Please Help.JTable insert styled text

Hi all java guru,
on post http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=485469 i've depicted my scenario in which i have a JTable where i want to add styled text.
i've implemented a CustomTableModel that maintains information about text style, in such way that when renderer cell, i can rebuild exact text with its style....same method is adopted for CellEditor.
It is possible to have more than one JTable in my application....then to correctly handle all JTables ' put them in a vector and during editing and rendering i find current focusable/selected JTable and edit/render it.
Clearly i maintain information about style of text when i insert it, that is when i insert text, i update my CustomTableModel...same thing must be done when i delete text from JTable...that is, i must update CustomTableModel too in this case.
Because my CellEditor is a JEditorPane component (extend it) i've registered document associated to it to a DocumentListener that notify every time that a remove operation is happens.
What is the problem now???problem is that when i finish to edit a cell and click on another cell i've got a removeUpdate(DocumenEvent e) event, and i can't distinguish it.....it seems a real remove event....
In this case(when i change cell) the code that is executes returns wrong result and invalidate all the rest.
I think error is where i register celleditor , now i do it in CustomCellRenderer class that extend JEditorPane and implements TableCellRenderer.
Please help me...this is a great trouble that invalidate all my work :(
Any new idea is welcome.

Hi stanislav, of course i can...you're a myth :)
public class CustomCellEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {
     CellEditor cellArea;
     JTable table;
     public CustomCellEditor(JTable ta) {
          super();
          table = ta;
          // this component relies on having this renderer for the String class
          MultiLineCellRenderer renderer = new MultiLineCellRenderer();
          table.setDefaultRenderer(String.class,renderer);
     public Object getCellEditorValue() {
          return cellArea.getText();
     public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,     int row, int column) {
          int start = 0;
          int end = 0;
                                           // Get current selected table
          TableEditor tb = (TableEditor) TableEditor.getSelectedTable();
          TableModel model = (TableModel) tb.getModel();
          Vector fontInfo = model.getFontFor(row,column);
          CellEditor cellArea = (CellEditor) ((CustomCellEditor)tb.getCellEditor (row,column)).getCellEditor();
          Document doc = cellArea.getDocument();
          String content = tb.getValueAt(row,column).toString();
          if (doc!=null && fontInfo.size()>0 && !content.equals("")) {
                                                 // This method reads from model and get right style info
                                                 // for current text, and restore them
                                                 restoreFontWithAttributes(doc,fontInfo,content);
          else
               cellArea.setText(tb.getValueAt(row,column).toString());
          cellArea.rowEditing = row;
          cellArea.columnEditing = column;
          cellArea.lastPreferredHeight = cellArea.getPreferredSize().height;
          return cellArea;
      * @return
     public CellEditor getCellEditor() {
          return cellArea;
     public class CellEditor extends JEditorPane {
          private CellStyledEditorKit k;
          public CellEditor() {
                super("text/plain","");
                k = new CellStyledEditorKit();
                setEditorKit(k);
                // I tried to add document here, but i have had wrong behavior
               doc = new DocumentListener() {
               public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                  // Get current selected table
                  TableEditor tb = (TableEditor) TableEditor.getSelectedTable();
                  TableModel model = (TableModel) tb.getModel();
                  model.updateFontInfo();
               getDocument().addDocumentListener(doc);
}Ok, stan...this is my CustomCellRenderer class....as i have already said, i have some style text info mainteined by CustomTableModel associated with JTable.
I update CustomTableModel every time that an insert and remove operation happens.
If i add a DocumentListener to CellEditor (that rapresents editor cell of my table) happens that, if i remove some character from an editing cell, i got a removeUpdate event.....and this is right!!! But if i change cell (e.g. supposing editing cell(1,1), click on cell(2,1) then stop edit cell(1,1) and start edit cell(2,1)) i got a removeUpdate event, that I don't wait for to me..
Look at this:
empty cell | some text
cell 0 ------- cell1
supposing you're in cell1 and you have finished to insert "some text".Then click on cell0, that is empty....then document associated with CellArea(extend JEditorPane) before of the click on cell0 had some text, but after click have no text, then for it a removeUpdate is happens.....and is that one i got..
it's as if an unique document is associated to all cells, while should be one document for each cell (i hope this is right).
Clearly, i've same code for renderer, in such way that i can restore style of text on rendering.
Hope is clear....if U have any idea or suggestion please give to me.
Tnx a lot Stanislav..

