How to print the content of a text edit ?

Hi to all,
I have a view with a text edit and I want to print its content. I created a button and I want to print text edit content pressing this button. How can I do? Which java code I have to insert in that button?
thanks a lot,
Antonio

Antonio,
Sadly, there is no way to do it directly. Even in plain HTML application it is impossible to print text of UI control (<textarea> in this case).
So you have to open new browser window containing entered text and let user print text himself. Or invoke window.print() on document load event.

  • How to read the content of a text file (by character)?

    Guys,
    Good day!
    I'm back just need again your help. Is there anyone knows how to read the content of a text file not by line but by character.
    Please help me. Thank you so much in advance.

    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/index.html
    package java.io
    InputStream.read(): int
    Reads the next byte of data from the input stream.
    Implementation:
    InputStreamReader
    An InputStreamReader is a bridge from byte streams to character streams: It reads bytes and decodes them into characters using a specified charset. The charset that it uses may be specified by name or may be given explicitly, or the platform's default charset may be accepted.

  • Is it possible to print the content of a text entry box

    I would like to print the content of a text entry box as I've created a 'notepad' in captivate 6. Is it also possible to save content of a text entry box to a word document/web page using javascript?

    The content is stored in the associated variable of the TEB. Have a look at Jim Leichliter's website for instructions to get that variable out of Captivate.

  • Urgent: how to print the contents displayed in JTextPane

    hi all,
    i've a problem printing the contents typed in styled format in JTextPane, when i print the contents nothing is printed. can anyone tell how can i print the contents typed in styled format or so. the code for implementing the print is given below.
    class ContentsArea extends JTextPane implements Pritable {
       public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pi) throws PrinterException {
          if (pi >= 1) {
             return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
          Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
          g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
          g2d.translate(pf.getImageableWidth() / 2,
                          pf.getImageableHeight() / 2);
          Dimension d = getSize();
          double scale = Math.min(pf.getImageableWidth() / d.width,

          if (scale < 1.0) {
              g2d.scale(scale, scale);
          g2d.translate(-d.width / 2.0, -d.height / 2.0);
          return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
    }i'd be grateful to all ppl who helps me.

    What's the exact problem? The printer printing a blank sheet or the printer not doing anything at all? First make sure in the main program you've got something along the lines of...
    import java.awt.print.*;
    PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    PageFormat pageFormat = printerJob.defaultPage();
    if(!printerJob.printDialog()) return; //not essential but lets the user tweak printer setup
    pageFormat = printerJob.pageDialog(pageFormat); //ditto
    printerJob.setPrintable(this, pageFormat);
    print(...);
    The above code should go in an ActionListener, triggered when the user hits a print button or menuitem. I'm guessing you already have something similar set up.
    Then your print(...) method should be similar to
    public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex)
         if(pageIndex>0) return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
         Graphics2D gg = (Graphics2D)g;
         gg.draw(whatever's going to be printed);
         return PAGE_EXISTS;
    Which it is, although yours has clever scaling stuff built in ) The only thing you're not doing is rendering the actual content.
    So if you want the contents of the textpane, it'd make sense to use something like g.drawString(myTextPane.getContents()); in the print method. Note it's g and not g2d, since Graphics2D has more complicated text handling routines.
    I'm no expert tho )

    Here's the funnest, mabye clearest way you could do it: Use 2 Mappers
    package tjacobs.util;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Iterator;
    import java.util.List;
    import tjacobs.Arrays;
    public class Mapper <T>{
         public static interface MappedFunc<T> {
              void map(T value);
         public Mapper(T[] vals, MappedFunc<T> function) {
              this (new Arrays.ArrayIterator<T>(vals), function);
         public Mapper(Iterator<T> iterator, MappedFunc<T> function) {
              while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                   function.map(iterator.next());
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              String[] s = new String[] {"a","b", "c", "abc", "ab"};
              MappedFunc<String> func = new MappedFunc<String>() {
                   public void map(String s) {
                        if (s.toLowerCase().startsWith("a")) {

  • How to print the contents of doubly-Linked List

    Hi
    I have a DLList consists of header , trailer and 10 linked nodes in between
    Is there a simple way to print the contents ie "the elements"
    of the list
    thanks

    In general you should write an iterator for every linked data structure for fast traversal. I'm guessing you're writing your own DLL for an assignment because one normally uses the LinkedList structure that is included in the api. Anyway, here is an example of how the iterator is implemented for a double linked list:

  • How to store the contents of a text file directly in to a clob field

    Hi All,
    Could anyone help me to store the contents of a text file (*.txt,*.xml etc)directly in to a clob field.
    Thanks in advance
    Jayaram.

    One way is to use sqlloader. Three files are used. A control file, an xml data file, and a file with the path of the xml data file. Here's the control file. It reads load.file, which is the file with the path of the xml data file. It names the path ext_path, and inserts the xml into field xml_field.
    CONTENTS OF CONTROL FILE:
    load DATA
    INFILE 'load.file'
    APPEND
    INTO TABLE xml_table
    ( ext_path FILLER CHAR(13),
    "XML_FIELD" LOBFILE(ext_fname) TERMINATED BY EOF
    CONTENTS OF FILE LOAD.FILE:
    /tmp/load.dat
    The xml is in the file /tmp/load.dat.

  • How to customize the content set in text as part of tag cq:text property="text"/

    We use the tag <cq:text property="text"/> to get the content, which is set in the jcr property "text".  Text was set in Richtext component and it has hyper link.
    Now, we have to customize the text.
    Example:-
    Actual Text in 'text' property:-
    <p>Click <a data-action="Hyperlink" data-upc-tooltip-type="none" href="/content/www-abc-healthcare-ch/en/offer.html">here</a> for the link</p> <p></p>
    After customization in 'text' property:-
    <p>Click <a data-action="Hyperlink" data-upc-tooltip-type="none" href="/content/www-abc-healthcare-ch/en/offer">here</a> for the link</p> <p></p>
    i.e .html has been removed.
    I tried customizing and set back to text attribute using <c:set var="text" value="<CustomizedText>" /> but even after that tag <cq:text property="text"/> retrieves the old content i.e with .html
    Please suggest how to override text content, so that the tag <cq:text property="text"/> will print customized text.

      Which version of cq? Is Strict Extension Check enabled at  http://<host>:<port>/system/console/configMgr/com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerTra nsformerFactory

    Hi,
    Let us consider you have list of names(Seperated by delimeter) in a text file and you want to display in  a table.
    1. Create Context Node "Names" and context attribute "Name"
    2. Create Table and bind to the above context.
    3.Write the following code in the "Init method.
    try{
    FileReader f =new FileReader("");
    BufferedReader r=new BufferedReader(f);
    String names=r.readLine();
    Vector Names=new Vector();
    // Use Tokenizer and store all the names i a vector//
    for(int i=0;i<Names.size();i++){
    IPrivate<<VieName>>.INameElement ele=wdContext.createNameElement();
    ele.set<<Name>>( Names.get(i).toString());
    wdContext.NodeName().addElement(ele);
