Multiple Text Area, Simultaneous Selection

Hi,
I've got two JTextArea in a SplitPane. Is it possible to select text in both JTextArea simultaneously ?
If it's possible how can I do it.
Thanks

sorry, I think my question was malformed.
I want to be able to select some text in TA1, then select some other text in TA2.
A JButton will launch an event that will use both selections.
Actually if I select text in TA1, and then select text in TA2, the selection from TA1 is lost.
Hope it's more clear now.
Thanks

Cannot select multiple text items simultaneously

Since upgrading to the latest Pages, I can no longer select multiple letters/words by holding down command. I used to use this to edit multiple things (titles, for example) all at once (make bold, underlined, italicized, larger font, coloured, etc.). Now, however, I have to select each letter/word one at a time and edit them individually.
Is this just a bug or is there a new way of selecting multiple text characters simultaneously for editing?
Thanks!

There is no fix by any means.
Switching from Word to Pages v5 (any release) is like giving up oxygen for a vacuum. The time that you will expend searching for feature/functionality omissions in Pages v5 that you had in MS Word will just suck the life out of you.

Select Multiple Text Areas

How can you select multiple (but separate) lines of text? In
most other programs shift lets you select from one point to
another, and control lets you pick different points within the text
body. Is dreamweaver capable of this?

DW only allows discontiguous selections for table cells and
position:absolute elements.

How to populate multiple text boxes by selecting a value from drop down

I apologize in advance if this is redundant, but I have searched this forum relentlessly to no avail. I have a form connected to an MS Access database. The database is linked to another datadase on an Advantage server. This is dynamic data that has an ODBC driver allowing to link access tables to the Advantage data. Macros on access updates the table being used on this form. The livecycle form connects to the access data via a DSN on a machine that uses acrobat (not reader). This is a physician office, this form should expedite ordering radiology tests on patients. The plan is to use a drop down to select a chart number that will trigger several text boxes to populate dynamically with the corresponding demographic values like name, age, insurance etc.
Using a data drop down I am able to select the chart number. When I used the example from the office supplies database, so that a button will trigger the event with the following code:
if (Len(Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue))) > 0) then
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.commandType = "text"
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.select.nodes.
item(0).value = Concat("Select * from OfficeSupplies Where ID = ", Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue)) ,"")
I recieve a syntax error, despite adjusting quotation since I am using text rather than numeric fields.
My question is the following:
Is there a simple javascript that I can use to populate these text boxes (which may be read only but would be better if it allows user input)? Or does anyone recommend an alternative method? I would be happy with a link that solves this problem if someone can provide. I am somewhat familiar with js but open to any suggesstion.
Thanks
PS this form could also be linked to a Sequel database if that offers an advantage.

The View object API has a setQurery() method that you can use to set the query as needed before executing it via executeQuery(). You can do this in a custom Application Module method exposed to its client interface and bound to the binding layer. You can call this method from your backing bean on a value change listener.

Typing text in multiple text boxes simultaneously

Is is possible or is there a way or a plugin that will allow me to type a number in one text box and it will appear on multiple other text boxes in the same document. My scenario is I am running 15-up business card type layouts and I am trying a add a job # to each of the backside of these 15 cards by typing it once. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Harbs,
Single line? I wouldn't expect a job number to be multi-line.
Unstyled? What makes you say that? Any style (including a nested one) applied to the section character placeholder on the master page would be used. I don't have experience in CS3, but I would like to believe that the text variables would behave the same way. From the behavior I've seen on the InDesigner videos, that is the case.
Something more complex, such as a multi-line thing, would naturally require a more complex solution. But, for the task as outlined in the original post, the suggestions should be sufficient. Based on John's response, whichever solution he used worked well enough.

Which event dispatched after text selection done on spark text area in Apple iPad using Adobe Flex 4

I need to know which event triggered after text selection done in Apple iPad. This way i have done in desktop air app code (mouse events)
protected function txtEditor_mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            if(txtEditor.selectionAnchorPosition != txtEditor.selectionActivePosition){
                showNoteToolBar(event);
                txtEditor.focusEnabled = true;
                txtEditor.setFocus();
But in Apple iPad how to achieve through "Touch Event" ? And also i need how to hide all context menu on Spaek TextArea?. Why Touch.End event is not fired after place cursor on text area ?
Please help me !

Ok, so I finally got it working but this is not ideal at all. Adobe really needs to give us some direction on how to properly deal with font embedding and TLF now that the release build breaks all functionality with loading runtime fonts and TLF.
Problem:
I am embedding collections of fonts (faces) into single family classes. Each individual face is registered with Font.registerFont(). I need to do this because I have to have mixed fonts within text flows - at least according to Alex H's recent blog post.
Fonts do not display in TLF without doing the following:
1. GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = null;
2. editor.textFlow.flowComposer.swfContext = ISWFContext(this.getFontContext("AnyFamilyNameFromAnyFontEmbedded", false, false, FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF));
3. Instead of #2, use editor.textFlow.invalidateAllFormats();
Either #2 or #3 need to be performed. If I have a spark richEditableText control in MXML with defined familes from the loaded fonts. I even tried placing the control into a separate state so it wasn't created until after the fonts were loaded... I still needed to invalidate the formats or set the context.
The "AnyFamilyNameFromAnyFontEmbedded" does not need to be all of the embedded family names. It only needs to be one of them. Once one is used, all embedded fonts work. Also, I have to use the internal namespace to even get access to getFontContext, another oddity that, in my humble opinion, should never be necessary to create mixed style TLF content.
My questions are then:
1. Why am I required to use ISWFContext if I am using Font.registerFont()?
2. Why is GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = null; also required for this to work?
3. What is the recommended workflow to embed fonts from multiple SWF files into the release build and have it work without having to jump through all these hoops?

