How to set text in a TextArea

I have tried to find ways around this, but i must set text into a panel. but there is no .setText(), like there is for text fields. So how would i set text into a TextArea?
BTW: what i am trying to do is be able to constatly add things without replacing what has been put up there.
thank you

thank youCould it be that you are not aware of the documentation?
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/
By the way, JTextArea does have a setText method, but it replaces the current text with the given text. It sounds like you want to use ---- but wait, it's better if you find that out yourself. Big hint: it's the first method listed on JTextArea's API page.
edit: too late!If he wasn't aware of the documentation, he probably would have tried using setText(), and found that it worked. That he thought it didn't exist suggests that he looked at the API but only looked in the method summary area, and not below at the "methods inherited from..." sections.

How to Align Text in the TextArea

How to Align text in the TextArea. My purpose is that I want to post the records after retrieving from database. All the records in each fields should keep aligned like Oracle WorkSheet.
I want this way
Code Name Place City
a01 nilopher swiss street japan
a02 rozina lovely street aus
a03 benazir king's camp pitsburg
and the out put should not look like this :-
Code Name Place City
a01 nilopher swiss street japan
a02 rozina lovely street aus
a03 benazir king's camp pitsburg
here place and city records are getting disturbed accordingly the length of name.

Well, first off (if it's not default, that is) you must set a monospaced font on the TextArea, unless you want to count pixelwidth of each and every string and then do an estimate on how many fill blanks you want...
If you have the each string as a line, you use a StringTokenizer on it, extract each token, put all the tokens for that line into an array of strings.
When every line is done, you compare the length of the nth String of each array and save the highest numbers.
Then you reassemble each line from the arrays and pad in spaces where the tokens are too short.

How to set text and background color of current row in a adf table?

Hi,
In jdev 11.1.2.3,
How to set text fond and background color of current row in a adf table?
I tried to set Background color in table property, but that is not what i want.
Thanks.

Hi,
We almost had the same requirement, but we just needed to color a specific column.
Here goes the solution to that, you might do the same for your row highlighting
Changes are required in jsff and one method to be added in backing bean
1. JSFF :
<af:column headerText="Amount"
                 id="c4" width="100"
                 inlineStyle="#{backingBeanScope.BackingBean.cellColor}">2. Backing Bean
//searchResultTableVO is Table's VO
public String getCellColor() {
      FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      ExpressionFactory ef = ctx.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
      ValueExpression ve = ef.createValueExpression(ctx.getELContext(), "#{row}", FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding.class);
      FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding node = (FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding)ve.getValue(ctx.getELContext());
      Row row = node.getRow();
    if(row.equals(searchResultTableVO.getCurrentRow())){
//You can add your inline style for font-style too
      return "background-color:Red;";
         return null;
}Hope this is helpful :)

[iPhone 2.x] How to set text of a label from another classfile?

I've a iPhone application (tabbar application) with some UIViewControllers. Per UIViewController i've created another .xib file.
In one of the .xib files, i've created an UIView with an UILabel and created an outlet called "lblStatus" and connected it to the UILabel. I did all with Interface Builder.
When i execute the application everything works great.
Now i want to change the text of UILabel (lblStatus) from another class other then the class i've defined the outlet.
MainWindow.xib
- UITabBarController
- UITabBar
- UIViewController (viewController)
- UIViewController (redirect to photosView.xib)
photosView.xib
- UIView (photosView)
- UILabel (lblStatus)
As you can see i've the classfile viewController (.h/.m). In that file i've the method called "viewDidLoad". I'm trying to set the text of lblStatus (defined in the classfile photosView (.h/.h) from this method.
I've tried a lot but nothing works till now, how can i fix this?
Thanks

You can use RadiobuttonGroupbykey And set the SelectedKey property to the attribute you bind with the SimpleType
After This you will see the RadioButtons

