Javax.swing.JTextPane - COLOR Problem

Question

Hi
I am using javax.swing.JTextPane object to display text recieved from two servers.
How can I make messages recieved from Server 1 to be in RED and while from Server 2
to be in Green? i.e. the window should look...
(red) Server 1 says ta ta
(green) Server 2 says Hello
My code looks....
javax.swing.JTextPane WINDOW;
String message1 = connection1.getMessage();
..........// What code should I put here??? to make this message look RED??
..........// Color of previous text should remain as it is...
WINDOW.setText(WINDOW.getText() + message1);An Example would be highly appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
that is the wrong way - try this method in your JTextPane subclass
public void appendText(String s,Color col) {
StyledDocument sd = getStyledDocument();
SimpleAttributeSet attr = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setForground(attr,col);
try { sd.insertString(sd.getLength(),s,attr); }
catch (BadLocationException e) {}
} // end of methodand use it in your code like that
WINDOW.appendText(message1,Color.red);
hope that helps
