Do i have to add something like import java.???
No, nothing starting with "java.*" will help you. There is no way you can do that using only what Java provides itself, you will need to use external libraries.
Chances are, you don't want to do this right now and forget about it, just write one line after another.
If it s not too long could you write me the code for <*set cursor position*>(x,y);Find, download, learn to use JCurses or a similar library and write it. If that sounds like a lot of work for such a "simple" functionality then yes: that is a lot of work for such a little thing.
It's generally not worth doing.

Did you try by iterating the selected row?
Bind the table with the managed bean and then try with below code:
RichTable empTable;
RowKeySet selectedEmps = getEmpTable().getSelectedRowKeys();
Iterator selectedEmpIter = selectedEmps.iterator();
DCBindingContainer bindings = (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
DCIteratorBinding empIter = bindings.findIteratorBinding("EmpView1Iterator");
RowSetIterator empRSIter = empIter.getRowSetIterator();
while(selectedEmpIter.hasNext()){
   Key key = (Key)((List)selectedEmpIter.next()).get(0);
   Row currentRow = empRSIter.getRow(key);
   System.out.println(currentRow.getAttribute("Ename"));

Problem when setting cursor position property

I'm trying to use property nodes to set the cursor position programmatically, following an arrow keypress. When my actual data file plotted, the position assignment doesn't work properly. If I clear the data from the graph (right click, clear graph), then the cursor responds properly. I've attached a zipped file with VI that demonstrates the problem. Sorry the file is large--I had to include my data file to properly demonstrate the problem.
Thanks for any advice that help me clear this up,
Allan

You can set the codes below :-

You can use the additions :- OFFSET off

I have made a Z Table Control where i have given vertical and horizontal scrolling . Now when I scroll and try to select a row, then ZTABLE_CONTROL-CURRENT_LINE fetches line number not from the top, it fetches from the current top of ztablecontrol.
It is onlyy changing the value on scrolling, if i do not scroll table control then value is coming correct.

How to set Cursor position in ALV

Hi,
i have an issue that how can i set cursor in alv grid.
i am using alv function modules.
if user enters wrong info (i have one input enabled filed) then i must show this row as first row and place the cursor in that wrong entry column.
does anybody worked on this kind of issue..?if so,plz send me the example code
Thanks

I think that you have to use OO ALV and use
CALL METHOD <ref.var. to CL_GUI_ALV_GRID > ->set_current_cell_via_id
   EXPORTING
      IS_ROW_ID    =   <structure of type LVC_S_ROW > ( obsolete )
      IS_COLUMN_ID =   <structure of type LVC_S_COL >
      IS_ROW_NO    =   <structure of type LVC_S_ROID >.
Hopefully, you can find the object reference of you REUSE ALV by using FM 'GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR'
(But i never try it)
Regards.

JTextArea: set cursor position

Hello, i have a problem with my JTextArea: When I'm pressing Enter, the message in the JTextArea should vanish and the cursor should go back to his first position: first row, But the cursor jumps into the next row. These are the things I've tried as yet:
area.setText(null);
area.setText("");
setCaretPosition(...);
please, help me!
THANKS

If you must use a JTextArea, here is how: by overriding the JTextArea's processKeyEvent(...) method. In doing this, you intercept the key event before it is processed and the char gets written to the text area. This allows you to check the event so that if it is VK_ENTER (meaning the user hit the <enter> key), you can avoid writing it to the text area and, instead, call some method that writes the text to a socket (or whatever). Since the <enter> does not get written to the JTextArea, the cursor ends up back on the first line after you setText("").
You will have to create your own class extending JTextArea and, in that class, override processKeyEvent(...). Some sample code is pasted below:
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.Dimension;
public class MyTextArea extends JTextArea {
     public MyTextArea() {
          this.setLineWrap(true);
     public void sendText(){
          //some code here to send text somewhere
          this.setText("");
     public void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e){
          if(e.getKeyChar() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER){
               sendText();
          }else {
               super.processKeyEvent(e);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Dimension d = new Dimension(200,100);
          MyTextArea textArea = new MyTextArea();
          textArea.setPreferredSize(d);
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          JPanel contentPane = (JPanel)frame.getContentPane();
          contentPane.add(textArea, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);
}

The code to set focus and cursor position fails in a mobile browser

In two previous discussions (http://scn.sap.com/message/15176399 and http://scn.sap.com/message/15205348) I received help on how to set the focus on an OpenUI5 mobile input field and then how to position the cursor at the end of any text that might be in that field.
That all works well in desktop browsers (Chrome, Firefox and IE10).
However that same code seems to fail when I test it on browsers on mobile devices. At first I thought this was working in Chrome on an iPad but now it does not (could our taking new OpenUI5 code recently affected that?). I do not think I have ever see this work in Chrome on a, Android tablet.
Has anyone had success setting the focus and cursor position on a mobile input field running in a mobile environment?

Wasn't sure where to turn with this problem. There is talk on the web that there is a problem in Chrome on Android and that this will be fixed in version 37. We I get that version I will try and update this post.
