Question

2.9k views Asked by Ali Ben Messaoud At 10 February 2011 at 08:45

I have a project, I'm creating an application in Java and I need text editor with sample functions (Bold, Italic, Size, Align, Undo, Redo).

So is there a class in Java for this purpose or a tutorial to show how to develop it?

I tried to style text in a jTextPane but when I change a word in bold, the whole text become in bold.

I want just to stylize the selected text only.

The Java Tutorial's TextComponentDemo illustrates many features such as undo/redo, styling selected text and binding key strokes to editing actions.
