How to obtain the string selected by mouse in a TextField

Hi!
We have a JtextField with a string. We want the user to select with the mouse a part of this string and we want to get it,when he press a button. We think we should use the function getCare but we don't really know how it works.
Thank you very much!

JTextField extends JTextComponent which has methods for getting the selected text. The
comments section of the class api has a link into the tutorial where you can find more
discussion and examples.

  • How to Return the Index of a Mouse-Selected Array Element in the View Interface of Diadem

    Hello,
    Does anybody have an idea of how to obtain the index of a mouse-selected array element in the View interface of Diadem??
    Thanks!

    Hi Ovidius,
    Keep explaining.  The only way I know of to trap a selected cell value in VIEW is to embed into the desired VIEW area a second non-modal SUDialog that has a Table control or an XTable control displaying the values of certain data channels.  There are callbacks in both table controls for cell selection, and you can configure the table control to allow only single cell selection if that's what you want.  The regular table control will be easier to program, but the XTable control will perform much better for larger channels.
    But what happens with that value the user selected?  Is it used for a calculation?  Is it added to a report?  Why would the user select that cell in a table rather than selecting the corresponding feature in a graph with the crosshair cursor?

  • How to obtain the row data in the component datatable?

    if I want to edit a row data, and then know which row is edited in the component datatable, and how to do?
    How to obtain the row data in the component datatable, and update it to database, not simplely edit a simple table
    Any ideas? Thanks

    Thank you very much for your help Alexander !
    It's quite confusing when you leave Struts and try to adapt your projects for JSF for the first time...
    I wanted to click on a row with a "onMouseClick" on the TR tag like I used to do in Struts/JSTL. But it seems to be impossible in a dataTable.
    Ok then. I've added a column at the end of the row with an icon.
    But eventually I didn't need to declare link parameters.
    In my BackingBean I did like this :
    public String selectEventForUpdate() throws IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException {
            PortletAgenda event = (PortletAgenda) JSFUtils.getInRequestMap("event");
            BeanUtils.copyProperties(this, event);
            return null;
       }JSFUtils.getInRequestMap(...) is a method I wrote in a util object :
    public static Object getInRequestMap(String name) {
            Object res = null;
            Map requestMap=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestMap();
            if (requestMap!=null) {
                res=requestMap.get(name);
            return res;
    }  " event " is the name of the item in my dataTable list.
    My backingBean has the same attributes as "event".
    So when the page is reloaded I have a backingBean full with the selected properties to edit/update.
    Thanks to your reply I realized that putting this form in the middle of the dataTable seems to be impossible.
    So I put this form in a floating DIV in front of the table with a shadow.
    It works :o) !
    But I'm a little bit disapointed to be honest...
    I used to build my web applications with Struts and JSTL and doing this kind of interface was really easy.
    I've decided 3 days ago to convert into JSF because the "GUI Layer" seemed to be improved.
    But now I realize that I cannot put a onMouseOver and onMouseClick on a row and I cannot display a different row in the middle of a table....
    I think it's a shame because there is a facet for header and footer.
    And it would be great if we could create our own personal facet that appears only if a condition is true.
    For exemple " if the current item id is the same as the request parameter id then display the following facet content ....... (with a panel group and a form inside to update the row) "
    It's easy to do that with JSTL thanks to c:forEach and c:if but it seems to be impossible to use JSTL tags like this during the dataTable iteration.
    And JSF tags seems to have no logical tags like " if " or loops that can be nested in dataTable.
    I really need to realize this interface (you click on a row then an edit form appears where you clicked).
    Do I have to write a component myself that extends dataTable?
    Do you know if writing such a component is hard to do for a beginner like me?
    (I've juste discovered JSF 3 days ago and I've used Struts/JSTL for 2 years til now)
    I'd be glad to have much advices from you about that.
    Regards

  • How to obtain the updated column name in a trigger?

    Hello everyone,
    I need to know for audit propose the updated column name in a After Update Trigger on a Table.
    The table have more than 20 columns, and i think that do more than 20 conditions asking for the difference between the :new value and the :old value is not the best way.
    Thanks for the help!
    LCJ

    Hi,
    Thanks to all for the replays.
    I didn't know that i can pass the column name to the UPDATING. This is only possible on 10g??
    Any way, i pass the column name and works fine, but i have another issue because of that.
    I obtain the column name from a cursor that query user_tab_columns view, when i try to obtain the value of the :old or :new, i can't because i don't know how to obtain the value of the value.
    This example show better:
    DECLARE
    vOldValue Varchar2(50);
    Cursor cur_Column_Names Is
    Select COLUMN_NAME
    From User_Tab_Columns
    Where TABLE_NAME = 'table_name';
    BEGIN
    For var_cursor In cur_Column_Names Loop
    If Updating(var_cursor.COLUMN_NAME) Then
    vOldValue := '?'; -- How obtain the value of the :old. + >var_cursor.COLUMN_NAME??
    End If;

  • How to obtain the default serie for a document

    Hi,
        Anybody know how can obtain the default serie for a document throw a query??
    I can`t see the relation between the ONNM and the NNM1 tables because the 'dfltseries' field of the ONNM not corresponding with the 'Series' field of the NNM1.
    For example for an A/P Invoice
    Thanks!!

    Hi Mariano,
    According to the SDK Help file, you need to query the NNM2 table
    Series Default
    Table name: NNM2
    ObjectCode     UserSign     Series     DocSubType
    So, the query to retrieve the A/P default series for the manager user would be:
    SELECT T0.Series FROM [dbo].[nnm2] T0 WHERE T0.ObjectCode='13' AND T0.UserSign = 1
    From the SDK you can replace the T0.UserSign = 1 for T0.UserSign = oCompany.UserSignature to retrieve the default series for the current user...

  • How to avoid the user selecting a different path in my installer

    Hello again all you helpful forum-goers!
    I have an application and a corresponding installer, and then I have a separate installer putting some support files in the same directory.  My problem is that if the user selects a different path to which to install my primary application, the secondary installer will not put the required support files in the same spot.
    Now, I think I've figured out how to get the user-selected path from the "Run executable at the end of installation" option in the Advanced pane of the LabVIEW installer configuration, and I can pass that in to my secondary installer, and that should fix the problem.  However, what I'd really like to do is just not give the user the option to install my primary application in a different directory to begin with.  I've looked, but cannot find any way to do that.
    Does anyone know of any way to not present the option to install an application in a different directory when using the LabVIEW installer?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
    -Joe

    Ben64,
    That's great!  Thank you so much for your quick reply.  The only reason I haven't already accepted that as my solution is that it requires a manual post-compile change to a text file.  Ideally I'd prefer not to have to remember to do that every time I rebuild my installer.  Is there any way that you know of to automate the process?
    If not, I'm happy to have a good solution even if it takes an extra step each time to implement.

  • How to get the previoulsy selected value in a combobox

    How to get the previoulsy selected value in a combobox. i WANT the current and the previously selected value of the combobox.

    Just add to combobox ItemListener. When item is changing in itemStateChanged arrives 2 events. ItemEvent.DESELECTED and ItemEvent.SELECTED with corresponding item's values. Just write something like this:
            comboBox.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
                Object prevValue;
                public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
                    if (e.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
                        //do what you need with prevValue here
                    } else {
                        prevValue = e.getItem();

  • How to get the old selection in ListSelectionListener valueChanged() method

    Hi,
    Is anyone know how to get the old selection index/value in the ListSelectionListener valueChanged() method? The list.selectedValue() always return the same value which is the new selection. The ListSelectionEvent.getFirstIndex() and getLastIndex are always firstIndex <= lastIndex so that you cant' tell which one is the old selection.
    Please help and thanks!

    Just test the two indexes (first and last): if the corresponding row is selected, then the other is unselected. That gives you the old (unselected) and new (selected) item.
    Of course, I have supposed that you were using a SINGLE_SELECTION model...
    Hope this helped,
    Regards.

    You need to specify "Default Values" in the report parameter property. Choose similar option used in the "Available Values" option, this will allow the parameter to check "Select All".

  • How to get the default selection color from JTable

    Hi, there,
    I have a question for how to get the default selection color from JTable. I am currently implementing the customized table cell renderer, but I do want to set the selection color in the table exactly the same of default table cell renderer. The JTable.getSelectionBackgroup() did not works for me, it returned dark blue which made the text in the table unreadable. Anyone know how to get the window's default selection color?
    Thanks,
    -Jenny

    The windows default selection color is dark blue. Try selecting any text on this page. The difference is that the text gets changed to a white font so you can actually see the text.
    If you don't like the default colors that Java uses then use the UIManager to change the defaults. The following program shows all the properties controlled by the UIManager:
    http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/ShowUIDefaults.java
    Any of the properties can be changed for the entire application by using:
    UIManager.put( "propertyName", value );
