Hi everyone,
I have a text area and a button on a frame and there's some text in the text area. What i need is when the user clicks the button whatever the text selected by the user in the text area and not all the text in the text area is bolded.
I am only using awt components and not any swing components.
Can someone show me or e-mail me a sample program or sample codings or part of the sample program on how this can be done.
My e-mail is [email]freesoft_2000@yahoo.com[/email]
I really hope someone can help me.
Thank you
Yours Sincerely
Richard West

I think you can use getSelectedText and setSelectedText methods of text area. I dont know about the awt components but I use them in swing.
