A Dialog-Based Macro">Chapter 14, <i>A Dialog-Based Macro</i></a> reflects a conventional approach to obtaining
input in a Java program. Nevertheless, it can be too lengthy or tedious
for someone trying to write a macro quickly. Not every macro needs a
user interface specified in such detail; some macros require only a
single keystroke or no input at all. In this section we outline some
other techniques for obtaining input that will help you write macros
quickly.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="macro-tips-input-single-line"></a>Getting a Single Line of Text</h3></div></div></div><p>As mentioned earlier in <a class="xref" href="helpful-methods.html" title="Helpful Methods in the Macros Class">the section called “Helpful Methods in the Macros Class”</a>,
the method <code class="function">Macros.input()</code> offers a convenient
way to obtain a single line of text input. Here is an example that
inserts a pair of HTML markup tags specified by the user.</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">// Insert_Tag.bsh
void insertTag()
{
caret = textArea.getCaretPosition();
tag = Macros.input(view, <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Enter name of tag:</span>”</span>);
if( tag == null || tag.length() == 0) return;
text = textArea.getSelectedText();
if(text == null) text = <span class="quote">“<span class="quote"></span>”</span>;
sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote"><</span>”</span>).append(tag).append(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">></span>”</span>);
sb.append(text);
sb.append(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote"></</span>”</span>).append(tag).append(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">></span>”</span>);
textArea.setSelectedText(sb.toString());
if(text.length() == 0)
textArea.setCaretPosition(caret + tag.length() + 2);
}
insertTag();
// end Insert_Tag.bsh</pre></div><p>Here the call to <code class="function">Macros.input()</code> seeks the
name of the markup tag. This method sets the message box title to a
fixed string, <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Macro input</span>”</span>, but the specific message
<span class="guilabel"><strong>Enter name of tag</strong></span> provides all the information
necessary. The return value <code class="varname">tag</code> must be tested to
see if it is null. This would occur if the user presses the
<span class="guilabel"><strong>Cancel</strong></span> button or closes the dialog window
displayed by <code class="function">Macros.input()</code>.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="macro-tips-input-multiple-data"></a>Getting Multiple Data Items</h3></div></div></div><p>If more than one item of input is needed, a succession of
calls to <code class="function">Macros.input()</code> is a possible, but
awkward approach, because it would not be possible to correct early
input after the corresponding message box is dismissed. Where more
is required, but a full dialog layout is either unnecessary or too
much work, the Java method
<code class="function">JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog()</code> is available.
The version to use has the following prototype:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><div class="funcsynopsis"><table border="0" class="funcprototype-table" summary="Function synopsis" style="cellspacing: 0; cellpadding: 0;"><tr><td><code class="funcdef">public static int
<b class="fsfunc">showConfirmDialog</b>(</code></td><td>Component
<var class="pdparam">parentComponent</var>, </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>Object
<var class="pdparam">message</var>, </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>String
<var class="pdparam">title</var>, </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>int
<var class="pdparam">optionType</var>, </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>int
<var class="pdparam">messageType</var><code>)</code>;</td></tr></table><div class="funcprototype-spacer"> </div></div></li></ul></div><p>The usefulness of this method arises from the fact that the
<code class="varname">message</code> parameter can be an object of any Java
class (since all classes are derived from
<code class="classname">Object</code>), or any array of objects. The
following example shows how this feature can be used.</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">// excerpt from Write_File_Header.bsh
title = <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Write file header</span>”</span>;
currentName = buffer.getName();
nameField = new JTextField(currentName);
authorField = new JTextField(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Your name here</span>”</span>);
descField = new JTextField(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote"></span>”</span>, 25);
namePanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, 2));
nameLabel = new JLabel(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Name of file:</span>”</span>, SwingConstants.LEFT);
saveField = new JCheckBox(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Save file when done</span>”</span>,
!buffer.isNewFile());
namePanel.add(nameLabel);
namePanel.add(saveField);
message = new Object[9];
message[0] = namePanel;
message[1] = nameField;
message[2] = Box.createVerticalStrut(10);
message[3] = <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Author's name:”;
message[4] = authorField;
message[5] = Box.createVerticalStrut(10);
message[6] = <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Enter description:</span>”</span>;
message[7] = descField;
message[8] = Box.createVerticalStrut(5);
if( JOptionPane.OK_OPTION !=
JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(view, message, title,
JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION,
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE))
return null;
// *****remainder of macro script omitted*****
// end excerpt from Write_File_Header.bsh</pre></div><p>This macro takes several items of user input and produces a
formatted file header at the beginning of the buffer. The full macro
is included in the set of macros installed by jEdit. There are a
number of input features of this excerpt worth noting.</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>The macro uses a total of seven visible components.
