I have a JTextArea in which a user types SQL Commands. I'd like to provide a token-completion feature i.e when the user types CTRL-space I want to bring up a window with a list box of certain database object names (similar to what JBuilder provides in the editor). My problem is where to position this window. How can I go from the caret location of the JTextArea to the x-y coordinates needed to position the window? TIA. George
