we can select multiple folders in windows.
Likewise i want to select a text in a trext editor

[JvlShz]

do you mean multiple lines or multiple selection instances?

[joypik]

yes, u are right

[Fubarable]

yes, u are right

I suggest that either you mark this question as solved or ask a more detailed question, because right now, you're still not asking an answerable question.

i mean can we select multiple lines of text i.e can we select lines alternatively or randomly or many instances of lines in text.
Is the question now understandable?

You can't do that; the text models support one contiguous area of text to be marked; you can't have several of then. Read the API documentation for the Caret interface (you can only have one Caret per text model).

You can't "select" multiple lines or blocks of text.

You can "highlight" multiple blocks of text. You can use a Highlighter for this. Read the API, I think you use getHighlighter() to add highlights.

Or, if you really do need the ability to select multiple lines then use a JList where each item in the list is a line of text.

Camickr publishes an excellent website: link, with a lot of examples, ready to run code and great explanations; when it comes to Swing his website is bookmarked next to Sun's Swing Tutorials.

ps. you should search for 'highlighter' on his site.