Two of them are created behind the scenes by
<code class="function">showConfirmDialog()</code>, the rest are made
by the macro. To arrange them, the script creates an array
of <code class="classname">Object</code> objects and assigns
components to each location in the array. This translates to
a fixed, top-to-bottom arrangement in the message box
created by <code class="function">showConfirmDialog()</code>.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The macro uses <code class="classname">JTextField</code>
objects to obtain most of the input data. The fields
<code class="varname">nameField</code> and
<code class="varname">authorField</code> are created with constructors
that take the initial, default text to be displayed in the
field as a parameter. When the message box is displayed, the
default text will appear and can be altered or deleted by
the user.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The text field <code class="varname">descField</code> uses an
empty string for its initial value. The second parameter in
its constructor sets the width of the text field component,
expressed as the number of characters of
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">average</span>”</span> width. When
<code class="function">showConfirmDialog()</code> prepares the layout
of the message box, it sets the width wide enough to
accommodate the designated with of
<code class="varname">descField</code>. This technique produces a
message box and input text fields that are wide enough for
your data with one line of code.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The displayed message box includes a
<code class="classname">JCheckBox</code> component that determines
whether the buffer will be saved to disk immediately after
the file header is written. To conserve space in the message
box, we want to display the check box to the right of the
label <span class="guilabel"><strong>Name of file:</strong></span>. To do that, we
create a <code class="classname">JPanel</code> object and populate
it with the label and the checkbox in a left-to-right
<code class="classname">GridLayout</code>. The
<code class="classname">JPanel</code> containing the two components
is then added to the beginning of <code class="varname">message</code>
array.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The two visible components created by
<code class="function">showConfirmDialog()</code> appear at positions
3 and 6 of the <code class="varname">message</code> array. Only the
text is required; they are rendered as text labels.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>There are three invisible components created by
<code class="function">showConfirmDialog()</code>. Each of them
involves a call to
<code class="function">Box.createVerticalStrut()</code>. The
<code class="classname">Box</code> class is a sophisticated layout
class that gives the user great flexibility in sizing and
positioning components. Here we use a
<code class="function">static</code> method of the
<code class="classname">Box</code> class that produces a vertical
<em class="glossterm">strut</em>. This is a transparent
component whose width expands to fill its parent component
(in this case, the message box). The single parameter
indicates the height of the strut in pixels. The last call
to <code class="function">createVerticalStrut()</code> separates the
description text field from the <span class="guilabel"><strong>OK</strong></span> and
<span class="guilabel"><strong>Cancel</strong></span> buttons that are automatically
added by <code class="function">showConfirmDialog()</code>.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Finally, the call to
<code class="function">showConfirmDialog()</code> uses defined
constants for the option type and the message type. The
constants are the same as those used with the
<code class="function">Macros.confirm()</code> method; see <a class="xref" href="helpful-methods.html" title="Helpful Methods in the Macros Class">the section called “Helpful Methods in the Macros Class”</a>. The option type signifies the
use of <span class="guilabel"><strong>OK</strong></span> and
<span class="guilabel"><strong>Cancel</strong></span> buttons. The
<code class="constant">QUERY_MESSAGE</code> message type causes the
message box to display a question mark icon.</p><p>The return value of the method is tested against the
value <code class="constant">OK_OPTION</code>. If the return value is
something else (because the <span class="guilabel"><strong>Cancel</strong></span>
button was pressed or because the message box window was
closed without a button press), a <code class="constant">null</code>
value is returned to a calling function, signaling that the
user canceled macro execution. If the return value is
<code class="constant">OK_OPTION</code>, each of the input components
can yield their contents for further processing by calls to
<code class="function">JTextField.getText()</code> (or, in the case
of the check box,
<code class="function">JCheckBox.isSelected()</code>).</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="tips-macro-input-combo"></a>Selecting Input From a List</h3></div></div></div><p>Another useful way to get user input for a macro is to use a
combo box containing a number of pre-set options. If this is the
only input required, one of the versions of
<code class="function">showInputDialog()</code> in the
<code class="classname">JOptionPane</code> class provides a shortcut. Here
is its prototype:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><div class="funcsynopsis"><table border="0" class="funcprototype-table" summary="Function synopsis" style="cellspacing: 0; cellpadding: 0;"><tr><td><code class="funcdef">public static Object
<b class="fsfunc">showInputDialog</b>(</code></td><td>Component
<var class="pdparam">parentComponent</var>, </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>Object
<var class="pdparam">message</var>, </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>String
<var class="pdparam">title</var>, </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>int
<var class="pdparam">messageType</var>, </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>Icon <var class="pdparam">icon</var>, </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>Object[]
<var class="pdparam">selectionValues</var>, </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>Object
<var class="pdparam">initialSelectionValue</var><code>)</code>;</td></tr></table><div class="funcprototype-spacer"> </div></div></li></ul></div><p>This method creates a message box containing a drop-down list
of the options specified in the method's parameters, along with
<span class="guilabel"><strong>OK</strong></span> and <span class="guilabel"><strong>Cancel</strong></span> buttons.
Compared to <code class="function">showConfirmDialog()</code>, this method
lacks an <code class="varname">optionType</code> parameter and has three
additional parameters: an <code class="varname">icon</code> to display in the
dialog (which can be set to <code class="constant">null</code>), an array of
<code class="varname">selectionValues</code> objects, and a reference to one
of the options as the <code class="varname">initialSelectionValue</code> to be
displayed. In addition, instead of returning an
<code class="classname">int</code> representing the user's action,
<code class="function">showInputDialog()</code> returns the
<code class="classname">Object</code> corresponding to the user's selection,
or <code class="constant">null</code> if the selection is canceled.</p><p>The following macro fragment illustrates the use of this
method.</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">// fragment illustrating use of showInputDialog()
options = new Object[5];
options[0] = "JLabel";
options[1] = "JTextField";
options[2] = "JCheckBox";
options[3] = "HistoryTextField";
options[4} = "-- other --";
result = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(view,
"Choose component class",
"Select class for input component",
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,
null, options, options[0]);</pre></div><p>The return value <code class="varname">result</code> will contain either
the <code class="classname">String</code> object representing the selected
text item or <code class="constant">null</code> representing no selection.
Any further use of this fragment would have to test the value of
<code class="varname">result</code> and likely exit from the macro if the
value equaled <code class="constant">null</code>.</p><p>A set of options can be similarly placed in a
<code class="classname">JComboBox</code> component created as part of a
larger dialog or <code class="function">showMessageDialog()</code> layout.
Here are some code fragments showing this approach:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">// fragments from Display_Abbreviations.bsh
// import statements and other code omitted
// from main routine, this method call returns an array
// of Strings representing the names of abbreviation sets
abbrevSets = getActiveSets();
...
