Purpose
Here is a PJC that allows doing some basic operations on a Text Item.
You can apply styles on the selected sub-text and also view the HTML result in a browser window.
It is a "light" component that does not render the HTML result itself, but has the benefit to stay a simple PJC (no Java Bean).
A popup menu is attached to both single and multi-line Text Items.
Select a part of the text, then right-click to display the popup menu.
The Java code
EmbededTextField.java EmbededTextArea.java
The implementation class of the PJCs
oracle.forms.fd.EmbedeTextField for a single-line Text Item
oracle.forms.fd.EmbedeTextArea for a multi-line Text Item
The methods you can set
- . Set the case
Set_Custom_Property( 'BL.BEAN', 1, 'CASE', 'case' ) ;
Where case can b:
-
- - UPPER
- - LOWER
- . Set the style
Set_Custom_Property( 'BL.BEAN', 1, 'STYLE', 'style' ) ;
Where style can b:
-
- - BOLD
- - ITALIC
- - UNDERLINE
The methods you can call
- Get the cursor location in the Text Item
char := Get_Custom_Property( 'BL.BEAN', 1, 'GET_CARET_POSITION' ) ;
The first position is zero (0).
- Get the selection range
char := Get_Custom_Property( 'BL.BEAN', 1, 'GET_RANGE_SELECTION' ) ;
that returns a comma delimited string : start_position,end_position
The first position is zero (0).
