Hi KC, This one's a pretty good jumpstart :) http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/text/editor_kit/index.html Prakash -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 8:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Customized Editor Good Day, Ok, what I need is basically a JEditorPane derivitive that can syntax highlight a given file type. I just started peering at the thing, and there are TextComponents, EditorKits, and about three kinds Documents all floating around like some kind of soup. The online help, well, doesn't, and I can't find anything on the web either. I realize it may be a fair undertaking, so I don't expect a full-fledged example, but more of a rough outline would even suffice. If anyone knows which class(es) / methods I need to mess with even, it would be a great help! Also, if you know any good web resources on the topic, I'd be glad to hear about them! -KC _______________________________________________ Advanced-swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
