I've been pretty successful at getting the cursor to hit where I want in text entry boxes.
Maybe some more practice will make perfect. Worked for me, until I got used to,and then again maybe my using a touchscreen smartphone, the process just comes second nature for me.

How to position the cursor in File Name area in JFileChooser??

Hi,
I have been trying to position the cursor directly to filename area in JFileChooser. But no success.
It positions itself at the directory path by default.
How should I achieve this?
The problem is that I do not know the name of this
component used for File Name area hence difficult to
use "requestFocus() or getFocus()" like methods.
Thanks for your help.
-Manoj

Somewhere I saw a tip that explained how to do it, but I didn't keep a link to it. But basically it's like this: JFileChooser is a Container, so getComponent(n) will return the n-th component in the JFileChooser. One of them is the one you want to give the focus to, and I expect it will be a JTextField. A little experimentation should tell you which index you need to use.

How to position the cursor in a text

I there a better way to position the cursor in a text portion other than trying it several times until the OS picks the right space? I know the iPad has a good way to do it by zooming in.
Or is RIM working on it.....

How to position the cursor at the end of the text with EDIT_TEXT?

Hello, it wanted to ask to them if somebody could make work the module of function EDIT_TEXT so that it positions the cursor at the end of the text that is visualizing in the text editor. In the documentation it says that passing a ' X' to him in the field scrollend of the parameter Control is obtained that operation. Nevertheless, I did this and the cursor continues appearing at the beginning of the text that visualizes.
Somebody could help me please?

Gabriel

Murugesh,
I believe that you have mis-read Gabriel's problem.
Gabriel,
The cursor is not positioning at the base of the editor as you have cited.
In order to get this functionality to work, you must set the LINE_EDITOR import paramter to 'X'.
data: hdr like THEAD.

hdr-tdobject = 'VBBP'.

and also provide me the list of threading practical question?

I am talking in context of console.Note that the console can be a number of things in Java; command shell, teletype, etc. You can use either JNI or a third-party library such as jcurses for this sort of thing.

How to change the cursor type when a TableView class was added to a Swing application?

We can resize column width by dragging the column divider in the table header. This is a built-in feature of the TableView class.
Normally, the cursor will become to east-resize (or west-resize) type with positioning the cursor just to the right of a column header.
However, I found that the cursor is remaining the default type at the same position if I integrate JavaFX into Swing Application. That is adding the TableView to a Scene, and then adding this Scene to a JFXPanel, finally, adding this JFXPanel to the JFrame.
The sample codes are listing below:
public class Run extends JFrame {
    Run() {
        setSize(600, 450);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        initComponents();
    private void initComponents() {
        final JFXPanel fxPanel = new JFXPanel();
        this.getContentPane().add(fxPanel);
        Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                initFX(fxPanel);
    private void initFX(JFXPanel fxPanel) {
        Scene scene = null;
        try {
            scene = FXMLLoader.load(
                new File("res/fxml_example.fxml").toURI().toURL()
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        fxPanel.setScene(scene);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                new Run().setVisible(true);
fxml_example.fxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.Scene?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.TableView?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.TableColumn?>
<Scene xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml">
    <TableView fx:id="tableView"
               editable="true">
        <columns>
            <TableColumn text="COL1">
            </TableColumn>
            <TableColumn text="COL2">
            </TableColumn>
            <TableColumn text="COL3">
            </TableColumn>
            <TableColumn text="COL4">
            </TableColumn>
            <TableColumn text="COL5">
            </TableColumn>
        </columns>
    </TableView>
</Scene>
So, are there anyone can advise how to fix these codes; make the cursor can change to east-resize (or west-resize) type when this TableView class was added to a Swing application?

Thanks for the report. I've just filed a JIRA issue: https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-34009

Lumia 800 - positioning the cursor

Hello Lumia fans,
while typing a text message - its very hard to position the cursor before or after a particular letter. instead it selects the whole word. its so annoying..
and how to copy the entire text message in d sms??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello @maninred,
-You can move the cursor in your text when it's blinking between the words by long-pressing it and then move your finger on the screen without lifting it.
-You can copy the text by choosing the first letter and then slide your finger to the last word and then by pressing the white clipboard icon.

Positioning the cursor in the list while using INPUT ON

Hi all,
I am using INPUT ON command in write statement for quantity field(BDMNG).
My question is how to posiotion the cursor towards right side for the field.
Thanks,
Vijay.

When you write the field, did you try to play with its alignment?
Try this:
DATA: l_bdmng TYPE bdmng.
WRITE l_bdmng left-JUSTIFIED INPUT ON.
It is not going to give your cursor the last position, but at least you will have a different behaviour.
