How to middle text in a text area?

Can someone tell me how to middle the text (vertically) on a JTextArea? It always starts at the top.
Thanks to all in advance

Um, assuming by "middle the text" you mean scroll the text area to the vertical center of the text area:
1) Enclose your text area in a JScrollPane.
2) Get the vertical scroll bar of the scroll pane using:
JScrollBar scrollbar = scrollpane.getVerticalScrollBar();3) Find the middle of the scroll bar using:
scrollbar.setValue(scrollbar.getMaximum() / 2);

  • Text wrap for a paragraph: How to define the width of a Text box /  active text area? I simply need a longish text to wrap within the frame!

    Hello, I've been searching for a good while in the forums now, but have found no solution or real mention of the problem – I hope some of you can help.
    I want to very simply layout a text between scenes, a slightly longer text that wraps within the frame margins. Here's an example of how I want it to look:
    Now, I couldn't for the life of me get the Custom Text to behave like that, as there are no parameters to set for the width of the text area. The Text Size, yes, along with the Tracking, Baseline and all that, but the width of the text box, no. The above was created by customizing one of the other Text Generator presets that happened to be left aligned.
    However, this preset has a fade in/fade out transition, which I do not want. There's no way to remove this transition as it seems integrated into the Text Generator (meaning they are not really presets, but separate kinds of Text objects? Very silly.)
    So I am asking you: Is there any way to get the Custom Text generator to behave like that? Just a text paragraph as above. Below you'll see all I can manage with the diffferent Custom Text parameters. Any kind of repositioning and resizing of the text just changes the position and size of the frame – but the actual text items are just cropped off where they extend out of that frame. Apparently the bounding box for the text is just some default length, and I can't find any way to adjust the width. See below my different attempts.
    The same text pasted into a Custom Text generator clearly extends outside the frame:
    Here Transform just moves – or resizes – the video frame that the Text Box exists inside:
    The Crop gives similar results, and of course Distort doesn't get me closer to what I need, either. There should be simply a Text Box Width parameter to set somewhere, but if it exists they have hidden it very well. How do you do it?
    Thanks for any help, this is a silly problem, but one of now many trivial problems that amount to me growing quite dissatisfied with FCPX. Hopefully I've just overlooked something.
    All the best,
    Thomas

    Thomas...same kind of crap here.
    I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
    Set to 72 pt.
    The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
    There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
    Using Transform will not sort it!

  • How to create a muli line text area using JavaFx

    Hi all,
    Since the preview SDK does not contain TextArea any more, I am wondering how to create a muli line text area using JavaFX. The behaviour of this text area/field should be somehow similar to JTextArea in Swing or StyledTextWidget in SWT.
    Does JavaFX have any support for this? What would be a sensible approach to create such a widget?
    Thanks for your suggestions,
    br michael

    This is a pretty old thread (I know I came across this while searching for something similar recently), but I figured I'd throw this out there in case other people might find this useful. As I write this, JavaFX's latest version is 1.3... which may have added the needed functionality since the last post.
    You can now create a multi-line text area using a TextBox and by specifying the nubmer of lines and setting the "multiline" value to true. It may not offer all of the same functionality as JTextArea, but it did the job for what I needed... newlines by pressing enter, scrollbar if text surpasses height, etc.
    Here's a simple example:
    Group {
       content: [
          TextBox {
             text: "This is a multi-line textbox"
             lines: 10  // <-- this may/may not be necessary depending on your situation. Default is 5.
             multiline: true

    "Your options are:
    Get a trial account form @mac which will work as an iChat name after the 60 days run out but not be a email account that is valid (And is free)"
    Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
    "Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
    The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
    I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
    Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.

  • Where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

    where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

    When you upgraded to Lion did you have AppleWorks installed on your mac?
    Most of the AW documents can be opened by Pages 09 or Numbers 09 with most of the orginal format in tact. (I do not know if previouse verision will work) just open the AW file with both and see which one works best.
    Text Edit will also open most of the AW files as well but will require a lot of work to restore them to their orginal format.
    If you have AW Database documents then they are not supported. 
    These document show up as "exec icons", Kind: Unix Executagle File.
    They also will show up as .cwk file if they are small files. I have a couple that were under 1mb that are shown as " Kind: AppleWorks Document" but will not open.
    The only option to open AW database is to have AW installed on a mac with a pre-Lion OS to recover the file.

    Use a Property Node linked to the Ring inside the array.
    Of course, all elements in the array will have the same text values.

    Are you using the same AppleID for all those phones? If so, get them all their own AppleID.

  • How do I get rid of text in the browser fill area after site publication?

    I want to thank all ot the folks who have helped me here in the Adobe Community. I'm new at this thing and have done fairly well with the exception of a few problems between the monitor and the chair.
    I have published my site on the business catalyst temp host. I also uploaded the site to a ftp host (ATT web hosting), aabeaumont.org. Today and yesterday I have a page title text showing up in the brouser fill area on both hosts. What am I doing to cause this issue and what do I have to do to get rid of the unwanted text. The text shows up differently as I go to each page in the primary site map.
    Again, thank you for your time and help.  aabeaumont.org

    Hello,
    It may be possible that the HTML for head (Page Properties -> Metadata) section contains a tag etc. that hasn't been properly closed. You may want to check that once.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I apply a texture to a text field's fill area?

    Hi all, first post and all that!
    I've seen that it's possible to format a specific bit of text in a text field with:
    setTextFormat(format:TextFormat, beginIndex:int = -1, endIndex:int = -1):void
    I need to format a section of text by applying a texture to the rectangular fill space around the letters. (Imagine in Microsoft Word that you've written a short sentence and you highlight it. Then you fill the text background with a colour. Then imagine that that colour is a single repeating texture. That's what I'm trying to achieve.) Note that the text field must be multiline, and I'm not looking to fill the whole rectangular text field area. The applied texture needs to fit to each character.
    Is this possible in Actionscript?
    Would I need to use some kind of HTML or CSS formatting?
    Is it possible at all?
    If it is possible, is it possible to change the size of the fill area around the text?
    Thanks all!

    Actually, that's pretty much what I'm looking for. For anyone else reading this thread:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=00001279.html
    That'll fill an area with a repeating texture. The tricky bit now is to work out a top left coordinate for each line of text, and the length of each line in pixels (based on the sum of the character widths). I'll have a poke around and see if there's a way to get that information back from a movie clip.
