extends javax.swing.JEditorPane

implements ActionInvoker, java.awt.dnd.Autoscroll, java.beans.PropertyChangeListener

A BasicEditorPane is an extension of the JEditorPane to provide more flexible syntax and background highlighting functionality at a reduced memory and performance footprint. It can be used anywhere a JEditorPane instance can be used. Clients are strongly encouraged to call dispose() when the the editor pane is no longer needed, but this is not an absolute requirement. This allows us to clean up as well as notify editor plugins that the editor is no longer being used.

Undo Support:

The editor framework provides some support for naming edits, grouping together similar edits, and undo of navigation. When making a change to the document using insertString() or remove(), or through the editor using replaceSelection(), cut(), or paste(), you can specify a name for the edit by creating an EditDescriptor for the edit, and passing it to BasicEditorPane.beginEdit(EditDescriptor). Additionally, you can use it for grouping together a group of edits as a single undoable unit by placing your edits between a call to BasicEditorPane.beginEdit(EditDescriptor) and BasicEditorPane.endEdit(EditDescriptor).

The edit name which you specify through the EditDescriptor is made available through the UndoableEdit using getPresentationName(). This allows you to name your edits like "Add Button", or "Add Field" so that it better describes the edit operation the Undo or Redo applies to.

Built-in actions have pre-defined names used for the EditDescriptor already. Additionally, the editor provides automatic support for merging simple edits. Currently, the simple edit consists of a key-typed insert (insert mode), a key-typed replace (overwrite mode), delete next (Delete key), or delete previous (Backspace key). These simple edits may be merged with other consecutive simple edits of the same type. That means two inserts in a row will be automatically merged if merging for key-typed inserts is enabled, and the merge count allowed is set to greater than two. Look in EditorProperties for the properties to set to enable merging of simple edits, and for setting the merge count.

The editor also provides support for undoing navigation (without associated document changes) using beginNavigation() and endNavigation(). Client code which causes a navigation in the editor (such as "Go to Line", or "Find") should always wrap their navigation commands with calls to beginNavigation() and endNavigation. The current default for the editor is to generate undo events for navigation, though this can be disabled with the appropriate property in EditorProperties. If the editor is set to not generate undos for navigation, the beginNavigation() and endNavigation() will just be NOP calls.

As with the Swing text framework, the UndoableEditListener should be attached to the document (BasicDocument). Undo edits (including navigation) will be delivered through the document. Highlight Support:

For highlight and underline support, refer to the documentation for the HighlightLayer class.

Tooltip Support:

For tooltip support, refer to the documentation for the TooltipProvider interface.

Popup Support:

For popup (context) menu support, refer to the documentation for the PopupManager interface.

Parameters:

editDescriptor - the edit descriptor describes this edit, such as providing a human-readable name

beginFormatEdit

public void beginFormatEdit(EditDescriptor editDescriptor)

This is a special form of beginEdit without calling beginEdit in realTextBuffer

endEdit

public void endEdit(boolean mergeIntoPrevious,
                    javax.swing.undo.UndoableEdit wrappedEdit)

Marks the end of an Undoable edit applied through this editor. If mergeIntoPrevious is true, the editor will attempt to combine this editor into the last UndoableEdit if that edit was also performed through this editor

Parameters:

mergeIntoPrevious - whether the edit should be merged into the previous edit

wrappedEdit - an edit to wrap.

endFormatEdit

public void endFormatEdit(boolean mergeIntoPrevious,
                          javax.swing.undo.UndoableEdit formattedEdit)

This is a special endEdit without calling endEdit in realTextBuffer.

mergeIntoPrevious - sets whether to merge this edit into the previous edit.

formattedEdit - is the formatted undoable edit.

endEdit

public void endEdit()

Marks the end of an Undoable edit applied through this editor.

endEdit

public void endEdit(boolean mergeIntoPrevious)

Marks the end of an Undoable edit applied through this editor. If mergeIntoPrevious is true, the editor will attempt to combine this editor into the last UndoableEdit if that edit was also performed through this editor

Parameters:

mergeIntoPrevious - whether the edit should be merged into the previous edit

beginNavigation

public void beginNavigation()

Marks the start of a navigation through this editor. If navigation is marked as undoable, then this instructs the editor to generate the start of an Undo event.

endNavigation

public void endNavigation()

Marks the end of a navigation through this editor. If navigation is marked as undoable, then this instructs the editor to generate the end of an Undo event.

unselect

public void unselect()

Unselects the current text selection (if any), but leaves the caret where it is.

setCaretPositionCenter

public void setCaretPositionCenter(int position)

Sets the position of the text insertion caret for the TextComponent. This works the same way as setCaretPosition() except that if the new caret position is offscreen, it recenters the new position vertically into the center of the parent view port.

