default languge in java textfield

[ren2012]

hello everyone!
my problem today is this:

i have a text input box in which i want to insert Hebrew (RTL language) text. now, the RTL support i need is basic, and thats easy enough to do. however, for entering hebrew in the box, the user has to set hebrew in his windows language bar. is there a way of making the default input language in the box hebrew, regardless of what is currently set in the language bar?

note - the hebrew characters are showing just fine, its just that to enter them you have to make sure the language bar is set to hebrew as well.

So you mean that a way to write into your textbox in Hebrew without changing the language from the language tool bar?

yes.

What's a text input box? Or, for that matter, a java textfield? Or a textbox?

If you expect correct help on a Java forum, you have to take the trouble to specify the Java classes involved in your problem, always remembering that Java is case sensitive. It would also help you to capitalize the first word of eaxh sentence and the singular first person I. Failure to do so implies laziness in the extreme, and very few here are interested in helping a lazy person.

To get better help sooner, post a SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable) example that demonstrates the problem.

Not really. The input language (i.e. the character set) is based on the keyboard mapping coming from the host OS. If your keyboard mapping is set to english, then java is essentially getting ASCII codes for letters (it's actually unicode, but ASCII and Unicode match for at least the first 128 [maybe 256] characters). However, hebrew is going to be further down the list in the unicode pallet. If your input key mapping is mapped to hebrew characters, then thats what java will receive in the input box. You could do some kind of crazy manual conversion, but generally input is something that based on the host environment.

No? But lazy enough to neglect proper capitalizing.

So, what's a textfield?