How to set text resources avoiding automatic page update with c:set tag

Hello everyone,
I'm developing my web application with JDeveloper 11.1.2.3.0 in order to support two language locales (en and de). Following this guide I've performed the following steps:
Creation of two property files (Resources.properties and Resources_de.properties) with the key-value entries;
Modify of faces-config.xml file adding these lines:
<locale-config>
        <default-locale>en</default-locale>
        <supported-locale>de</supported-locale>
</locale-config>
<resource-bundle>
      <base-name>view.Resources</base-name>
      <var>res</var>
   </resource-bundle>
In the project properties > Resources Bundle I've checked:
Automatically Synchronize Bundle;
Warn about Hard-coed Translatable Strings;
Always Prompt for Description.
In the same place I've set the default project bundle name to view.Resources.
In a test JSP page I've a outputText with the value #{res['HELLOWORLD']} where HELLOWORLD is the key in the property files. All works fine, and the correct string is shown based on locale browser settings.
Anyway, when I use the "Select Text Resources..." menu in any text value choosing a value from the default property file, JDev automatically adds the following tag:
<c:set var="customuiBundle" value="#{adfBundle['view.ViewControllerBundle']}"/>
setting the value of the text in #{ViewControllerBundle.HELLOWORLD}.
There is a way to avoid this behavior? Can I manage the resources in a different way? I would to choose a value from the list in order to get the res.KEY value instead of ViewControllerBundle.KEY value.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Manuel

don't select from menu - go to source and write it . The problem with the tools is they have a certain way of doing things and don't think we should spend time customizing jdeveloper rather concentrate on the work in hand.

How to set background color for textarea

Hi all,
I have created an application in Apex 3.2.
I am now able to disable the text fields, select lists and textarea.
Ex:
function disableDD()
var v_ddays              = document.getElementById("P2_DELINQUENCY_DAYS");
v_ddays.value            = "";
v_ddays.disabled         = true;
v_ddays.style.background = '#cccccc';
}The background color thing is working for all the text fields, but the same is not working with the textarea.
Any help please....

I don't know if this will help u...try make sense of it :

How do I format text within a TextArea

Hello,
I would like to create a simple text editor that performs
syntax highlighting. In order to do so, I would need the ability to
set the style of individual pieces of text within a TextArea. Is
this possible? Do I need to subclass the TextArea (or perhaps the
Text control) to do this? Any pointers in the right direction would
be appreciated. Thanks!

The issues around formatting text in the Flash Player are
numerous. There are several experts who have weighed in on this,
including .
Axel
Jensen who has made available a modification of the
RichTextEditor component. Additionally,
Jesse Warden has several older
articles in his blog on this issue. Finally, there is a
commercially available Flash/Flex text editor developed by Igor
(last name unknown to me), and found at:
http://www.flashtexteditor.com/.
Overall, the issue of accurately formatting text in
Flash/Flex has been an exercise in frustration, especially when
trying to implement htmlText and CSS. I am absolutely amazed that
Adobe's documentation for this very important aspect of web
development is either unavailable or deeply flawed, and on top of
that: How is the Acrobat Connect Buzzword application able to do so
much with text formatting, clearly within a Flex Framework, and yet
no concrete documentation of the techniques are available

How to set up rules/conditions on a drop down box to ensure its been filled if a value in a text box is selected.

Hi, I am in midst of creating a form in infopath. I have a text box field in which the user will enter the number of issues he has. if the user has entered the number of issues he has, then he will need to select the type of issues from a multi selection
box. Thus i need to know how to set up rules/conditions to ensure that the user has to complete the multi selection box if he enters a value in text box for the number of issues.

