TextArea synchronised selection

Hi,
I'm trying to write a hex viewer, where one TextArea shows
the hex values, and another the ASCII values, e.g.
41 42 43 44 ABCD
45 46 47 48 EFGH
I need the TextAreas to show a synchronised selection, so if
you select 42 -> 45 in the first box, area 1, B-E is selected in
the second box. I've overcome my first problem (that of the
TextArea control hiding selection on lost focus), but I can't seem
to find a nice way to synchronise the selections. There doesn't see
to be a selectionChanged event, and trying to use mouse click,
down, up or move fails in odd cases (e.g. when you move the mouse
off the control with the mouse still held down, the selection
changes but the events no longer fire).
Anyone have any bright ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Jon Rowland

Hello,
You could do like this
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK BLCK1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
PARAMETERS: P_PROJ LIKE PROJ-PSPNR.
SELECTION-SCREEN SKIP.
SELECT-OPTIONS: S_WBS FOR PRPS-POSID NO INTERVALS.
SELECTION-SCREEN SKIP 2.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION 1.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(79) TEXT-030.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION 1.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(74) TEXT-031.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION 1.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 1(34) TEXT-032.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK BLCK1.

How do I select a paragraph element spanning multiple lines

Hi,
I would like to retrieve the text from a JTextArea that surrounds the caret. What I mean by this is that I would like to select out the text around the caret that is a legitimate paragraph not the one associated with PlainDocument.
ie.
blah blah blah
text text <caret> text
text text text text
blah blah blah blah
In this scenario I would like to select out the two lines containing "text." I would like to do this without having to write my own code to parse the document. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

You could do something like this, although somewhat tedious. Hope it will help!
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class ParagraphSelectionTest
public static void main(String[] args)
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Paragraph selection");
    frame.setSize(500, 300);
    JTextArea tp = new JTextArea();
    frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    frame.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(tp), BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.getContentPane().add(new JButton(new ParagraphSelectionAction(tp)), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    frame.setVisible(true);
class ParagraphSelectionAction extends AbstractAction
private JTextArea m_textArea;
public ParagraphSelectionAction(JTextArea textArea)
    super("Select paragraph");
    m_textArea = textArea;
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    Element caretElement = ((PlainDocument)m_textArea.getDocument()).
        getParagraphElement(m_textArea.getCaretPosition());
    boolean bStartSet = false;
    boolean bFound = false;
    int nStart = 0;
    int nEnd = 0;
    for (Enumeration enum = ((AbstractDocument.BranchElement)caretElement.getParentElement()).children();
        enum.hasMoreElements(); )
      Element el = (AbstractDocument.LeafElement)enum.nextElement();
      if (!bStartSet)
        nStart = el.getStartOffset();
        bStartSet = true;
      if (el == caretElement)
        bFound = true;
      if (el.getEndOffset() - el.getStartOffset() == 1)
        if (el == caretElement)
          nEnd = nStart;
        if (bFound)
          break;
        else
          bStartSet = false;
      nEnd = el.getEndOffset();
    m_textArea.setSelectionStart(nStart);
    m_textArea.setSelectionEnd(nEnd);
    m_textArea.getCaret().setSelectionVisible(true);
}

JTextArea selection color

Hi
I want to be abel to set diffrent colors in a textarea by selecting a
interval of text och and then selecting a color.
How is this done?
I dont mean the selection color, the actual text. The purpose is to have an textarea with lots of news text, and be abel to color mark them for diffrent priority.
Thanks.

hi,
JTextField, JPasswordField, and JTextArea each use a PlainDocument model. PlainDocument allows one font, one color, and is limited to character content. JEditorPane and JTextPane use a StyledDocument model. StyledDocument is much more complex, allowing multiple fonts, colors, embedded images and components, and various sets of hierarchically resolving textual attributes. So either use JEditorPane or JTextPane as per u'r requirement -

Selection on a TextComponent

I need to select part of a TextArea and for this I use the select(int,int) method, after that I must send the focus to a TextField and I use therefore the Component.requestFocus method.
Unfortunately executing the applet with the 1.5 Plugin the TextArea to be selected needs to have the focus, so when I send the focus to the TextField the selection disappears. It did not seem to behave this way until the 1.4 plugin version.
Please note also that :
1) I need to compile with an old compiler 1.2 to ensure compatibility with the Microsoft VM (my applet is destinated to lots of people that are not willing to install the Sun plugin).
2) I cannot send the focus to the TextArea first , select and then send the focus to TextField as I need that the selection remains on the screen.
Here's an example code :
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Prova extends Frame{
     TextField field;
     TextArea a;
     public Prova()
          setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
          addNotify();
          a=new TextArea("dsd");
          add(a, new GridBagConstraints(0, 0, 1, 1, 1.0, 0.0,
                              GridBagConstraints.NORTHWEST,
                              GridBagConstraints.BOTH,
                              new Insets(1, 0, 1, 0),
                              0, 0));
          field=new TextField();
          add(field, new GridBagConstraints(0, 1, 1, 1, 1.0, 0.0,
                              GridBagConstraints.NORTHWEST,
                              GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL,
                              new Insets(5, 0, 1, 0),
                              0, 0));
          setSize(300,500);
          a.select(0,2);
          field.requestFocus();
          public static void main(String [] args)
               (new Prova()).setVisible(true);
}

Can anybody give me an advice on how to cope with this problem?
The way I implemented a program works perfectly until the 1.4, and the way I can implement in 1.5 (instead of selecting set the TextArea background with the SystemColor.textHighlight and the foreground with the SystemColor.textHighlightText) does not work with 1.4 and previous. I should therefore write the code twice :-((
Thanks.

