Method Detail

createPosition

javax.swing.text.Position createPosition(int offset)
                                         throws javax.swing.text.BadLocationException

Creates a position within the content. The position offset is changed as the content is edited.

Parameters:

offset - The offset in the content >= 0

Returns:

A new Position.

Throws:

javax.swing.text.BadLocationException - For an invalid offset

getLength

int getLength()

The length in characters of the content.

Returns:

The length >= 0

insertChars

void insertChars(int where,
                 char[] ch,
                 int start,
                 int length)
                 throws javax.swing.text.BadLocationException

Inserts a sequence of characters into the content at a given offset.

Parameters:

where - Offset into the content to make the insertion >= 0

ch - The char buffer to insert from.

start - Start of useful data in the char buffer.

length - Length of useful data in the char buffer.

Throws:

javax.swing.text.BadLocationException - thrown if the offset indicated by the where argument is not contained in the boundaries of the content character sequence.

remove

void remove(int where,
            int nitems)
            throws javax.swing.text.BadLocationException

Removes some portion of the content sequence.

Parameters:

where - The offset into the sequence to make the removal >= 0.

nitems - The number of items in the sequence to be removed >= 0.

Throws:

javax.swing.text.BadLocationException - Thrown if the area covered by the where and nitems parameters is not contained in the content character sequence.

getString

java.lang.String getString(int where,
                           int len)
                           throws javax.swing.text.BadLocationException

Fetches a string of characters contained in the content sequence.

Parameters:

where - Offset into the sequence to fetch >= 0.

len - Number of characters to copy >= 0.

Returns:

The extracted String.

Throws:

javax.swing.text.BadLocationException - Thrown if the area covered by the arguments is not contained in the content character sequence.

getChars

void getChars(int where,
              int len,
              javax.swing.text.Segment chars)
              throws javax.swing.text.BadLocationException

Retrieves a portion of the content into the specified Segment. If the desired content spans the gap, we copy the content. If the desired content does not span the gap, the actual store is returned to avoid the copy since it is contiguous.

Parameters:

where - The starting position >= 0, where + len <= length()

len - The number of characters to be retrieved >= 0

chars - The Segment object to return the characters into.

Throws:

javax.swing.text.BadLocationException - If the specified position or length are invalid.
