Java Questions...

[alaios]

Hi i am trying to learn Java but i have some problems... If you can help me ...

I want to know how i can show dynamicaly the fonts provided by my operating System in a choise (Fonts =new Choice()?

I want also need a choice for changing the colors of a string... I know how to create some colors in the choice...
Choice Fontcolor=new Choice();
Fontcolor.addItem("Red");
Fontcolor.addItem("Blue");

Do u know something better than this? For example something that i can use it immediately for changing the color.... I was thinkink if it is possible instead of text colors ..... to use colored lines in the choice... Is this possible?

Finally how i can change the color of a String?
I have a String inside a TextArea...i can;t find any option for this? Any suggestion?
Thx

For the TextArea, I think you have to use setForeground() to change the colour of the text. A String doesn't have a color property, neither does Font (to my knowledge..).

I don't know of anyway to 'loop through' the available fonts on the system. You pretty much have to know the name of the font you want.

You may want to use a color chooser as opposed to the dropdown thing you've got. Take a look at this tutorial:

Hope that helps,
Sadiq.

thx again.... Of course it wil be veru helpful if someone knew ... how i could change the color of the Text

You'd change the colour of the TextArea's foreground using setForeground() to change the colour of the text.

If you're drawing a string to the screen, you need to set the colour of the Graphics object you're using.