I assume what you are asking is to make multi selection box as mandatory. If not please explain with a example
Try below:

File adapter-How to set line break in text file-split record into two lines

Dear Guru's,
I have to solve following problem with XML (with mulitiple records) to TEXT file scenario using file adapter. I have to output for ever ONE data record in XML always two identical lines in text file. Second line should have a little bit different mapping in few fields like date,... So I did duplicate fileds in my output structure in mapping and need to know how to set line break in the middle and see half of structure in first line and next structure half in second line
My output structure in mapping is:
CASHFLOW
- INTERFACE
- GESELLSCHAFT
- ANWENDUNG
- PRODUKT
- VERTRAG
- BETRAG
- WAEHRUNG
- DIRECTION
- BEWEGUNGSTYP
- FAELLIGKEIT
- ZINSFESTSTELLUNG
- ZAHLUNGSTAG
- RENDITE
- INTERFACE2
- GESELLSCHAFT2
- ANWENDUNG2
- PRODUKT2
- VERTRAG2
- BETRAG2
- WAEHRUNG2
- DIRECTION2
- BEWEGUNGSTYP2
- FAELLIGKEIT2
- ZINSFESTSTELLUNG2
- ZAHLUNGSTAG2
- RENDITE2
Question is how can I set on receiving file adapter in Content Conversion Parameters that fields from first structure half INTERFACE...RENDITE should be outputed in one line and fields from second half of structure INTERFACE2...RENDITE2 should start on second line in final text file.
I'm getting at the moment one line only and I need to know how can set line break so that second line starting with INTERFACE2(CA)...RENDITE2 will start in new line.
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",2,12,2009-01-28,2009-01-27,2009-01-28,"0.0000000",CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",1,10,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,"0.0000000"
This should be final output:
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",2,12,2009-01-28,2009-01-27,2009-01-28,"0.0000000"
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",1,10,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,"0.0000000"
My file adapter settings:
RecordsetStructure=CASHFLOW
CASHFLOW.fieldNames=INTERFACE,GESELLSCHAFT,ANWENDUNG,PRODUKT,VERTRAG,BETRAG,WAEHRUNG,DIRECTION,BEWEGUNGSTYP,FAELLIGKEIT,ZINSFESTSTELLUNG,ZAHLUNGSTAG,RENDITE
CASHFLOW.fieldSeparator=,
CASHFLOW.endSeparator='nl'
CASHFLOW.fieldNames=INTERFACE2,GESELLSCHAFT2,ANWENDUNG2,PRODUKT2,VERTRAG2,BETRAG2,WAEHRUNG2,DIRECTION2,BEWEGUNGSTYP2,FAELLIGKEIT2,ZINSFESTSTELLUNG2,ZAHLUNGSTAG2,RENDITE2
CASHFLOW.fieldSeparator=,
It wont help if I add two identical structures in mapping because in output i would see for multiple entries section with first lines only and after that section with second lines only. And CASHFLOW is one part of more complex mapping ...
(This is final output structure RecordsetStructure=HEADER,CASHFLOW,CONDITION,REFERENCE,CONTRACT - more sections with different data and all these should have duplicate lines at the end)
Thanks a lot for any help
Cheers
Marian
Edited by: Marian Luscon on Jul 14, 2009 11:44 AM

Hi Ivan,
right, I did test just for sure.
Putting constant 'nl' into field CASHFLOW-INTERFACE1 didnt help - still getting one line instead two lines.
CA ,"0100" ,"7" ,"512" ,20090127GTP101 ,-12454762586.6800 ,"EUR" ,2 ,12 ,2009-01-28 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-28 ,"0.0000000" ,'nl' ,"GTP1" ,"7" ,"512" ,20090127GTP101 ,-12454762586.6800 ,"EUR" ,1 ,10 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-27 ,"0.0000000"
So there is still question. Is there any way (mapping,...) how to output always 2 lines in text file for one record in XML. It always does 1 record in mapping structure = 1 line but we need 2 lines ...
Example:
Input: 4 records in XML
Output: 8 lines in final text file ...
Thanks to you all guys

I don't want to send a group text and only access that group by pulling up the text screen. All I want to do is assign a few numbers to a group name and use that group name to send a next message to the recipients. Any ideas?

Since a phone number field in Contacts does not have the ability to delineate between numbers, probably not. Theoretically, I suppose it could work if applied for recipients getting iMessages AND using email as the receive address, but hard to say. But for SMS texting, no.