Parameters:

position - the position

moveCaretPositionCenter

public void moveCaretPositionCenter(int position)

Moves the caret to a new position, leaving behind a mark defined by the last time setCaretPosition was called. This is similar to setCaretPositionCenter in that if the new position is offscreen, it recenters the new position vertically into the center of the parent view port.

Parameters:

position - the position

ensureCaretVisible

public void ensureCaretVisible()

Recenters the parent viewport vertically and horizontally around the caret, if the caret position is offscreen. If the caret position is not offscreen, the viewport is not moved.

ensurePositionVisible

public void ensurePositionVisible(int position)

Recenters the parent viewport vertically and horizontally around the specified position, if the position is offscreen. If the position is not offscreen, the viewport is not moved.

Parameters:

position - the position

finalize

protected void finalize()
                 throws java.lang.Throwable

Finalizer to clean up the editor in case it was not disposed of properly.

Overrides:

finalize in class java.lang.Object

Throws:

java.lang.Throwable

dispose

public void dispose()

Instructs this editor pane that it is no longer needed, and that it can clear up resources and references. This is strongly encouraged so that the editor can clean up its resources and deinstall all editor plugins properly.

isProtected

public boolean isProtected()

Fetches whether the editor's content is protected or not - this may be used by clients to indicate that the document is some sort of protected content, and that changes cannot be made directly through the editor, but through other wizards or dialogs instead. From a user's point of view, this is equivalent to making something read-only, except that the status bar will show "Protected" when it is protected, or "Read Only" when it is read only.

Returns:

whether the editor is in protected mode or not

setProtected

public void setProtected(boolean makeProtected)

Sets the editor in protected mode or not.

Parameters:

makeProtected - true to set the editor in protected mode

isCutCopyLineEnabled

protected boolean isCutCopyLineEnabled()

Checks whether Cut/Copy on current line with no selection is enabled.

Returns:

true if cut or copy on current line with no selection is enabled.

canCut

public boolean canCut()

Fetches whether a cut operation can be performed by calling cut(). This checks to make sure the editor is editable, and that there is a selection to cut.

Returns:

whether the cut() operation can be performed

canCopy

public boolean canCopy()

Fetches whether a copy operation can be performed by calling copy(). This checks to make that there is a selection currently in the editor to copy.

Returns:

whether the copy() operation can be performed

canPaste

public boolean canPaste()

Fetches whether the paste operation can be performed by calling paste(). This checks to make sure that the editor is editable, but does not check if the contents are pasteable as that can be an expensive operation.

Returns:

whether the paste() operation can be performed

isValidClipboardContent

public boolean isValidClipboardContent()

Checks if the current content of the clipboard can be pasted into the editor.

Returns:

true if the content of the clipboard can be pasted.

hasSelection

public boolean hasSelection()

Fetches whether there is currently a selection in the editor.

Returns:

whether there is a selection in the editor

getFontHelper

public FontHelper getFontHelper()

Convenience method for getting the current font helper.

Returns:

the current FontHelper instance

setBaseFont

public void setBaseFont(java.lang.String fontFamily,
                        int fontSize)

Set the base font of this editor pane independently from the global base font. Note that changes to the global base font will override this custom font set in this editor.

Parameters:

fontFamily - the font family of the base font

fontSize - the font size of the base font

getStyleRegistry

public StyleRegistry getStyleRegistry()

Fetch the global style registry used for all editor panes.

Returns:

the global style registry

setStyleRegistry

public void setStyleRegistry(StyleRegistry registry)

Replace the global style registry used for all editor panes.

Parameters:

registry - the new registry to use

getHighlightRegistry

public HighlightRegistry getHighlightRegistry()

Fetch the global highlight registry used for all editor panes.

Returns:

the global highlight registry

setHighlightRegistry

public void setHighlightRegistry(HighlightRegistry registry)

Replace the global highlight registry used for all editor panes.

Parameters:

registry - the new registry to use

setFont

public void setFont(java.awt.Font font)

We override the setFont implementation, as the font handling in the editor framework is different. Since this editor is capable of rendering different styles for the same font, and since we are using global fonts from our properties, we ignore the normal Swing/AWT set font mechanism. To change the base font of this editor by itself, use BasicEditorPane.setBaseFont(). To change the global base font of the editor framework, use EditorProperties.setBaseFont().

Overrides:

setFont in class javax.swing.JComponent

Parameters:

font - the font to set

setEditable

public void setEditable(boolean editable)

Sets the specified boolean to indicate whether or not this TextComponent should be editable. A PropertyChange event ("editable") is fired when the state is changed. We override this to track whether the clients have made the editor read only through this, so that if the editor's protected or the text buffer's read only mode changes, we can still honor user's programmatic changes

Overrides:

setEditable in class javax.swing.text.JTextComponent
