Retaining tab functionality in JTextArea

Hi,
How to ensure that from inside a text area, tab key leads to the next focussable component?
In my application, when tab pressed inside a text area, focus doesnt go to the next component. Tab is printed in the text area instead. I do not want this.
TIA,
CA

override the isManagingFocus method:
JTextAreea textArea = new JTextArea( "one two", 3, 15 )
public boolean isManagingFocus()
return false;
};

Tab Function in Pages for iPad moved?

Was using pages for ipad today, and I used to use a tab function from the top menu bar by hitting a button that looks like an align button and it allowed for page breaks and tab functions.
I think I updated pages, and now I have to hold down as if I were to select a word or words, use the insert function, and then get to Tab/Page Break.
Is there a way to change this preference? It was so much easier the with the menu bar button!
Thanks,
Nate

I am trying to create a simple table, with varying column widths, eg Year Month Day Description. After going through the very limited options in Pages and doing plenty of Googling I have come to the conclusion that Apple doesn't allow you to have varying column widths in a single table :-( So I tried to create a custom table by using tabs, ie Year <hold, insert, tab> Month <hold, insert, tab hold, insert, tab> Day <hold, insert, tab> Description = 4 tabs = 12 steps :-( A Tab button on the keyboard would've been great, but the Ipad keyboard doesn't have one :-( neither do they allow me to customize my keyboard :-( I found software that seems to be able to do what I need but Apple says I'm not allowed to purchase the software in my country :-(

TAB functionality in a custom screen.

Hi,
   I need to develop a screen where in it contains table controls, different push buttons and Input output fields. One of the button is TAB. This tab button should function as a TAB functionality in the keyboard. Meaning whenever I click on this it should take me from one button to another button and when cursor is in table control it should take from one column to another column. Suppose if cursor is on fields (Input/Output fields) then it should take from one field to another field.
Cursor on Fields:
I have tried with Set cursor and increasing the counter and again using the set cursor to place on the counter(next) field. But this is not working. I have different types of fields meaning some Char, Int, Currency. Among these I need to move cursor.

Hi Malla,
         Thanks!
         I was doing the same , but I was passing the value of the field instead name of the field for the SET CURSOR. To scroll the tabs between the diff push buttons i am assigning the functional key to each push buttons whihc has a facility in the 3rd party tool.

Dock and command tab function

my dock mysteriously has disappeared and will not show up on the bottom of my screen. my command tab function to move between applications does not work either. i just installed the latest update for mac os but it hasn't fixed the problem. any advice?

Start by running the two basic checks provided by Disk Utility's "First Aid" tab to make sure the file system & system permissions are OK. (You can ignore SUID warnings in the permissions check.)
If that doesn't turn up anything, try creating a new user account for testing purposes. If the problem goes away in the new account on its first login, it implies some user preference file is corrupted or an incompatible or corrupted login item is present in your normal account.
If that turns up nothing, try Mac OS X: starting up in Safe Mode, then log into your normal account. If the problem disappears it implies something mentioned here is or was the culprit. (Some problems are fixed by a safe boot, others require more work.)
If any of these steps reveals a problem, don't go to the next one until it is resolved. If you need more help determining what to do about any revealed problem, please post a description of it & list any steps you have already taken that had no effect. If you can resolve the problem, please post a description of what you did as well. (Others will benefit from your experience, good or bad.)

Why no Alt-Tab functionality (true last active, not just up or down the line)?

I see the keyboard shortcuts for moving up and down the open tabs (ctrl-shift-tab and ctrl-tab) and the go direct to a numbered tab etc...
what I really want is a last tab function that if pressed repeatedly would simply take you back and forth between the last two tabs. Such that if I have 8 tabs open and am presently on tab 7 and then switch to tab 4, then I press this keyboard shortcut it would take me directly back to 7. If pressed again it would go back to 4. etc.
Take filling out a tax form or something as an example. I've got my browser open, several pages on tax help, tax code, and the like along with one with my paystub info and one that I am entering data into. I repeatedly need to bounce back and forth between the tab with the info on it (paystub) and the tab with the data entry on it.
I suppose one could workaround by only having the two desired tabs open in the browser window or by having two browser windows open with each needed page, but this is such ingrained function (alt-tab in windows goes directly between your last two open applications no matter how many you have open) that it just seems very natural to want browser tabs to only go back and forth between the last two as well.
really think this should be developed...seems simple (from an uneducated POV) and serves a definite purpose.
thanks.

