Java JTextField Text Bold

Java JTextField is a GUI component that allows users to enter and edit text. One of its features is the ability to make the text within the component bold. In this guide, we will go over how to set the text in a JTextField to be bold in Java.

Setting JTextField Text Bold

To make the text in a JTextField bold, we first need to create an instance of the JTextField component.

JTextField textField = new JTextField();

Next, we need to create an instance of the font that we want to use for the text. We can do this by calling the Font constructor and passing in the font family, style, and size.

Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 14);

In this example, we are using the Arial font family with a bold style and a font size of 14.

We can then set the font of the JTextField component to the one we just created using the setFont method.

textField.setFont(font);

This sets the font of the text within the JTextField component to be bold using the font we just created.

Full Example

Here is a full example of how to create a JTextField component with bold text in Java:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("JTextField Bold Text");
    frame.setSize(300, 200);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));

    JTextField textField = new JTextField();
    Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 14);
    textField.setFont(font);

    frame.add(textField);
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
}

This code creates a JFrame with a JTextField component that has bold text using the Arial font family, bold style, and a font size of 14.
