MS 6.0 Custom Editor

In preparation of migration from MS 5.2 / DS 4.16 to current releases I have running a test installation jes 04Q2. Trying to manage users/groups I found problems using the custom editor of the management console. It seems, Sun don�t like to support this feature in this (and future?) versions. Is there any other way to manage user/group properties in a comfortable GUI tool? To use the generic editor is not the way for daily routine tasks. Someone told me to use identity server, but I found this too complex for only this goal.

Sometime in the next few months. It's in beta, now, but release dates are not something I can predict.

JDev Extensions: Register only a particular XML file with custom Editor?

Hi Guys,
I have extended the Editor class and created my own Editor - MyCustomEditor. Below is the part of 'extension.xml', where I am registering any XML document with this editor.
<editors xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ide/extension">

<editor id="myCustomEditor.design"
label="My Design"
editor-class="oracle.xxx.xxx.MyCustomEditor" >
<node-type class="oracle.bali.xml.addin.XMLSourceNode" />
</editor>
</editors>
But my actual requirement is to register my custom (design) editor to a particular XML file which has a fixed name, lets say MyApplicationFile.xml. I don't want this Custom Editor for any other XML document. How can I achieve this?
Thanks,
Rajesh.

No JDev version??
Here is what you can try.
1. Subclass XMLSourceNode to CustomXMLSourceNode. Mention this class in editor tag.
2. In addition to <editor> you may need to have <xml-recognizer> along with <include-filenames>MyApplicationFile.xml</include-filenames>.

Java.lang.NullPointerException during clicking custom editor

Hi,
I have faced java.lang.NullPointerException when I want to click the custom editor in the property field. Let me explain more in depth.
I have selected a hyperlink and want to key in the URL link under the property. When I click on the custom editor, it should have a pop-up screen for me to key in the link. However, it shows a java.lang.NullPointerException error.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you.

How? double click to edit a cell in a JTable (Custom Editor/TableModel)

I have a JTable with a custom table model that when you click anything in the first column a custom editor appears. I would like to know how to make the custom editor appear after a double click on any cell in the first column. It can probably be done with a MouseListener but is there any easier way to do this?
Thanks.

this works for me.
public class MyJcustomEditor extends DefaultCellEditor {
public MyJcustomEditor(JTextField tField) {
super(tField);

Strange behavior in JTable using JFileChooser as custom editor

I have an application that I am working on that uses a JFileChooser (customized to select images) as a custom editor for a JTable. The filechooser correctly comes up when I click (single click) on a cell in the table. I can use the filechooser to select an image. When I click on the OPEN button on the filechooser, the cell then displays the editor class name.
I have added prints to the editor methods and have determined that editing is stopped before the JTable adds the listener. I have looked at the code and have searched doc for examples but have not found what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help?
I configured the table editor as follows:
//Set up the editor for the Image cells.
private void setUpPictureEditor(JTable table) {
table.setDefaultEditor(String.class, new PictureChooser());

Custom Editor: get c++ LanguageService

Hi,
I'm currently creating a custom editor for Visual Studio.
Does somebody know how to get the registered c++ language service and use it for parse c++ and create my own syntactic coloration ?
Thank you in advance
Axel Payan

Hi Axel,
Please take a look at this thread, it's for Visual C# language, but should give you some ideas about how to utilize the built-in C++ language service for your custom editor:

How to get the caret inside a custom editor?

I was reading through old posts the other day and noticed this by Rob Camick in this thread Re: Problem in cell selection in JTable Java Swing :
camickr wrote:
All KeyEvents are passed to the editor for the cell and the editor is psuedo invoked. That is, the caret is not placed on the text field used as the editor, but the character typed is added to the editor.This set me thinking about a known issue in my app which I had shelved for a "rainy day": how to get the caret into the cell editor component. I thought I'd get it out and look at it. I tried the following, in my custom cell editor:
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,
                                             int row, int column)
    JTextField ec = (JTextField) editorComponent;
    ec.setText((String) value);
    if ("".equals(ec.getText()))
      ec.setCaretPosition(0);
    else
      ec.selectAll();
    return editorComponent;
}But it has no effect whatsoever, the user still can't type something in and then press the backspace key to useful effect. Has anyone out there solved this problem? (And why, oh why, is the caret not put into the cell editor by default, if it's a component that has a caret?)

