I need to not allow any characters to be entered after X have been typed. I need to send a beep after X characters have been typed. I know how to do this after the user presses enter, but I need to do it before the user presses enter. The approach I found from Oracle's site is to add a DocumentSizeFilter to the JTextPane. I can't get this to notify the user when they have gone over (it doesn't work until they press enter). This is a sample of what I have.
public class EndCycleTextAreaRenderer extends JTextPane
implements TableCellRenderer {
private final int maxNumberOfCharacters = 200;
public EndCycleTextAreaRenderer() {
StyledDocument styledDoc = this.getStyledDocument();
AbstractDocument doc;
doc = (AbstractDocument)styledDoc;
doc.setDocumentFilter(new DocumentSizeFilter(maxNumberOfCharacters ));
}

Override the
insertString
method of the document in the JTextPane
so that it doesn't insert any more characters once the maximum has been reached.
For example:
JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane(new DefaultStyledDocument() {
@Override
public void insertString(int offs, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException {
if ((getLength() + str.length()) <= maxNumberOfCharacters) {
super.insertString(offs, str, a);
}
else {
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
}
}
});
Update:
You can change your class as follows:
public class EndCycleTextAreaRenderer extends JTextPane implements TableCellRenderer {
private final int maxNumberOfCharacters = 200;
public EndCycleTextAreaRenderer() {
setStyledDocument(new DefaultStyledDocument() {
@Override
public void insertString(int offs, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException {
if ((getLength() + str.length()) <= maxNumberOfCharacters) {
super.insertString(offs, str, a);
} else {
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
}
}
});
}
}
