adobe Reader XI?

Thanks. The PDF file was made from a web site article and I guess this is the same as scanned as I cannot highlight. The cursor changes but cannot highlight what I want.
I was able to add text and I did this in Red and will ask the VA to read under the sections marked in Red.
Thanks,

How to highlight text in a text box

In Acrobat 5 Pro you could highlight text created with the "FREE TEXT TOOL", I understand this has been renamed the "TEXT BOX TOOL" in Adobe 9 Pro. I can not highlight text created with the text box tool, can anyone help.
Thanks,
Jim E.

Have you tried the text touchup tool, select the text you want, and right click for the properties. I do not think you can highlight in a text box (the form tool for text).

Thanks.

How to highlight text in OA page

I am adding some javascript logic in my OAF page and would like to be able to highlight words in the oamessagetextinput bean. Is this possible?

Its not recommended to use JavaScript to set the focus and cause the highlight. Firstly, its against the consistent behaviour across browsers and secondly its against useability issues.
Please use Formattedtext bean to show highlighted text, readonly.
Thanks

How to highlight text in a screen grab?

I did a screen grab from imdb (Internet Movie DataBase) off the Internet. It's currently in .png format.
I want to highlight part of the text in the text in this picture as if I were using a yellow highlighter marker. I've tried everything I can think of but so far no dice.
It seems that the thing to do is to choose Tools > Mark Up, but Mark Up is grayed out.
I know this is possible because a guy I work with does it all the time. But it's too late to call him, and he's fairly irrascible anyway. And I know I did it once a while ago.
Can someone help? Thanks.

I'd never used Grab before, so just did so. It's an awfully simple app, it seems - offers some capture controls the keyboard commands don't (such as timed and full window), but doesn't seem to be able to do anything other than capture an image. Its Preferences are bare-bones.
I had to open my test image in Preview to make any annotations. That was easy - save the image in Grab to the desktop and name it, then a double-click of the file opened it in Preview.
So, we're back to Preview.
Don't understand why the annotation tools aren't available to you in Preview.
Edit - -
Just rebooted into Snow Leopard to do some testing. No matter what I tried, new screenshot using keyboard or Grab, fiddling with settings, I could not get Preview to not allow selecting the Rectangle tool.
Only other thing I can think of - do a Get Info on the screenshot file, check the permsissions at the bottom of the Get Info window.

How do I highlight text in Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004

HI Anyone:
I have looked under Help and Tutorials in Dreamweaver MX 2004, and I am having a heck of a time finding out how to highlight text in Dreamweaver MX 2004.
Do any of you know how to do this actually in Dreamweaver MX 2004? Say I wanted to highlight this text, all in Yellow:

Re: How do I highlight text in Dreamweaver MX 2004
The simplest way is to use a span and set a background-color for the text you wish to highlight.
e.g.
This is some text
css for above -
.graybg{
backgroung- color: #666666;
This would give you a gray background.

How to highlight All text in Control / Indicator?

I need a VI, that pressing a button I could select all text in control or indicator to be able to copy it then by pressing CTRL + C.
I tried playing with Property node with select-start, select-end, but no results.
Also didn't find any documentation or examples on how to highlight text in indicator.
Could anyone help with this?
Any advice/tip much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The help for 'Selection' mentions that you need to set Key Focus to the control first.
Also there is a system method to copy a string to the system clipboard.