Replying to my own post, in case what I ended up with is of some help to others. The desired behaviour was that anything the cell contained from the previous edit would be replaced by what the user types in the current edit, i.e.:
user starts edit, types 234, stops editing, cell displays 234...user single-clicks on cell, types 567, stops editing, cell displays 567
My code is as follows:
    public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
                                                 boolean isSelected, int row,
                                                 int column)
      final JTextField ec = (JTextField) editorComponent;
      ec.setText((String) value);
      // selectAll, so that whatever the user types replaces what we just put there
      ec.selectAll();
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
        public void run()
          // make the component take the keyboard focus, so the backspace key works
          ec.requestFocus();
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
            public void run()
              // at this point the user has typed something into the cell and we
              // want the caret to be AFTER that character, so that the next one
              // comes in on the RHS
              ec.setCaretPosition(ec.getText().length());
      return editorComponent;
    }

Changes in Texts in custom editor not getting saved in QM02 tcode

Hi Expert,
I am working on a screen exit in QM01. I have created a editor box(like the description box under Description tab in QM01) using class cl_gui_custom_container and cl_gui_textedit. I am able to create and display the text I type in the box alongwith other standard changes but if I try to change and save the text only in the custom text box, it is not getting saved. I debugged and found out that the standard does not recognize any change in the custom controller box.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance,
Sangeeta.

Hi Sangeeta,
After doing changes which method are you using to capture the text in the text editor ?
There is a method GET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE in class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT . in that pass 'X' to ONLY_WHEN_MODIFIED parameter,
Hope these may resolve your issue.
Regards,
Kumar M.

WPC - Custom Editor Components - How to...?

Hello,
I'm trying to create my own Editor Component in Web Page Composer for which I followed this Tutorial:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7157
I get through it but in the end it doesn't work.
Obviously i have to create an entry in "Editor UI Elements" for my new Component?!
I created an entry with a default-Control and my Component shows in the WPC-Editor but obviously looks like the default-Control I've chosen.
I would like to create my own UI-Element for my custom component but until now I weren't able to do so.
The default Controls (e.g. TextElementControl) are in the package "com.sap.nw.wpc.editor.ui" which I also can't find.
Can anyone help me with this?
Anyone of you were able to create his/her own Editor Component?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,

You need to break your frame into MVC classes,
- do all the loading of data in the model classes (eg, load pictures from files, etc).
- Create the view classes (the Swing components) only after you have created & loaded the models.
- Then everything should already be loaded before you display the frame.
If you want to see a more elegant solution that uses asynchronous model loading, then check out this sample application:

JComboBox custom editor and model

I'd like to implement a custom JComboBox that uses application's arbitrary text field as its editor. Below is a first trial but it is dead on birth. Specifically, two action listeners for the text field do not work let alone do accumulating edited items on the combo box. What could be my foolish errors?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalComboBoxEditor;

Vector<String> items;
CustomComboBoxModel model;
JTextField tfield;
CustomComboBoxEditor editor;
public EditableComboBox(Vector<String> vec, JTextField tf){
    items = vec;
    model = new CustomComboBoxModel(items);
    setModel(model);
    tfield = tf;
    editor = new CustomComboBoxEditor(tfield);
    setEditor(editor);
    setEditable(true);
    tfield.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
        handleEditedItem();
void handleEditedItem(){
    String s = tfield.getText();
    if (s.length() > 0 && ! model.hasElement(s)){
      model.addElement(s); // add new element
class CustomComboBoxModel extends DefaultComboBoxModel{
    public CustomComboBoxModel(Vector<String> vec){
      super(vec);
    // like to add it to head, not to tail
    public void addElement(Object o){
      insertElementAt(o, 0);
    public boolean hasElement(Object o){
      int size = getSize();
      int idx = getIndexOf(o);
      return (idx > -1 && idx < size);
class CustomComboBoxEditor extends MetalComboBoxEditor{

    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

This is the final or provisional production version based on Michael's first solution. I find the class is much more useful when the handleEditedItem() method can be called from the application because the application can control the behavior.

