JTextField - reading text as it's visual in the field.

Hi all!I want to read text from JTextField into String as it is visual in the field, and not by method getText().(Because I have some BiDirection problems). Does anybody know the way to do that?Thanks in advance, Nemaria.

Thank you, but it didn't work. It also returned the text and not its representation in the window.Regards,Nemaria

When user inserted mixed English/Hebrew or mixed English/Arabic text into JText field, I want to build letter by letter a new String str, in which characters will be exactly in the same order (str[0], str[1],...) that they are visible in the JTextField from left to right or from left to right. That's all I want, because then I need this String to build a RTF document, and otherwise a mixed text makes a lot of problems. May be I should use a caret?

Hi nemaria.I'm not sure I understood what you mean with BiDirection problem but if you want to manage a char as soon as it's typed, implement the KeyListener interface.For everything else, I mean you could use exceptions.Hope it could help.Frd ric.

Thanks Frederic!

If I use Listener, I'll get charecters in the order they are printed, and I need to get them in the order they are visible. When you enter the mixed text, part of which is Hebrew/Arabic(from right to left) and part of which is English, you get a big mess in the JText Field.

Maybe I should use BasicTextUI.getNextVisualPositionFrom function? But I don't understand exactly what it does and how it works.

Regards,

Nemaria.
