Setting font in TextField
I`m trying to change the font in a text field,
but it won`t compile. This is what I did:<br><br>Font
boldFont = new Font ("Courier", Font.BOLD,
12);<br>errorF.setFont(boldFont);<br><br>The error
is:<br>C:JavaComputerScienceSemester2courseworkstudentsProjListRecFrame.jav
a:55: &lt;identifier&gt;
expected<br> errorF.setFont(boldFont);<br>
^<br>C:JavaComputerScienceSemester2courseworkstudentsProjListRecFrame.java:
55: cannot resolve symbol<br>symbol : class setFont
<br>location: package errorF<br> errorF.setFont(boldFont);<br>
^<br>2 errors<br><br>Can anyone help?

Oops, actually it`s a TextArea - but probably doesn`t make any difference?

In your error message:<br>symbol : class setFont
<br>location: package
errorF<br>errorF.setFont(boldFont);<br><br>It appears as if the setFont method
is being
interpreted as a class, and the TextArea object is being
interpreted as a package. Double check your package, class
and object definitions.

Whenever you see something like
this:<br><br>errorF.setFont(boldFont);<br>^<br><br>The ^, or caret is usu.
pointing at the problem. In
this case, the interpreter doesn`t recognize the
variable errorF.<br><br>The other poster on this topic is
correct. Go check your declaration for errorF. Look for
bad spelling or package typo.<br><br>epenak

Thanks. The problem was that "errorF.setFont(boldFont);" got put with the
instance vars by mistake, instead of in the constructor - dumb of me...