Please help - simpleviewer slideshow and text link to start that slideshow

I have iweb 1.1.2
I have made a simpleviewer folder (done from a CS4 script on the simpleviewer website).
I don't like the horrible "start slideshow" button, and would rather have a text button/link (e.g., "start slideshow" in a font of my choosing) that begins the simpleviewer slideshow, not the default iweb slide show.
Can anybody teach me how to do this in very simple english, like you're talking to a 5 year old, because that is the intellect of my web experience?
Thanks so much.

Anyone? Please help?

Please Help: Automator to get text from Safari Reader into Text file

Hello All,
I was hoping that someone will be able to help me.
I would like for automator to obtain article text from a website without me having to manually cut and paste it.
I tried to put together a workflow to get text from webpage, but it unfortunatley get some information that I don't want for eg. Menu Bar Titles and additional links etc. What would be ideal is if I could only extract the data that shows when I use the Safari Reader function. I have tried a jave Readability Script, but this also extract the same information. Is there anyway someone could please kindly help me out with a nice Applescript or something?
If there is no way to do this, there could be another solution around this... if there was a way I could use automator to delete the first and last 10 lines of the text document.
Again, any help will be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
VicandMeliJvR

Hi David,
Thank you for your feedback. I would be happy to use a screen capture program, but Quicktime X seems to only allow me to record audio and record the video separately. I will do this as a last resort, but it's a big pain to try to line up the video audio.
Thank you! I will definitely do this if nothing else works.

[JS, CS3] Please help--need to search text & then insert at find

Hi all,
I have a nifty script that I use to make stacked fractions by inserting an inline textframe. It has a dialog which allows you to enter the numerator and denominator.
Now I would like to modify this script to automatically search for fractions within text (for example, 5/16) and replace that fraction with my inserted textframe.
The problem is I cannot figure out how to search for the word containing the slash character and then get the insertion point so I can add my textframe as an inline. Once I find the word with the slash (the fraction), I think I can split the contents of the fraction at the slash to get the numerator & denominator. Just cannot pop that textframe in there at that point and replace the word.
Have I made this clear enough for anyone who might be able to help?
Regards,
Len Swierski

Hi Len,
You just sent me on a trip down memory lane. I wrote about this very issue very soon after CS hit the street with JavaScript for the first time. On this page:
http://www.pdsassoc.com/index.php?Nav=javassub&Ban=SettingFractions&Info=jstutorials/Setti ngFractions/index.html
you'll find what I think is a relevant discussion. I required the user to select a slash but that's where you'll be after your script has found a slash. Hope this helps. I was perhaps a tad pedantic on that page but it was all very new at the time.

Could you please help me recreate this text effect?

Hey guys,
thank you very much for clicking on my question
I need some help in figuring out how to do the text effect at the end of this short commercial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQrxfBOo_Mo
what i'm going for is for it to say:
WE (stationary) and then a bunch of lines here next to we scrolling really fast before stopping on
score the goals
so a we on the left, with scrolling one-liners like "we score goals" "we make the tackles" etc scrolling on the right next to the "We"
any ideas?

Very simple stuff. You just can't do it with one layer.
Set up you text with each statement on a separate layer, then simply animate the position of the text. You can set up that animation with the transformation properties or with text animators. There's information on both methods in the help files.
Let me know if you need more help...

Chester31,
Thank you very much for sharing your file with us! Now that we are able to reproduce the problem at our end, you may stop sharing the file on Acrobat.com.
Do you know when this problem (for not being able to add new highlight/strikeout/underline) has started? Did you update your iOS from 7.x to 8.0 recently?
We will continue investigating the problem and let you know what we find.
Thank you again for your help.

