TextArea and different colors? is it possible?

Hi again,

you can use SimpleAttributeSet to specify the textattributes like font and colors. To append the document, you get first the document by the getStyledDocument()-method of the JTextPane and then append it by using the insertString-method of the document with postion, text and your attributeset.

Hope this will help you

P.S.: Don't know much about the heavy-weight non-swing-components, I normally use swing.

ok, here is one example - it sets some Attrbutes in an array of 17 SimpleAttributeSets - this array is declared outside this method as SimpleAttributeset [] attr = new SimpleAttributeSet[17];

public void initAttrSet(int fontsize) {

attr[0]=new SimpleAttributeSet();

StyleConstants.setFontFamily(attr[0],"Courier New");

StyleConstants.setFontSize(attr[0],fontsize);

StyleConstants.setForeground(attr[0],Color.lightGray);

StyleConstants.setBackground(attr[0],Color.black);

attr[1]=new SimpleAttributeSet(attr[0]);

StyleConstants.setForeground(attr[1],Color.red);

attr[2]=new SimpleAttributeSet(attr[0]);

StyleConstants.setForeground(attr[2],Color.green);

attr[3]=new SimpleAttributeSet(attr[0]);

StyleConstants.setForeground(attr[3],Color.yellow);

// and so on ....

}

Hope this will help now

greetings Marsian

P.S.: if you wonder, why the background is black - I use it in a mud-client for a science fiction mud, there black background is more atmospheric :)

Hi again,

it is a german mud called finalfrontier - but I am not a Q, I am player - I just wrote my own client with integrated programming language, JIT-Compiler, virtual machine and such things. In finalfrontier it is forbiddden to use scripts and automatic triggers, so I had to find an other way to use this things in a mud-conform manner. I can't use the features of zmud there, so I had to do it my own way.

greetings Marsian

P.S.: if you will visit this mud, you will find me in the genetic guild - I am DNA-master of the biogenetic institute in Rat~Leihfi on planet Ch~Rihan in the Taladon system - ofcourse, as Marsian