Multiple text selections

Having made the transition from Word to ID CS4, one of the things I miss most is the ability to select multiple text instances (by holding down Ctrl as you select them with the mouse).
Or is this possible in ID CS4 via an alternative route?

Are you telling me it may be time to upgrade my copy of Word?
Actually, I think you're being mislead somewhat.
Let's be clear:
In Word 2003 and 2007, you can "mouse-select" text within multiple text boxes, (holding down Ctrl).
In Word as far back as I can remember, (and I'm not young), you could always hold down Alt while drag-selecting to make a vertical selection, (described earlier in this thread as selecting bullet characters only). Very handy when cleaning up someone else's tab disaster.
In Word, you CANNOT select dis-contiguous text that all resides on the same open page. At least I have yet to do it.
In ID, you indeed CAN Pick-Tool select multiple text frames and apply a single paragraph style to all.

Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer

I have connected TABULAR Model to Excel, and in the pivot the filter is on multiple dimensions. When doing the drillthrough action it gives error - Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer
Is there any workaround to this error? so that drillthrough can be done even with multiple selection.

Hi Vikas,
The reason behind the error message requires the knowledge on what happens at the backend. When you perform a drill-through action, a query is sent to Analysis Services. This query is expressed in a query language called Multi-Dimensional Expression (MDX).
Since the MDX language doesnot support drill-through command against a set (collection of tuples) an error is persisted.
For now, there is no workaround as it is a limitation of the underlying language that is generating the query.
When multiple items are selected you lose the ability to drill-down on individual metrics. To resolve you must either:
1. Select a single Item.
2. Select all items.
Hope this helps!
Please mark as Answer if this helps! Thanks, Rajasekhar.

You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.

How do I select multiple text in Pages

I'm using the newest version of pages.
In MS office WORD, I can hold the Ctrl key and with multiple klick in the text I can select multiple text.
Does pages has the similar function?

Not possible in Pages 5.2.2, this has been removed by Apple along with 110 features.
In Pages '09 you hold down the command key, the exact same equivalent as in Word for Windows.

How to tell if multiple files are selected when they are opened in windows

Hello, can someone help me, my question is how to tell if multiple file selections were made when they were opened (right-click->open). Through modifying the registry I already have my Java program start up when a file with specific extension is double-clicked.
The problem is when multiple files are opened at the same time, an instance of java program is created and run for each of the selected files. Ideally I would like it so that only one instance of java program is run, regardless of the number of selections.
When you try it with Microsoft media player or winamp for example, it seems that only one process is created and run (I don't see many processes spawning when I watch it using task manager). Maybe this is more of Windows issue rather than Java programming issue. Any help is appreciated.

If anybody wants to know, this can be solved by either 1) using DDE 2) using DropTarget (from Windows) 3) make a light-weight EXE dispatcher (eg. in C), and use file to have IPC between the dispatcher (which gets the filepath for each of the selections) and the java program. There can be other methods of course. Using the second option is the simplest but it requires WinXP and higher. I implemented it using option 3.. the downside of this is there's a warning message pop up when trying to open many (>20?) files at the same time by Windows. However, option 1 'seems' to have the same limitation. Having a java program created each time for each of the selections seems to be too slow, for viable option.

Text Area steals Focus from Text Field when selected with mouse

I have created a very simple form with 4 spry validation elements here :: http://octopusdesign.net/contactus.html
When I attempt to select the 'Your Email' text field using the mouse, focus is grabbed by the text area above it.
It is only possible to get focus on the 'Your Email' text field by using tab.
My best guess is that this is a bug in the framework.
In addition to updating my spry libraries to 1.6 from 1.4 I've tried the following things::
Reordering the elements in the form.
Creating the elements in a different order.
Replacing the validation elements with ordinary elements.
None of these fixed the problem.
Strangely, if I remove the validation text area there is no problem.
If anyone can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it.
Wisdom gratefully received.
Chris

Furthermore ::
I've tried to reconstruct the form from scratch and discovered that if you have a validation text field and a validation text area in any order on the form, selecting the 2nd element with the mouse always results in the first element stealing the focus.

SAP Query selection texts are missing

Dear All,
I have a problem with selection texts when running a query.
There are two systems: development and test. In the dev system selection texts are displayed correctly but in the test system I got only something like:
SP$00001

SP$00003
SP$00004
%LAYOUT
I also transported the User group, the Infoset and the Query but this did not help.
Please, advice.
Thanks in advance and regards

Just want to add that I searched the web to find solution and the only relevant item I found was:

Area for selecting text

Hello,
I am looking for something like a text area where text will be selected when clicked on it.
Suppose I have a lunchroom:
On my system I have a panel with several products that people can order.
When I click on a product, I want that in another part of the panel the price apears.
Is there such a component in Java?? If yes, can somebody tell me what the name of that component is please?
thanks,
Daniel

A javax.swing.JList will list items and highlight them when clicked. Also, if you use a javax.swing.event.ListSelectionListener you can detect when an item is clicked, and display the appropriate information elsewhere.
Look at this link for the JList tutorial:
