Method to set text at a specific pos in a textarea

I'm writing a text editor, using a JTextArea and I need to be able to insert text into an opened file at a specific position (preferrably not at the cursor position, but I'm open to any ideas) via a method. I looked in the API for JTextArea but either there isn't a method that meets my requirments or I'm just blind.
Can anyone help?

To answer you first question, you might be going a little blind, the JTextArea has a method:
insert( String text, int position );
To answer you second question about documents, I find that many of the questions in this forum could be answered if people would take the time to read the "Creating a GUI with Swing" tutorial. It can be referenced online or downloaded free:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
The section on text components discusses documents.
Another source of reference articles is:
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/index.html
I have created an editor using a JTextPane mostly using these two reference plus 'searching' the forum. The search facility is a great resource.

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 :)

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.

Work with JTable cell (check input, set text color)

I have a JTable with data
The task is:
User inputs some data into cell
I want to check his input string for equatily with other values in column
For example, I have these values in column:
1.example
2.exercise
3.execute
User inputs word "execution" in the same column
until user inputs "executi" his input string should be red.
What event I have to listen to if I want to get user input string?
Also a question:
Is there any opportunity to work with cell row (copy it to another JTable) ?

i think you should use cell editor as textfield (although that is default for jtable) and then implements document listener and set text color in insert update method.
try this out :-)

This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height

How to create PDF from text file with specific layout?

I wanted to create the pdf from text file in specific layout - Landscape orientation and JIS B3 Page size while at Adobe Acrobat Pro.
In past, I could do a right click on a text file (desktop area) and select print to print out the document into .pdf BUT only if I set the Adobe PDF to Landscape and JIS B3 Page size BEFORE. And I could only do 15 text documents at once.
I wanted to see if I could do the create the pdf from text file with specific layout in Adobe Acrobat without having to go to Control Panel to preset the Adobe PDF to specific layout at every time. I would have to set Adobe PDF back to normal layout after I'm done with these pdf print outs. I do lots of pdfs in normal layout. Sometimes I would forget to do that.
So, How do I do that?

No such luck. It would output the contents in letter size even in JIS B3 Page layout at MS word.
Is there a script or action where I could set the orientation and page size before creating PDF on these text files?

Set Text of Layer Question

A Very Easy Question.
I attempt to "set text of layer." I click on the plus sign on
the behaviors window, and set text to layer. A cute little box pops
up. In the Layer drop down box is a host of "unnamed
<span>"s. None of my divs are listed. In the body of this
page are Plenty of ID'd divs. I have named layers out the wazoo.
Why Are My Named Layers Not Listed In the Layer Drop Down
Box?

It would depend entirely on your level of HTML expertise.
One way to solve the problem would be to use an IFrame to
contain the
external content on the page, but a frame is a frame is a
frame. By that I
mean that IFrames usually provide all the user problems that
frames do.

Linking from one page to another is how static HTML pages
work. Having a
single page to display multiple content elements as loaded
from a database
requires that the page return to the server to fetch new
content from the
database on each click. Either method requires a page
refresh.
Linking to content that is placed within an IFrame doesn't
require this page
refresh, but carries other disadvantages as mentioned above.
Does that help at all?

Programmatically setting text justification in a table

I am looking for a method to programmatically set text justification in a table. As far as I can tell the attribute is not available at run time. Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

Of course you could make several identical tables on top of each other, but with different font alignment, then make the desired one visible . It's ugly but will work just fine.

Set Text of Container to HTML not working

I have a div tag named "theAnswer" on a page. When the user
clicks the "Submit" button, I want some text to appear inside the
div that has HTML formatting.
The HTML code for the text I want to appear is below:
You are correct! We are committed to conducting
business with
the highest degree of integrity, complying with legal
standards and
regulations and serving others with respect, fairness and
caring.  Click here for <a
href="javascript:;"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../docs/
Ethics_Standard_1.pdf','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=790,height=575')">More
Info</a> or click Continue.
After I put in the Behavior to "Set Text > Set Text of
Container to", choose the correct Div tag, and paste the above into
the "New HTML" field, when I click the Submit button, I get the
following appearing in the div "theAnswer" exactly how it appears
below as text without it being actual formatted HTML.
You are correct! We are committed to conducting
business with

It's not formatted as HTML, it just comes out exactly what
the coding is. Why?!

Let's see the page, please.

How do I GET the 'set text of container' behavior in DW CS3 if it's missing?

I'm building a site using CSS in DW CS3 (bought in May 2006) that has some photo gallery pages where a large image changes per thumbnails to its right that are clicked. The thumbnails are in their divs and the wished-for big image should appear in a larger div to the left. I've read in other postings here that I can use Behaviors panel > Set Text > Set text to container to do this, but this behavior is missing in my Set Text submenu. How do I add this behavior there?
Also, how do I not only create this 'on click' behavior, but have the thumbnail image change to a 'HIT' state like a rollover would?
(P.S. - posted this yesterday, slightly different heading, but it didn't appear today)
Thanks for your help --

Check this location in windows C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Behaviors\Actions\Set Text
If this Set Text folder is not there it means that the behavior did not get installed. So you might need to reinstall DW CS3.

Need help with Set Text behavior

In Dreamweaver CS3/Mac, I am creating a disjointed rollover
that is initiated by rolling over an image. I need it to swap two
images and hopefully set text in two divs. I want this to happen on
rollover and not on click. I don't want it to restore on mouse out.
The images are no problem but I can't seem to make this happen for
the text. Is this possible? Any help? Thanks.

I have set text size to Auto but it starts too small

I have created a form in Acrobat Pro 9, and set text size to Auto in all fields.
I know it is limited to the height of the field, but one of the fields is a block for multi-line paragraghs. Size is set to Auto, font to Times Roman. When I open the file in Reader to test it, it looks like it's starting at 12 points. It goes down from there as the whole block is filled with text, but I'd like it to start at around 18.
Advice?

as I mentioned, this one field is a block for multi-line paragraghs. It's one, large text block, taking up the bottom half of the form, so that users can input multiple paragraphs of text (they're telling their story). Some people will write a lot, some less. That's why I set it to Auto, so that the shorter stories would be in larger text, but longer stories will still shrink to fit.
It works, but I want to know if their is a way to get the text to start out at a larger font size before auto-sizing-to-fit. I mean, Something is telling the font to start at 12 point...
Should I attach the form to this discussion? (How do I do that?)
