how can i do the word processor's page operations in my java word processor

Posted: Apr 11, 2002 11:20 AM

Hai,
I am developing a word processor using Java. It?s workspace is JTextPane. In order to give the page view and do page operation I have assigned one JTextPane per page.
Generaly in a word processor if the cursor completes a page, a new page will be created and the cursor will be fixed in the starting position of the new page.

I need to do the same thing in my word processor.

That is I need to restrict the JTextPane(page) in such a way that the cursor has to be always inside the JtextPane. It means that the JTextPane (page) should not increase it?s size whenever the cursor goes out of it?s size. Instead a new JTextPane(page) can be created and the cursor can be fixed in starting position of the new JTextPane.

Thing is that a text component can be added with or without the JScrollPane. In the first case both the scroll bar and the cursor will appear if it goes out of the text component?s rage. In the second case neither scroll bar nor cursor will appear. So these two will not help me.

How can I do this in my word processor?

I will be grateful to you if you send some suggestion.

With regards,
K. Saran

Check out the java documentation, and search http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ for JTextPane. I started to develop a java word processor as well, and from what I remember, you will have to work with <code>Document</code>s and/or <code>StyledDocument</code>s. Instead of having multiple JTextPanes, you'll probably only need one JTextPane. Then have a class that either extends or uses (as a member variable) the <code>StyledDocument</code> class. This class will contain the content of each page. Then when the user goes to another page in a file, your program will get the content of that page (from the object that's holding the contents) and display it in your text pane. I hope this makes sense. If not, email me at hw_stuckie@hotmail.com and let me know.

PS. I kinda gave up on my java word processor, but I'm still interested in creating one. If you would like to work together on this, email me and let me know. Thanks.