Thanks, that works great.
FYI I came across that several times, however none of them made it clear that the desired behavior was understood and that this was the actual fix for it.
Thanks again and for those wondering - this does actually make ctrl-tab behave as normal windows alt-tab does....can't believe I've gone so long without this frustrated by every time I hit alt tab wanting to change tabs and changing applications instead.
this is great...thanks firefox (still think this should be default instead of the climb up and down the open list of tabs)

Recently the close tab function in safari has disappeared.

Recently the close tab function in safari has disappeared and now I have to close tabs by right clicking, needless to say it's driving me mad. Is there a way I can sort this out?

My Safari tabs were missing the "x" close button as well.
What ended up working for me was ->Force Quit->Safari.
I noticed quitting Safari from the Dock does not completely close it out, and from the Safari->Quit Safari menu option is grayed out. Force quit seemed to be the only way to end it.

Disabling tab functionality in a field

Dear all,
How do you disable tab functionality in a field in sap b1 2005? I would just like to have a formatted search on the field.
Regards,
Monil

Hi Monil
Is this at row level? If so, then set it as visible but not active in the Form settings. If it is a header field, then consider that the TAB is to validate a field and changing standard SAP logic is not advisable. Some more information on the exact field type will help me guide you better.
Kind regards

To make TAB out of JTextArea

Hi,
I found someone post the following code inthe forum. It supposes
to trap the tab key and move the focus to the next component, instead
of having the tab in the JTextArea. I got it complied okay, but I
received exception when executing:
java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.swing.KeyStroke
at java.util.TreeMap.compare(TreeMap.java:1081)
at java.util.TreeMap.put(TreeMap.java:459)
at java.util.TreeSet.add(TreeSet.java:205)
The exeception is from the 3rd line of the codes.
Please help!!!
Pin
Codes...
Set forwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('\t'));
forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB,
InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys
(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
forwardTraversalKeys);
Set backwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB,

textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys( KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, backwardTraversalKeys);

Sorry about my last post. I just cut and pasted some code from an example that uses a background image in the text area and should have deleted the paintComponent() method. Here is the complete code in case you want to try again. This works in JDK1.3. I know focus management has changed in JDK1.4, but you don't mention which version you are using.

                    Point p = scrollPane.getViewport().getViewPosition();
                    g.drawImage(image.getImage(), p.x, p.y, null);
                    super.paintComponent(g);
               // the tab character is not inserted into the text area
               public boolean isManagingFocus()
                    return false;
          textArea.setOpaque(false);
          textArea.setFont( new Font("monospaced", Font.PLAIN, 12) );
          textArea.setLineWrap( true );

Password protecting one tab on a tab function

Hi,
I am trying to place password protection on one tab of a tab function. Can anyone help me with this?
Many thanks,
Cooky

There are many ways to do this. Another possibility would be to enable/disable the secret tab depending on the state of a password.
In the attached simple demo (LabVIEW 7.0), the third tab is disabled unless the correct password is entered. If there is no activity for one minute, the secret tab will automatically be disabled once again.
(Of course the password could be also obtained using a password dialog after pressing a button named "Administrator Login" for example. In a real world example, you might also want to encrypt the password strings or use a more advanced authentication algorithm.)

Where is the bookmark all tabs function?

