Java GUI cursor position in the window, mixed text editable and uneditable

Hello,
I primarily program in VBScript for Client Acces; but, I wanted to start creating user interfaces with Java.
VBScript is not compiled on the private drive and anyone can learn how to do a program from well documented code; however, a compiled .class Java program does not have to be sent with the .java source code to work. The compiled program is unreadable by others and uneditable by others. Although I can do what I want with ActiveX programming, I want to use Java instead because it will prevent others from knowing how I program my solutions.
The NetBeans IDE allows for controls to be dragged and dropped onto a screen; however, I want to know how to have uneditable and editable fields on the same page while allowing the cursor to be anywhere on the page and report its cursor position just as it is reported in Client Access.
Does Java support the .Net Framework; or, does it have its own objects and methods to pull the cursor position in a window? I need the row and column, not the x and y coordinates.
Java How To Program, Sixth Edition, has some deprecated code examples and I found working solutions from the Java Almanac. However, I did not see an example of this sort.
What I will do once I know how to track the cursor position in the window is generate a Java based training module. Every computer at my workplace has Java runtimes installed, none of them have the .Net Framework installed. Java has a lot of tools that allow me to replace all my ActiveX programming with Java programming.
Have a great Day!
Jesse Grune.

How to get the cursor position in the text edit box?

Hi, all.

Hi Miya,
Write your own textSelectionSuite for this.
and use ITextTarget->GetRange() function.
Thanks and Regards,

Did you try by iterating the selected row?
Bind the table with the managed bean and then try with below code:
RichTable empTable;
RowKeySet selectedEmps = getEmpTable().getSelectedRowKeys();
Iterator selectedEmpIter = selectedEmps.iterator();
DCBindingContainer bindings = (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
DCIteratorBinding empIter = bindings.findIteratorBinding("EmpView1Iterator");
RowSetIterator empRSIter = empIter.getRowSetIterator();
while(selectedEmpIter.hasNext()){
   Key key = (Key)((List)selectedEmpIter.next()).get(0);
   Row currentRow = empRSIter.getRow(key);
   System.out.println(currentRow.getAttribute("Ename"));

Cursor position in the mx:TextInput

Hi guys, does anyone knows how to set the exact cursor
position in the mx:TextInput ? For example I want to set cursor
after the second symbol. Is that possible ?

<textinputID>.setSelection(position, position);
for example, if i want my cursor in the second position of a
textinput named "nameField":
nameField.setSelection(1,1);
*used 1 because index starts at 0

Can Java be used to manipulate the Windows registry?

Can Java be used to manipulate the Windows registry? If so, can someone point me to some examples?
Thanks!

There is no supplied capability to do this, because the registry is Windows platform specific.
It might be possible by making the call through a native Windoze app.

A small but very irritating bug in Mail: after pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word such as "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.

When composing an email in Mac Mail I've noticed a small but very irritating bug: pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word, e.g. "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.
Any ideas?

I just recreated this problem on my iMac (wired KB, no wireless KB) by changing Mail > Preferences > Composing > Spellcheck from "as I type" to "never". Then type a contraction ending in 're and the space bar causes the cursor to jump back as others have stated, to the spot 'r|e
Next, I went into System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, and turned off "use smart quotes" and the problem went away again.
From this point (smart quotes off, spell checking never), if I turn Smart Quotes ON, the problem returns.
The problem is dependent on the state of both settings.
The spacebar in Mail "works" if I have either of the following setting combinations:
Keyboard: smart quotes OFF, Mail: check spelling ANY SETTING
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: check spelling AS I TYPE
Other combinations FAIL
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check spelling NEVER
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check Spelling WHEN I CLICK SEND
Looks to me like there's a bug in Mail > Preferences > Check spelling > NEVER and WHEN I CLICK SEND that interacts badly with Keyboard > Smart quotes ON.
Thanks.

I am so frustrated. I put ab object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens. It is so frustrating! I then open up Everweb and the same thing,

I put an object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer, just the text cursor shows) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens. It is so frustrating! I then open up Everweb and the same thing, I create an object and then try and elect it to make it bigger etc and cannot. I know it must be something system wide as it happens in apps other than Pages.

Where is the Inspector Window for Text Edit for Office Org.

Where is the Inspector Window for Text Edit for Office Org. My tool bar does not look like this. It's only one line with font, Style, size, font color, BIU, alignment, line spaces and indentation options. The help says that this is how I adjust my page margins. That is my goal.
Thanks

The name field must match that found in the email confirmation. Even a missing Mr. will cause it to fail.

Steve,
I appreciate your answer. While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change. Yes, it might work. The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro? Any issues with anyone else?
Thanks Steve. I do appreciate your offering a solution. I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

Cant stand the changes to my Maxx HD with the KitKat upgrade, text colors and keyboard terrible. How can I remove the upgrade and go back to what I had?

How can I remove this new Kitkat upgrade and go back to what I had. I cannot deal with the color on text screen and the keyboard is terrible. Can take back all the stupid pictures they added for texting. Just need it back to what it was.

Hasn't any business ever heard of the term.

When i try download a file from the internet it looks like its downloading then when i go to open this file it opens up in the app text edit and says it cannot open i DOS mode? Can anyne help?

when i try to download a file from the internet it starts to download but when its finished it opens up in the app "text edit" and it says this file cannot open in DOS mode.
Can anyone help?

It sounds like perhaps the file doesn't have an extension that the system recognizes. Is this all files, or just one specific one, and if so, which? What is the name (and extension, if it has one) of the downloaded file? What kind of file do you *expect* it to be? (PDF, or whatever). Renaming a file with the appropriate extension can often fix that kind of problem.
