Regarding java.awt.TextArea

[ch praveen]

Hello Friends,
At present Iam using AWT to build an interface in an applet. I can't switch to Java Swings as every client may not have plugin to render swing components. So, I want to accomplish interface through AWT components only. Can anyone guide me how to display images in java.awt.TextArea and how to display text in different colors in java.awt.TextArea. Is there any alternate way to accomplish this through AWT?
Regards,
Ch.Praveen

Hi Praveen,
U cant display diff text in diff colors in a JTextArea. U can very well do it in JTextPane or JEditorPane. I hope with the image also the case. U cant do it in JTextArea and can do it in JTextPane or JEditorPane. Why cant u try out in JTextPane.....

Not easily. You might be able to write a custom AWT component to do this but I wouldn't want to try it.

Could it be because he said...
