String Bold

Is there a way to make my string bold?

I have a string:

Code:

---

String nameTitle = "Name: ";

---

Now how can I make that bold?

Strings are just that, strings. They don't have bold, font, or any other "properties". Now if you want to make a JLabel Bold, then that's different -- change the label's Font.

that's what i meant, thanks

You will find much help in the Java API and the Sun Swing Tutorials.

I recommend that you look at the JLabel API and the setFont(...) method. Then have a look at the Font API where you will see how to set the Font to bold. Then come on back if you still don't understand something there.

edit: If you aren't going to be setting anything more than the bold attribute, then have a look at deriveFont:

Code:

---

myLabel.setFont(myLabel.getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD));

---

Will do, thanks!