Highlight all Textarea text

Hi Guys
I have several text areas in a VBox called documentContainer. Now, what I want to do is when a user presses the "a" button the text in all the textareas is selected. I have managed to get it to partially work in that it'll select all the text in the current textarea, but it will not select the text in the other textareas. Code below:
if(event.keyCode == 65) {
     for(var i:uint=0; i<documentContainer.numChildren; i++) {
           var taTextSelection:TextArea = documentContainer.getChildAt(i) as TextArea;
           taTextSelection.setSelection(0, taTextSelection.length);

I believe this is how it is done:
var myString:String = "test string";
System.setClipboard(myString);
You might not be able to read the clipboard once set in Flex though. You can in AIR. Here is another example I found on a blog:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        verticalAlign="middle"
        backgroundColor="white">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Alert;
            private function button_click():void {
                System.setClipboard(richTextEditor.text);
                Alert.show("Done");
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:ApplicationControlBar dock="true">
        <mx:Button id="button"
                label="Copy text to clipboard"
                toolTip="Click here to copy the contents of the RichTextEditor control to the OS clipboard."
                click="button_click();" />
    </mx:ApplicationControlBar>
    <mx:RichTextEditor id="richTextEditor"
            text="The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
            width="100%"
            height="100%" />
</mx:Application>

Problem with fullscreen and TextArea

I'm actually working to put a program in fullscreen mode. My interface is ok in fullscreen, I just got a problem with my TextArea. I don't arrive to get focus on them when it is in fullscreen...
My cursor change, but I can't select the text inside.
if someone got an idea?
thanks,
Thomas.

It doesn't work. My textArea is selectable, but I begin to define my problem.
When I'm in fullscreen, I don't arrive to get focus on the TextArea.
myFocusListener = new FocusListener() {
               public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
                    myProxy.sendFromComponentInt("selected", 1);
               public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
                    myProxy.sendFromComponentInt("selected", 0);
it never pass in focusGained when I'm in fullscreen mode, whereas it work fine in a classic Frame.
I go in fullscreen mode like this :
public void setFullscreen (){
     GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
     GraphicsDevice gd = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice ();
     GraphicsConfiguration gc = gd.getDefaultConfiguration ();
     Rectangle windowBounds = gc.getBounds();
// resize my interface to the size of screen
     sendFromWindowIntInt ("resized", windowBounds.width, windowBounds.height);
     //System.out.println("largeur : "+ windowBounds.width +" hauteur : "+ windowBounds.height);
     JWindow win = new JWindow () ;
     win.setContentPane(window.getContentPane());
     gd.setFullScreenWindow (win) ;
     win.requestFocus();
Got an Idea?
thanks a lot.

TABINDEX

Hi,
I have got a query for which I am trying to get a solution for about two days now.
I have got a web form with a lot of input types like text, textarea, radio, select. And all these are overlayered with a transparent div. To avoid user interaction.
Each input type has got a corresponding link by which on clicking, the div over it will be removed and data can be entered into that input.
Consider this scenario. If I want to edit one textarea at the top of the page I ll be clicking the link for it and the div over it will be removed. Now if I press the tab key it will go to the next input type which is covered with the div and the user can type in even if that input type is covered with the div. That should not happen. So I gave the tabindex for all the input types as -1. But in IE its not working for radio buttons. For mozilla, its perfect. So I gave tabIndex -40000 for radio button only. I read somewhere that it will work. And it did. But as always, the next issue.... if I click the link for any radio button, the div over it will be removed. But now if I press the tab key it will go to the next radio button over which there is a div.
I cant disable these input types and I strivctly have to use these over lays to restrict user interaction..How can I solve this issue. Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance...

You could consider using Flash Foms which gives you access to the "Enabled" Attribute. It's a boolean value that when set to false does not allow the user to interact with the control. This way you could do away with the invisible divs completely and enable and disable controls without having to refresh the page and your tabs can stay the way they are.

Help me,JSP is not recognizing the class which in in jar under root of ear

<%@ page import="com.sample.components.HttpUtil"%>
I am not able to get the HttpUtil class in my JSP.Above is my declaration .I am getting compilation error.
The HttpUtil class is under components package,which was in components.jar.
And it is kept under root of ear.And the classpath for web is having entry of that jar.
Please help me

I changed the <form> in the jsp to div and its working fine. I do not need to have comments in JavaScript funcion() anymore. I don't know why that made the difference though? According to:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_form.asp
The <form> tag is used to create an HTML form for user input.
The <form> element can contain one or more of the following form elements:
<input>
<textarea>
<button>
<select>
<option>
<optgroup>
<fieldset>
<label>
An HTML form is used to pass data to a server.
I do have <button> and also send the data - the value of checkboxes - to server. So I think it should also work with <form>.
Please let me know if you have any idea. Thanks.

