Simple STRING Question!

[Mike Smike]

Hi guys,

I've searched the forums and the API, but I can't find what I'm looking for!

I have say, a JTextArea, in which there are some strings. My problem is that I want the strings to be different colours. The only method I can find it the setForeGround(Color c) for the JTextArea, but this is no good as it colours all the text the same!

Surely there is a way to colour individual letters/words/strings differently??

If there isn't - please let me know. I found a post from 2001 asking something similar but with no answers! eek

Please help

Thanks for your time

Mike

The JEditorPane supports HTML and Rich Text:

Hi Mike,

- Take a look at
Using text Components

- jEditorPane (or jTextPane) should meet your needs.

Hope that helps,

Thankyou muchos amigos! Very much appreciated. I will have a look at these JEditorPane and JTextPane things.
