I have a JDialog with a JList on it wherin if something is selected in the
JList, and a JButton ("Add") is clicked, it inserts the String selected in
the JList into a JTextPane residing in a componenent which invoked my
JDialog. All works fine. However, after inserting the text into the
JTextPane, I am trying to advance the cursor to right after the inserted
text. For some reason, I am not able to do this using the following code.

This shouldn't be so hard, should it, lol? Does anyone see where I am
screwing this up? -Ike

class MyActionListener implements ActionListener{
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
           //called when "add" button hit
           if(ae.getActionCommand().equals("OK")){
               int i = wordprocessorpanel.m_monitor.getCaretPosition();
               String s = (String)jList1.getSelectedValue();
               MoveCursor ob=new MoveCursor(wordprocessorpanel,i,s);
               SwingUtilities.invokeLater(ob);
         }
   }

class MoveCursor implements  Runnable{
       Thread t;
       WordProcessorPanel wordprocessorpanel;
//wordprocessorpanel.m_monitor is the JTextPane
       int i;
       String s;
       MoveCursor(WordProcessorPanel wordprocessorpanel, int i, String s){
           this.wordprocessorpanel=wordprocessorpanel;
           this.i=i;
           this.s=s;
           t = new Thread(this, "MoveCursor");
       }
       public void run(){
           try{
               wordprocessorpanel.m_monitor.grabFocus();

wordprocessorpanel.m_monitor.getStyledDocument().insertString(i,s,null);
               int e = i+s.length();
               wordprocessorpanel.m_monitor.moveCaretPosition(e);//creates
a selection from i to e

wordprocessorpanel.m_monitor.moveCaretPosition(e);//selection is now null
               wordprocessorpanel.m_monitor.setCaretPosition(e);
               System.out.println("moving fro "+i+" to "+e);
           }catch(javax.swing.text.BadLocationException bel){
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(wordprocessorpanel, "You must
specify a location in the document to insesrt this field.",
               "File Insert",
               JOptionPane.OK_OPTION);
           }
       }
   }
