1) how can I set Cursor to 0 possition without using Caret or Focus wrapped into invokeLater() (confortly can be solved by using @camickr <a href="http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2010/02/21/formatted-text-field-tips/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Formatted Text Field Tips</a>), is there somebody who knows another way

Code:
