Im using the DefaultHightlighter.DefaultHightlighterPainter to highlight text within a java text pane.
I want to remove all highlights (there could be more than one string highlighted) and want it to return the locations of the strings where the highlight has been removed, so obviously I cant use
pseudoCodeTextPane.getHighlighter().removeHighlight(highlight);
Can anyone help? Thanks
How about something like
Highlighter.Highlight[] highlights = pseudoCodeTextPane.getHighlighter().getHighlights();
int[] startOffsets = new int[highlights.length];
int[] endOffsets = new int[highlights.length];
for (int i = 0; i < highlights.length; ++i) {
startOffsets[i] = highlights[i].getStartOffset();
endOffsets[i] = highlights[i].getEndOffset();
}
pseudoCodeTextPane.getHighlighter().removeAllHighlights();
// now do whatever processing you want to do with the highlight locations
If you remove all highlights (I suppose with removeAllHighlights) you can getHighlights before that and use the information you receive there.