// from showAbbrevs() method
combo = new JComboBox(abbrevSets);
// set width to uniform size regardless of combobox contents
Dimension dim = combo.getPreferredSize();
dim.width = Math.max(dim.width, 120);
combo.setPreferredSize(dim);
combo.setSelectedItem(STARTING_SET); // defined as "global"
// end fragments</pre></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="macro-tips-single-char"></a>Using a Single Keypress as Input</h3></div></div></div><p>Some macros may choose to emulate the style of character-based
text editors such as <span class="application">emacs</span> or
<span class="application">vi</span>. They will require only a single
keypress as input that would be handled by the macro but not
displayed on the screen. If the keypress corresponds to a character
value, jEdit can pass that value as a parameter to a BeanShell
script.</p><p>The jEdit class <a class="ulink" href="../api/org/gjt/sp/jedit/gui/InputHandler.html" target="_top">InputHandler</a>
is an abstract class that that manages associations between keyboard
input and editing actions, along with the recording of macros.
Keyboard input in jEdit is normally managed by the derived class
<a class="ulink" href="../api/org/gjt/sp/jedit/gui/DefaultInputHandler.html" target="_top">DefaultInputHandler</a>.
One of the methods in the <a class="ulink" href="../api/org/gjt/sp/jedit/gui/InputHandler.html" target="_top">InputHandler</a>
class handles input from a single keypress:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><div class="funcsynopsis"><table border="0" class="funcprototype-table" summary="Function synopsis" style="cellspacing: 0; cellpadding: 0;"><tr><td><code class="funcdef">public void
<b class="fsfunc">readNextChar</b>(</code></td><td>String
<var class="pdparam">prompt</var>, </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>String
<var class="pdparam">code</var><code>)</code>;</td></tr></table><div class="funcprototype-spacer"> </div></div></li></ul></div><p>When this method is called, the contents of the
<code class="varname">prompt</code> parameter is shown in the view's status
bar. The method then waits for a key press, after which the contents
of the <code class="varname">code</code> parameter will be run as a BeanShell
script, with one important modification. Each time the string
<code class="varname">__char__</code> appears in the parameter script, it will
be substituted by the character pressed. The key press is
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">consumed</span>”</span> by <code class="function">readNextChar()</code>. It
will not be displayed on the screen or otherwise processed by
jEdit.</p><p>Using <code class="function">readNextChar()</code> requires a macro
within the macro, formatted as a single, potentially lengthy string
literal. The following macro illustrates this technique. It selects
a line of text from the current caret position to the first
occurrence of the character next typed by the user. If the character
does not appear on the line, no new selection occurs and the display
remains unchanged.</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">// Next_Char.bsh
script = new StringBuffer(512);
script.append( "start = textArea.getCaretPosition();" );
script.append( "line = textArea.getCaretLine();" );
script.append( "end = textArea.getLineEndOffset(line) + 1;" );
script.append( "text = buffer.getText(start, end - start);" );
script.append( "match = text.indexOf(__char__, 1);" );
script.append( "if(match != -1) {" );
script.append( "if(__char__ != '\\n') ++match;" );
script.append( "textArea.select(start, start + match - 1);" );
script.append( "}" );
view.getInputHandler().readNextChar("Enter a character",
script.toString());
// end Next_Char.bsh</pre></div><p>Once again, here are a few comments on the macro's
design.</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>A <code class="classname">StringBuffer</code> object is used
for efficiency; it obviates multiple creation of
fixed-length <code class="classname">String</code> objects. The
parameter to the constructor of <code class="varname">script</code>
specifies the initial size of the buffer that will receive
the contents of the child script.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Besides the quoting of the script code, the formatting
of the macro is entirely optional but (hopefully) makes it
easier to read.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>It is important that the child script be
self-contained. It does not run in the same namespace as the
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">parent</span>”</span> macro
<code class="filename">Next_Char.bsh</code> and therefore does not
share variables, methods, or scripted objects defined in the
parent macro.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Finally, access to the <a class="ulink" href="../api/org/gjt/sp/jedit/gui/InputHandler.html" target="_top">InputHandler</a>
object used by jEdit is available by calling
<code class="function">getInputHandler()</code> on the current
