SelectAll() on a (custom) formatted text field

Hi everybody,
I have a JFormattedTextField to which I have set two separate formatters one for edit and one for display.
I would like to selectAll() the text in the field anytime the field get the input focus.
I tried to set a foculistener, but did not work. I found in the forum I should not use the focuslistener, rather a requestFocus() + selectAll() but I don't know when to call the requestFocus...
Thanks in advance for your replies.

I hope you understand why "it worked fine". SwingUtilities.invokeLater is a cover method for EventQueue.invokeLater -- it places the execution of the Runnable's run method at the end of the queue.
Without that construct, your selectAll was cutting ahead of events already in the queue -- one of which was the actual transfer of focus to the text field, which by default (as you know) removes any pre-existing selection.
With the invokeLater, selectAll is placed at the end of the queue, and is invoked after the text field has already gained focus.

if :p3_note_id is null
then
insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

Formatted Text Field for getting Date

I need a text field to get Date. does anyone know where I can find such a thing?
all it needs to do is allow the user to type a date in dd/MM/yy format.
10x.

in a jtable it has a problem - when I press tab to exit the field the date is not changed.
i set the on focus lost behaviour to commit, but still not working.
also, it allows me to enter 4823749823/02/02 - and it translates it to the right format - I'm interested in something more fixed - allows to enter only 2 digits for day, 2 digits for month,2 digits for year.
the relevent code I'm using is:
// a cellEditor that uses a formatted text field that holds a Date object
public class JFormattedDateCellEditor extends DefaultCellEditor {
public JFormattedDateCellEditor(final JFormattedTextField textField) {
super(textField);
textField.setFocusLostBehavior(JFormattedTextField.COMMIT);
textField.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
textField.setFont(JUtility.theFont);
textField.setBorder(null);
textField.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
if (textField.getValue() == null) {
textField.requestFocus();
delegate = new EditorDelegate() {
public void setValue(Object value) {
textField.setValue((java.util.Date)value);
public Object getCellEditorValue() {
return textField.getValue();
//to set the cell editor:
column = collectionsTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(CollectionFrame_collectionsModel.DATE_COLUMN);
column.setCellEditor(
new JFormattedDateCellEditor(
new JFormattedTextField(
new DateFormatter(
new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy")))));

Need help formatting text field default value

Hello,
I've received a customer request to put default text into the Value section of a text field. They're requesting that the default text include line breaks, bullets, etc. I added a Text Field object and added the default text to the Object tab > Value tab Default field but can't figure out how to add line breaks, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Saskia

Hi,
this is possible but not doable with the UI of Designer.
The workaround is as follows:
1. Create a text, enter your default text with all the formattings you need (text color, bold text, line breaks etc.)
2. Create a text field and enter any word as default value. Let's say "Default".
3. Select the text and the switch to the XML Source view.
There you will find all the formatted text between the <value> tags such as:
<value>
 <exData contentType="text/html">
 <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">This is default Text • with RichText formatting.</body>
 </exData>
</value>
4. Select the whole code between the <value> tags and copy it to the clipboard (ctrl + c).
5. Go to the Design View, select the text field, go back to the XML Source view.
6. There you'll also find the value <tags> and your default value you entered before.
<value>
 <text>Default</text>
</value>
7. Select this code section and paste the value copied before to the clipboard by pressing ctrl + v.
8. That's it. When you now go back to the Design View your text field shows a formatted RichText as defaul text.

Customer Master Text Fields

Hello,
What tables and relations would be used to access the customer master sales data short and long text fields in an SQ01 query?
Thanks for your reply.

Hi,
I think KNVV would be the starting table and the text tables would be related to KNVV. When doing an F1 on the short and long text fields I get RTEXT-TTEXT and RTEXT-LTEXT but these can't be used in an SQ01 query.

Custom Metadata Text Field not working

Hi everyone-
I'm trying to create a Metadata layout the will be a template for all of the editors in my company. I've created a New Schema and added a few custom text fields. The problem is I can't add anything to the text fields, as they are greyed out and unusable (see far right in image). Any ideas of why this might be happening?
Thanks,
-Mark

Hey Jim-
I wanted to follow up on this with you. I ended up creating a "template" project for our filmers to use so we all log our footage the same way. I ended up using an existing schema and adding new, custom text fields. I did a few tests on my system and everything seemed to be working fine. Our filmers are now on a shoot and are beginning to log their footage with our "template". When they enter data in the custom text fields, they end up getting a crash about every 4-6 clips. When they reload their project, none of the logged files have saved in the bin. Any thoughts on why this is happening? Our filmers are using the new MBP.
One other note.. when they enter text into the "description" and other text fields that are not Custom Fields, everything seems to be OK.
Your help / insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Formatted Text Field

I have a text field that I want the user to be able to enter up to 4 numbers. I tried a mask formatter using the "####" format, but that forces the user to enter 4 numbers. I want them to be able to enter, 1,2,3 or 4 numbers.

Hi,
I've implemented number fields based on JFormattedTextField.
They also support a min and a max value.

Custom formatting text?

I some documents with custom formatting in them, for example if a sentence was:
This should be {red}color.
Then the world "color" should be red and the {red} should not appear.
Now my current way of doing this it though a JTextPane.
I do something like this (currently dont have the code with me so it may not be 100% accurate):
// Get our temp
String temp = this.getText ( );
// Get our pos
int pos = temp.indexOf ( "{red}" );
// Set the first half
this.setText ( temp.substring ( 0, pos ) );
// Set the second half
this.setText ( this.getText ( ) + temp.substring ( pos + 6, temp.length ( ) - pos - 6 );
styledDocument.setCharacterAttributes(pos, this.getText ( ).length ( ) - pow, styledDocument.getStyle ("Red" ), false);Is their any better ways to do this?
Can I automatically do like a
styledDocument.addReplace ( "{red}", styledDocument.getStyle ("Red" ) ); So that it will automatically know what to replace? Thanks for any help!

Can I automatically do like a styledDocument.addReplace ( "{red}",
styledDocument.getStyle ("Red" ) ); So that it will automatically know what to replace? No idea what you are asking. You can write you own method to do that if you want. But the StyledDocument can't do that for you.

Formatted Text Field Formats

I have a FormattedTextField where the user inputs a decimal value. It works just fine, until the user deselects the field. At this point, if the value is <1 with three leading zeros (i.e. 0.0001), the field displays 0. The correct value is obtained from the text field, and it displays just fine when it's being edited, but the output is inaccurate.
// I print via String valueOf to make sure the issue isn't at a String function, and it turns out okay
console.printConsole(String.valueOf(a3));
// I specify a formatter factory with my own object (defined below)
// Since I use the same formatter object for the display, input, edit params, I would
// think the way it is outputted wouldn't change across these, but it does
label3 = new JLabel("i power " + 3 + " coefficient");
field3 = new JFormattedTextField(new DefaultFormatterFactory(
new CalFormatter(),
new CalFormatter(),
new CalFormatter()));
// And I make sure there are enough columns to display the info
field3.setValue(new Double(a3));
field3.setColumns(10);
// My cal formatter object
class CalFormatter extends NumberFormatter{
public CalFormatter(){
super();
// I manually call the valueOf String function in case that's where the loss of accuracy originates
// ...no luck
public String valueToString(double number) throws ParseException {
return String.valueOf(number);

what happens when you switch the lines to do the following:
from this:
field3.setValue(new Double(a3));
field3.setColumns(10);
to this:
field3.setColumns(10);
field3.setValue(new Double(a3));
setColumns clears the field, so that may be your problem.
