Using DocumentFilter.FilterBypass

Question

I want to have a method like this on my DocumentFilter

public void replaceUpdate(int offset, int length, String text) {
        try {
                   


        

Answer 1

I liked @hovercraft's solution, but it gave me concurrency issues. I solved this by synchronizing the filter toggling on the text area. Like this:

synchronized (textArea) {
    myDocFilter.setFilter(false);
    textArea.append("12345\n");
    myDocFilter.setFilter(true);
}