As it signalled the page of Youtube, expected this answer, but like my knowledge in this matter is scarce, had to ensure me that the problem was not the browser or the absence of a package.
Thank you for answering

Non-ascii, jsp-struts, not reciveing the correct value in the server

Hi,
I am developing JSP-Struts based application using tomcat server. In JSP struts form, when I put nonascii charater in the text field or text area, on the server side I recived twice of that non-ascii character..
for example, in the text field I entered following string:
------> This is text in tex field �
On the server side, I get the following:
------> This is text in tex field ��
Please notice, twice non ascii character.. :(
I don't know how to resolve this.. Any help will be greatly appricated..
Thanks,
Ajay

Style.css compatibility

This may be a silly question, but I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my style.css file.I'm new at this and I'm getting compatibility issues with a color selection that I'm using and I don't know why. Dreamweaver is saying that it is incompatible in IE 6,7 Netscape 8 etc.
Here is a sample of the code:
12.      }
13.      td, textarea, input, select {
14.      font-family: Tahoma;
15.      font-size: 10px;
16.      color: c6c6c6;
17.      font-weight: normal;
18.      }
Line 16 is giving me the error. Unsupported value:c6c6c6. But, the site shows perfectly in Chrome or Mozilla....
Thanks,
DJ

Put a hash mark "#" in front of the color hex. Interesting that some browsers show it correctly without it, but all will be able to show it if you use the hash.

To wit: #c6c6c6

Spry Password Question

I've been reading a lot about spam protection for contact forms and I have heard a lot of people talking about honeypots. They say just use a field that you tell people not to fill out and if it is field out when submitted ignore the message. My client is tired of the messages all together and wants them to stop. Is there a way to use the spry password validation with a universal password? Then next to the password field I can just say enter this password for spam protection. I’m not opposed to using a honeypot if someone can show me how to block the message altogether. I’m running a script through Godaddy and here is the contact page. Don’t be brutal I’m a noob and keep this in mind when responding. Thanks

Ok, here is what I found a YouTube video explaining how to use JQuery to submit a form on element change. View it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVnCkotKFLs

Server side form validation

Hi exprets.
How can i validate a form with jsp without the involvement of any client side script so that when a field is not filled properly it should display the form again with the data filled previously and a message against the incorrect field.
I have a generic asp code that can be used with any form. There are some complexities in it for me in converting it to jsp because I am very net to it.

end select
end sub %>
End of validateform.asp
and I use it like this:

<%
     on error resume next
%>
<body leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" topmargin="0">
<%
     validateForm "addcustomer.asp"
%>
     <form action="" method="post" name="form1" >
<%validateError%>
Customer Name
<%textbox "Name", pName, 30, "textbox", "Customer Name", 50, ""%>
<%validate "Name", "required"%>
the last two scriptlets create a Name field which is required. If user does not fill it an error message appears against it.
Can someone help me please.

Wow... some ASP code... its strange to see ASP these days as its been ages since i have coded in ASP.
Well to answer your question, there are couple of options to overcome this issue.
1) Make use of Struts Framework. It automatically takes care for the error handling(ok not automatically), but error handling of the type you are looking for is built into it and one needs to modify according to his/her own application.
2) The other option will be to submit the data to the servlet. Populate the data into the respective fields of a Bean and put the bean into session/request as per ur requirements. On the JSP page, check if there is some data in the bean. If yes, then populate the values of HTML controls from the BEAN and the one that is empty/has custom error that you might enter in servlet can be displayed as an error message to the user.
Hopefully this works for you. Give it a shot and its correctly said, that "necessity is the mother of invention"

How to Install Spry for CS4?

Hello,
First off, sorry for such a newb question, but...
I'm using Dreamweaver CS4. I've been reading about Spry and it sounds very interesting. I'm unclear on what I need to do to install and use it with Dreamweaver. I've downloaded the 1.6.1 version and an updater for CS4.
Is there an actual installer I should run? Do I copy the files that extracted from the 1.6.1 download to a particular folder? Do I use Adobe Extension Manager to install?
A step-by-step instruction of just what to do with these files to properly install them for use would be much appreciated.
thanks very much!

Welcome Kim!
Check out the Spry Insert Bar right in Dreamweaver CS4: it includes
Spry Data Set
Spry Regions (Repeat, Repeat List)
Form Validation (Text Field, Textarea, Checkbox, Select, Password, Validation Confirm, Radio Group)
Spry Widgets (Menu Bar, Tabbed Panels, Accordion, Collapsible Panel, and Tooltip)
There are many other Spry doo-dads and functionalities, all of which are explained and illustrated at: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/spry/
Lots to sink your teeth into!
Have fun!
