How to make Selected Text BOLD in textarea???

i am developing a notepad like application so i need a help that how to make selected text BOLD in textarea??

What's a 'textarea'?

db

textarea is a multiple line textfield.....

Since there isn't a class named 'textarea' (nor one named 'textfield' either) in the standard JDK -- neither in AWT or Swing, which are the subjects of discussion in this section -- you should ask wherever you got that class.

sorry its my mistake.....its not textarea its JTextArea.

Have you read the API for JTextArea? What's the first sentence in the class description? What's the second-last word in that sentence?

Go through the tutorial on Using Text Components (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components) to learn which class you should use instead.