I recently updated from a very early version of FF to 13.0.1 and the bookmark all tabs in the Bookmarks menu is gone. I always use that function so i desperately need it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

The "Bookmark All Tabs Function" didn't dissapear. It was... NEEDLESSLY REMOVED by some very unwise and unthinking individuals.
There is No RATIONAL Reason to do away with a highly useful function that MILLIONS of Firefox users ALREADY Knew How to Find, and WERE ALREADY USING, without ever having to think about it. !
Anyone New to Firefox will (logically) look under "Bookmarks "on the "Menu Bar " for... Things that Relate to Bookmarks. This ORIGINAL Layout was... Simple, Logical, Obvious, Intuitive, and Easy to Find !
Switching to Control+Shift+D is... NOT Simple, or Logical, or Obvious, or Intuitive. AND, I had to... WASTE CONSIDERABLE TIME trying to Find how to get the functionally that was in Firefox... From The Beginning, and Used By Millions of Users.
I trade stocks online (daily) and I USE a "Screen Capture" app Multiple Times a Day, Which ALSO USES Control+Shift+D to make a Screen Capture. So, when I Need to Save Multiple Tabs, I now have to shut the screen capture app down, do the Control+Shift+D, and then open the screen capture app again.
All of this because the people at Firefox have become Downright COMPULSIVE about FORCING... NEEDLESS, CONFUSING, Un-Thinking, Mindless, and Destructive changes to the Layout and Functionality of the platform that causes MILLIONS of Users to... WASTE MILLIONS of MAN Hours to try to figure out how to use something that... They Already Knew How to Use !
In searching for a solution to this Needless Problem, I ran across a forum where people were Needlessly searching for a solution to this Man Made Problem, the "Moderator" gives the Control+Shift+D "Solution", Offers No Rational for the Needless Change, and then gos on to say that He Will Be GLAD when this functionality is... REMOVED COMPLETELY !
I assume that the management at Firefox would like to have their browser as widely accepted and used by "Enterprise" as possible. If so, this sort of un-thinking Change just for the sake of change, needs to... Stop.
I have run two national companies, and I can assure you that I would Go To Considerable Lengths to AVOID Any Software that my company would have to PAY employees to stop constructive work just to constantly Re-Learn how to use the software, not to mention Endless Updates and Bug Fixes. There can be very large sums of money involved in such Avoidable Wastes of Productivity. These are some of the reasons why companies go so long before "updating" to new Microsoft releases, whose stock has been flat for yhe last 10 years. ( and is now facing some Real Competion.)
The Firefox people are always pushing updates, which are good for security reasons, but the unending changes to the GUI and the Functionality are Not Appreciated. They are despised for very real and rational reasons.
If you will through your own forums, and do a few web searches, you will find that users around the world have gone from looking forward to Firefox updatees (in the early releases), to avoiding them like the plague, or switching to other browsers completely.
Someone once said: "If it ain't Broke, Don't Fix it."
Someone else said: "The only thing worse than Being Wrong, is... Staying Wrong."
I'm saying that if you find that you have shot yourself in the foot...
1. Stop Shooting... IMMEDIATELY !
2. FIX Your Foot
3. Take SERIOUS MEASURES to Make Certain that You DON'T... Shoot Yourself in the Foot Again !
Give the users a Firefox that they are Comefortable With and don't have to Constantly Mess With, and you will be will on your way to wide Acceptance, and Loyalty by everyone, including the "enterprise" world.
Leave the "tweaks" alone. These can be supplied by your Ad-on community, and the users will either accept them or not. The Customer is always right.
NEVER, EVER, EVER, REMOVE a FUNCTIONALITY Unless it is a SECURITY THREAT ! You WILL Make a LOT of People Mad if you do, and you will Destroy what Loyalty that hasn't already been lost.

What happened to the "bookmark this group of tabs" function?

Firefox 6.0 doesn't have a "bookmark this group of tabs" function on the bookmarks menu. What happened to it? Can it still be done? How? This is progress???

Thanks. Is it me, or is this completely counterintuitive? I expect the tab context menu to have stuff that applies to a particular tab, and the Bookmarks menu to contain functions concerned with bookmarks globally.

Removing tab functionality

Hi all,
Is there a way to remove the tabbing functionality in Captivate? I'm talking about the yellow highlights.
Any advice much appreciated!
Thanks,
Mark

I get the same issue on MAIN-14.67
It works properly for unsplitting normal object viewing tabs, but for SQLWorksheet tabs it freezes SQL Developer for a few minutes and eventually returns SQL Worksheet with a gray page that can no longer be used for anything.
I can then close that SQLWorksheet tab, and continue working as normal.
