Robot class and positioning the cursor

I have an application where I have a number of panels on the screen and using an editable field wish to enter coordinates to position the Cursor to on another panel.
ie, using grid coordinates on a map. Using the robot class I am able to position the cursor on the other panel but as soon as I move the mouse the cursor jumps back to the original position on the screen where the first panel with the editable field was. It is like only a picture of the cursor was drawn at the new coordinates and the real cursor is still at the old podition. It is important to this application that if the cursor is moved it stays where it has been moved to and actually is there and not just appearing to be there. I am using jdk 1.3 on Intel Solaris 2.8. Any help on this issue would be helpful and appreciated

Maybe you can use the mouse move event to position the mouse to where you had moved the cursor to.
for example
1.the mouse is at point 100,100
2. you move the cursor from your code to point 0,0
3. the user starts to move the mouse
4. you code gets that event and repositions the cursor to the last place where it was, that is at 0,0

How to highlight a line in a text stream and position the cursor at the end.

I would like to select a line in a text control data stream, highlight the text, and place the cursor at the end of the line so that the text control can be edited at that point.

Depends on what you mean by "highlight". If you mean highlight in the sense of when you use the mouse to select text, then you can't do that and then place the cursor at the end, since that would effectively "unhighlight" the text. You need to use a different kind of "highlight", like turning the text bold or something. This KB article talks about highlighting particular characters: How Do I Highlight Particular Characters in a String Control?

Photoshop CS5 - Control and navigate the cursor position automatically

Hello
I wonder if it’s possible with Photoshop CS5 (OS: Win7) to control and navigate the cursor position automatically?
Given: I have individual image coordinates for a set of locations.
Wanted: A possibility to position the cursor sequentially at those image location by the means of an external script or procedure.
Any ideas if that is possible with CS5?
Thanks for any help.
Lars

As far as I can tell with regard to a Photoshop Scripting approach: No.
Creating a Selection of certain dimensions and a certain position would be possible, though.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?

How to position the cursor in a text

I there a better way to position the cursor in a text portion other than trying it several times until the OS picks the right space? I know the iPad has a good way to do it by zooming in.
Or is RIM working on it.....

I've been pretty successful at getting the cursor to hit where I want in text entry boxes.
Maybe some more practice will make perfect. Worked for me, until I got used to,and then again maybe my using a touchscreen smartphone, the process just comes second nature for me.

How to position the cursor at the end of the text with EDIT_TEXT?

Hello, it wanted to ask to them if somebody could make work the module of function EDIT_TEXT so that it positions the cursor at the end of the text that is visualizing in the text editor. In the documentation it says that passing a ' X' to him in the field scrollend of the parameter Control is obtained that operation. Nevertheless, I did this and the cursor continues appearing at the beginning of the text that visualizes.
Somebody could help me please?

Murugesh,
I believe that you have mis-read Gabriel's problem.
Gabriel,
The cursor is not positioning at the base of the editor as you have cited.
In order to get this functionality to work, you must set the LINE_EDITOR import paramter to 'X'.

Why is my BDC_CURSOR command not working to position the cursor?

Why is my BDC_CURSOR command not working to position the cursor? Here are the details regarding my issue.
I am writing a BDC to mass delete routing material assignments using transaction CA02. I am OK to navigate through the initial screen to go to the Header screen and from here I am OK to navigate to the Material Assignments screen. But once here, I cannot get the BDC_CURSOR command to take me into the list. Here are the commands I am using. Please let me know what I may try differently.
CA02 Material Assignment - Set position <-- this resets list of materials to correct position
PERFORM bdc_dynpro      USING 'SAPLCZDI'   '1010'.
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_CURSOR' 'RC27X-ENTRY_ACT'.
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_OKCODE'   '=ENT1'.
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'RC27X-ENTRY_ACT' c_position.
CA02 Material Assignment - Delete
PERFORM bdc_dynpro      USING 'SAPLCZDI'   '1010'.
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_CURSOR' 'MAPL-MATNR(01)'.    <-- this is not working to set the cursor into the list
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_OKCODE' '=LOE'.             " trash can
PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'RC27X-ENTRY_ACT' c_position.

PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'RC27X-ENTRY_ACT' c_position.

Thank you for your reply.
I had used SM35 to record. However, I was not aware of the "create program" feature. I had commented out a section from my previous post which I have now added back (latest code below). But it still did not resolve the issue.
When I execute with dismode = 'N', I get back error message "No batch input data for screen SAPLCZDI 1010".
When I execute with dismode = 'E' (only show dynpros when error), it stops at the material selection screen without placing my cursor in the list. I can then MANUALLY click to set the cursor position in the list, MANUALLY click the trashcan, it then uses my BDC command to respond to the popup asking "Do you want to delete", still leaving me at the material selection screen. I can then MANUALLY click the green check (or enter), then it continues with the BDC to go back to the previous screen, and saves. But it still will not place my cursor in the material selection list (SAPLCZDI screen 1010).
Here is code used. It is the second section of code labeled "CA02 Material Assignment - Delete" that is not working.
CA02 Material Assignment - Set position
this code functions to position the desired material to first in screen list

How to position the cursor in File Name area in JFileChooser??

Hi,
I have been trying to position the cursor directly to filename area in JFileChooser. But no success.
It positions itself at the directory path by default.
How should I achieve this?
The problem is that I do not know the name of this
component used for File Name area hence difficult to
use "requestFocus() or getFocus()" like methods.
Thanks for your help.
-Manoj

Somewhere I saw a tip that explained how to do it, but I didn't keep a link to it. But basically it's like this: JFileChooser is a Container, so getComponent(n) will return the n-th component in the JFileChooser. One of them is the one you want to give the focus to, and I expect it will be a JTextField. A little experimentation should tell you which index you need to use.

Agent Assignment showing error "Please position the cursor correctly"

Hi Friends,
I have a strange problem that has come up suddently in the development client. The "Agent Assignment" which was happening earlier is not working anymore. Instead it is showing an information message "Please position the cursor correctly". I am doing the agent assignment the same way i used to do it earlier but its not happening. I tried changing the agent assignment for most of the task types including the "Activity" task, "Decision" task. But nothing seems to work....
The agent assignment is happening in Sandbox client but not in Development client.
Is it some BASIS side settings ?? What may be the exact cause ??
Please help.
Thanks,
Shashank Shirali

You do not have the proper authorization to do the agent Assignment. Take a SU53 dump and you will find our which authorization is missing and ask the Security folks to provide the authorization.
Thanks

Robot class and keystrokes

Can somebody help me? I have a 14000 plus line coded program. I need to generate software produced keystrokes. For example I would like to have my program hit the 'Enter' key instead of it being generated from the keyboard by a user. Now, I have just briefly been introduced to the Robot class and I am trying to understand it. I guess to use it I have to throw a AWTException. The problem is where I need to use the Robot class is in a JButton ActionListener(), which is on line 8000 nested in another frame. My question is how and where do I throw the AWTException in my program so that I can use the Robot class to generate an 'Enter' keystroke? I have noticed that in some sample programs the AWTException follows the opening
public static void main(String[] args) throws AWTException
statement. I tried attaching this in my program but the code nested in a AcitionListener did not recognize it.
What I am hoping is that I can throw the exception in the following format:
try
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keypressed(VK_ENTER);
catch (AWTException exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
This is just a format I made up to show what I am looking for it has no actual copyright.
I do not want to throw the AWTExecption for my whole program just this localized area when I need to have the software hit enter for me.
Anyway, this is my problem can you help me out
Derek.

I just figured the problem out myself, by just guessing believe it or not.
As follows :
try
Robot rob = new Robot():
rob.keyPressed(VK_ENTER);
catch(AWTException exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
It worked perfectly.

Position the cursor on an ENHANCEMENT statement .ED301

Hello Folks ,
I am changing an ENHANCEMENT and did a syntax check. the syntax check failed.
Editting is now locked out and when I place the cursor on the Enhancement statement and go to Edit > Enhancement Operations > Change Enhancement.
the "Position the cursor on an ENHANCEMENT statement" error statement appears even though the cursor was there.
I tried to "UNDO" the Enhancement So that I could put the correct code in. But,the same syntax error appears even though the bad code is not on the screen.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Hi Harel Gilor,
In that case you can delete/change that enhancement point by going to node Enhancements under your package name in SE80>Package>Enhacements.
Thanks & Regards,
Faheem.

Position the cursor in a JTextField

Hi !
I have an App with 10 JTextFields and I want to position the cursor from JTextField No.2 to JTextField No.8
Is there a possibility to tell the program that the cursor have to go to an other Component ?
Thank you. Wolfgang (KLD)

You'll want to check out
"grabFocus" in javax.swing.JComponent
For some additional niceties you may want to check out
"setFocusAccelerator" in javax.swing.text.JTextComponent
It provides automated ways to jump around components.

Lumia 800 - positioning the cursor

Hello Lumia fans,
while typing a text message - its very hard to position the cursor before or after a particular letter. instead it selects the whole word. its so annoying..
and how to copy the entire text message in d sms??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello @maninred,
-You can move the cursor in your text when it's blinking between the words by long-pressing it and then move your finger on the screen without lifting it.
-You can copy the text by choosing the first letter and then slide your finger to the last word and then by pressing the white clipboard icon.
