I have another problem with highlighting in a textcomponent( a JTextPane) I catch the caretupdate event to select parts of my text when the user selects a character (the text contains of collections of characters instead of separate characters... So if a character is selected i want to select all the characters in the collection of the selected character.) The problem is that i can get it to work with the mouse, but not with the arrows on the keyboard. The background selection color with the arrows turns white instead of the blue i set it to (with setSelectionColor()). When i do the same thing with the mouse, it works fine (a blue background color!)...

Click on the button. Because the focus is no longer on the text component, the selection/highlight disappears. However, the call to the component.getSelectedText() will still return the selection correctly. How can I, if possible, have the text marked as selected even though the focus is lost? Thanks. -Lenny, New York. _______________________________________________ Advanced-swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/advanced-swing _______________________________________________ Advanced-swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/advanced-swing
