A Simple jTextPane Problem

[mm]

Hi all,

How do I code a jTextPane so that when a user clicks on (let say the
content of the jTextPane is "How are you?") the word "How" (only), that
word will appear in another jTextPane?

Any helps/samples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Hello.
May I ask if it's specifically a JTextPane that you want to use? Do you
know what the main difference between a JTextPane and a JTextArea is?

Hi Deniz,

Thanks for replying.

I think the main defference between JTextPane and JTextArea is that
JTextArea's content type is plain only, while JTextPane can be plain or
in HTML format (Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm new to Java). So I
think to put an action to the contents, JTextPane is more suitable than
JTextArea. But I have no idea how to do like in my first question.

Please help.

Thank You.

I have never worked with JEditorPane, nor its subclass JTextPane before,
but I reckon you could add a CaretListener to it and work with that.
Perhaps there's some better way to do it, that I don't know of.

Hope I could help.
