Changing Fonts in Java TextField.

Antoni · May 10, 2004

Hello,

I just wondered if anyone had an a Java example which demonstrated the
editing of text in a JTextfield.

I was hoping to include a font button, font size and buttons to
underline and bold the JTextField content.

Thanks

I take it you mean the font face,
font size, italic, bold?

Rather than 'cat' -> 'mat'?

underline and bold the JTextField content.

JTextFields are not designed for formatted data
and the user would find it quite disconcerting.
If you want such effects it is often better to
do them in a component like JEditorPane, or
JLabel, either of which can accept <HTML>.

Oh, and BTW.. these guys are hacks
when it comes to GUI's, see instead..
