javax.swing.text.NavigationFilter
NavigationFilter can be used to restrict where the cursor can
be positioned. When the default cursor positioning actions attempt to
reposition the cursor they will call into the
NavigationFilter, assuming
the JTextComponent has a non-null
NavigationFilter set. In this manner
the NavigationFilter can effectively restrict where the
cursor can be positioned. Similarly DefaultCaret will call
into the NavigationFilter when the user is changing the
selection to further restrict where the cursor can be positioned.
Subclasses can conditionally call into supers implementation to restrict
where the cursor can be placed, or call directly into the
FilterBypass.

getNextVisualPositionFrom
public int getNextVisualPositionFrom(JTextComponent text, int pos, Position.Bias bias, int direction, Position.Bias[] biasRet) throws BadLocationException Returns the next visual position to place the caret at from an existing position. The default implementation simply forwards the method to the root View. Subclasses may wish to further restrict the location based on additional criteria.- Parameters:
text- JTextComponent containing textpos- Position used in determining next positionbias- Bias used in determining next positiondirection- the direction from the current position that can be thought of as the arrow keys typically found on a keyboard. This will be one of the following values:- SwingConstants.WEST
- SwingConstants.EAST
- SwingConstants.NORTH
- SwingConstants.SOUTH
biasRet- Used to return resulting Bias of next position- Returns:
- the location within the model that best represents the next location visual position
- Throws:
BadLocationException- for a bad location within a document modelIllegalArgumentException- ifdirectiondoesn't have one of the legal values above