2. [first] The problem is within the application; I wasn't trying while in a browser.
3. There is no response upon clicking buttons, which prompted me to search for quite a long time in an attempt to find some "help," in case I was somehow performing the action incorrectly. [The Reader "Help" is in name only on this subject, but I can now see why...].
1. [eureka] When I read your question #1 and began considering the possibility of corruption or something (the ever-lurking gremlins?) I realized that I was working with a PDF from a scan, and that that was probably the issue. I immediately opened one saved from a website and it worked perfectly and as expected. I opened a different scan-to-PDF and got the same original trouble.
I'm glad one can still draw circles and attach sticky notes....
Thanks again!

Can't Highlight ANY text, please help.

I can't highlight any text in any application. I can't drag my mouse to highlight, and when I press Ctrl+A it only highlights pictures and links on a web page.
Please help, I need to be ably to copy text for my work and I can't even select it.

Trevor:
I would begin by starting up in Safe Mode, log in, and see if it works any better in terms of highlighting.
If not, then try Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior

Cut-off text. Please help me. Thank you.

Hello,
I published my site several weeks ago with no problems at all. Now, suddenly, text (rendered as images) throughout the site is being cut-off, sometimes to the point of invisibility.
my site can be found at: http://www.milescollyer.com/
(I can provide screen shots of how it appears in iWeb versus Safari if needed)
I have tried almost everything that I can think of including:
-increasing the size of text boxes to a generous size
-increasing/decreasing the size of the font
-moving the text boxes up and down slightly in an attempt to fully reveal the text
-deleting and remaking text boxes
I have been reviewing this forum for days looking for help with this problem. I am at a loss of what more I can do. PLEASE help.
Thank you,
-miles

I noticed there are also diamond symbols with ? in them which are showing up too. Are you creating your text links within iweb and then using the inspector to link them to other pages? I have seen this type of problem when putting in forms, but never with text links. One way around this might be to link the text box instead of the text to other pages. for example, when you highlight the text and go to the inspector then enable as a link simply do the same but dont highlight the text just select the text box. Try it on a few and republish, its worth a try. You also might want to try this first, do a publish all rather than just publish. To do this go to file and select publish all to .mac. Sometimes this is an easy fix to weird problems. Your site looks nice and I hope you can get it up and running. Good luck.

Highlighter has not been working in Adobe reader in my samsung Galaxy Tab 3. Can you please help?

Update to comment - I found this thread that is related:
Did Adobe Acrobat Reader revert to this bad and nonintuitive way to highlight text? The highlight approach described in this thread - to select text with handles - does work, but it is truly slow and clumsy.

Text Box Dashed. Can't edit text. Please Help!

InDesign CS4
I made a catalog a couple months ago and when I opened it up to work on it again all my text boxes have a dashed outline when selected. I can select the box, but when I switch to the text tool and click it is unselected and I can't edit the text. When I try to highlight the text the text tool just makes a new text box (with normal outline). I can add new text in new text boxes. All the catalog pages are different files and the problem is the same when opening any page which makes me feel like its some setting in the actual program rather then the files themselves. Nothing is locked as far as I can tell and overriding all master page items doesn't help either. Somebody please help. Thank you!

Sounds like your text frames are on the master page.

My Do Not Disturb setting is ON and I am still receiving calls and text notifications... PLEASE HELP!

Help - I have my DND setting ON - yet I am still receiving all notifications, texts, and phone calls from numbers other than my favorites. Please help! Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
I have an iphone4, maybe that is the reason?

Had the same question....thanks for the concise and useful answer. Half-as**ed implementation IMO....is it that hard to imagine not wanting to be disturbed while still using the device? I use my iPad for note taking at work all the time....don't need Order and Chaos bells going off at that time. Seems obvious, but *** do I know.

Please help me highlight my text!
