Now you are in the realm of text components.
This is *the* most complex area of Swing.
You will need to find a good Swing book (there is no way I
could do it justice, here), then try using a custom document
(which implements javax.swing.text.StyledDocument) to call
setCharacterAttributes(int,int,javax.swing.text.AttributeSet,boolean)
Classes and interfaces that may be of interest, all in
javax.swing.text:
AttributeSet
Document
StyledDocument
Style
Also note that JTextField, JTextArea and
JPassword field do not support multiple text styles. You'll have to use
JEditorPane, or JTextPane.
The O'Reilly "Java Swing" book does have an example
of how to set different colours on text in a text component. That may be helpful
to you.
on, this subject...
there's something that I've wanted to do for a long
time.
multi-colored textfields.
I'm talking like have 4 letters in red, then 4 in
blue, then 4 in red, then 4 in blue.
not that I want to have that to do a word break
down of some hex values...
but I do.
Any clues how to do this?

Yes, that will do it.
But, if you want this to affect all JLabel components,
you need to change the UI default value for Label.foreground. To change
it to red:
javax.swing.UIManager.put
("Label.foreground", Color.red);
Alternatively you can set this via a custom
LookAndFeel class, which is what I do.
am I missing something?
maybe I just got done doing a radio show at 2:30am and I'm
back at work at 7:30am,
but:
JLabel label = new JLabel("hello
glory");
label.setForeground(Color.red);
that?
