Firstly... there's a sample applet on http://www.cs.sonoma.edu/Java
that demonstrates a simple UI with UI-related objects that talk to
each other. Big deal, right? Well for some it is. The sources are
available there as well as the executable versions. Hopefully I'll
get to keep putting cute applets with sources there as I find the
time.
I'd like to ask a question about the AWT.TextArea object. Is there a
way of erasing text in a TextArea. I'd like to know the same for a
AWT.TextField object.
The API only covers the following in the TextArea API (for example):
- cursorPos:
- dispose:
- endPos:
- getPreferredSize:
- getText:
- insertText:
These are nice but...
How about adding the following:
- setSel: (setSelection)
- cut: (cut text)
- delete: (delete text)
- paste: (paste text)
Or are these handled in the superclasses somewhere?
Am I missing something? This seems like pretty obvious stuff in any
text-based object.