Dreamweaver as custom editor for other file extensions

So, I'm working on a project that requires me to work on some
files with non-standard extensions. Namely, I have some text files
that have a .cm extension, and I have some code files which have no
extension at all. I am connecting to my file store via an FTP
"site" set up in Dreamweaver.
Under preferences->filetypes/editors, I set up ". .cm" for
those two cases, and had selected "Dreamweaver" as the primary
editor.
The files open just fine, and I'm able to edit and save them,
and when I do, the files get "PUT" back up to the FTP server as I
want. However, what I've noticed is that the first time I edit one
of those types of files, and save it, now, from then on in that
session of Dreamweaver, any time I de-focus the window and then
come back to it, the IDE initiates another PUT action of the files
in question, even if the files are unchanged.
However, if I go back into preferences, and remove the
"Dreamweaver" as the primary editor for those two extensions, and
leave that list blank, Dreamweaver still is able to open up the
files as I want, but this weirdness with FTP putting and the
window-focus goes away.
Anyone have any idea why?

This TechNote explains how to add file extensions to be
recognized by DW.

Unfortunately, DW does not handle file with no file extension
very well.

INline custom editor for spark column

Here is quick column definition:
<s:GridColumn dataField="label1" headerText="Order #" editable="true">
                    <s:itemEditor>
                        <fx:Component>
                            <s:GridItemEditor>
                                <s:TextArea/>
                            </s:GridItemEditor>
                        </fx:Component>
                    </s:itemEditor>
                </s:GridColumn>
It will fail at the run time:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Am I doing it wrong?

Yes. Unlike MX, Spark Controls don’t carry the weight of also being drop-in item renderers and editors. You will need to build up your editor based on the GridItemEditor class.

Creating a Custom SAPscript Editor

I am trying to create a custom SAPscript editor and I'm having problems. We are on SAP 640.
We use texts to store notes against invoices recording details of the dunning process. Our users have ask if we can tailor the notes so that users can insert new notes against an invoice but not update or delete old notes. I have tried to do this by creating a custom editor EDIT_TEXT_FORMAT_XXXXX where XXXXX is ZGTENO a text format that has been set up against text object BELEG. Unfortunately the new module is never called.
For most text objects SAP picks up the text format and moves it into the SAPscript header and this field in the SAPscript header is used to call the custom editor. For example in program sapfv45t include FV45TFDB_TTXER_SELECT_CREDM text format is in gt_tdtexttype or lv_tdtexttype one of these fields is then moved into the SAPscript header field xthead-tdtexttype which is used in function group STXD function module EDIT_TEXT (the field is in chead-tdtextline) to decide whether to call the standard editor (function FULL_SCREEN_NEW) or a custom editor but for text object BELEG it gets the text format but never moves it to the SAPscript header (for example see program sapfv45t include FV45TFDB_TTXER_SELECT_BELEG it gets the text format in lv_tdtexttype but doesn't move it to xthead-tdtexttype so it can't be used to call a custom editor) so it looks as if a custom editor cannot be used with text object BELEG, is this correct or am I missing something?
I can see my new text format ZGTENO being picked up in the debugger but because it isn't moved into the SAPscript header it doesn't call my function module, it always calls the standard editor.

JTable custom cell editor focus problem

Hi I have created a JTable (using Java 1.4.2) and have three cell Editors, one is a JFormattedTextField, one is a JComboBox and one is a custom cell editor.
When I press tab I can select the cell with the JFormattedTextField and when I start typing the JFormattedTextField accepts my input and it is displayed in the cell. This is the type of behaviour I would like but it does not seem to work for my other 2 cell editors:
When I tab to the JComboBox cell I can see that the cell is selected but typing or using the arrow keys does not allow me to select a new value in the JComboBox. (I have also tried typing space or enter to activate the JComboBox whilst the cell is selected.) The only ways to select a new value at the moment is to first click on the cell with the mouse and then use the keyboard to select a new value. It is like the actual JComboBox is not receiving the focus? Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
I also seem to have the same problem with my custom cell editor. My custom editor is a JPanel which contains JFormattedTextField again I can tab to the cell and see that it is selected but to activate the JFormattedTextField I have to actually select it with the mouse.
I have been stuck on this for some time so if any one has any suggestions they would be much appreciated !
