Hi,
Here's an example which displays text in different colors onto a JEditorPane and a JTextPane.
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ColorDemo extends JFrame {
public ColorDemo() {
super("ColorDemo");
// coloured JEditorPane
JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane("text/html",
"<FONT color=red> This </FONT>"+
"<FONT color=blue> is </FONT>"+
"<FONT color=green> a </FONT>"+
"<B> JEditorPane </B>");
editorPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
// coloured JTextPane
JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
textPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
Document doc = textPane.getDocument();
Style def = StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext().
getStyle(StyleContext.DEFAULT_STYLE);
try {
StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.blue);
doc.insertString (0, "This ", def);
StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.red);
doc.insertString (5, "is ", def);
StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.green);
doc.insertString (8, "a ", def);
StyleConstants.setBold(def, true);
StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.black);
doc.insertString (10, "JTextPane", def);
} catch (Exception e) {}
JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.add(textPane);
contentPane.add(editorPane);
setContentPane(contentPane);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new ColorDemo();
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
Hope this helps,
Kurt.
