    Default How to make a FontChooser return a font in a Notepad.

    I'm making a Notepad. I'm making the components to it one at a time.

    Though not 100% functional yet, I have an idea of what it'll do. However, I can't get it to return a Font directly, or, more accurately, to know when the OK button in the font chooser has been hit in the JFontChooser so it'll return a Font instead of null, which it'll return if I tell it to get the selectedFont right away, or it'll always return the default that the font chooser originally starts with.

    Any ideas how to resolve this dilemma of trying to return a Font from the font chooser and not return the default every time, or even worse, return null always.



    ----Edit-------



    Hmmmm, what if I told it to only set the Font to the getSelectedFont() after the Ok button was hit (and set up handlers if the Cancel Button or the X out button are hit instead to avoid a Null Pointer Exception. Will that work?)

    I'm going to try it. I'll be needed help later on this Notepad for sure. Especially with the Tabs when I make it a tabbed notepad later.

    However, I have to make sure that it's not out of scope when the Ok button is hit, but only merely invisible, especially as the JFontChooser is a Singleton, though it shouldn't matter whether it is or not.

    Ok, here's a problem. I have trouble figuring out GroupLayout. I was able to add two JTextFields and two JLabels but when I tried to add some JButtons and stuff, it started throwing IlegalStateExceptions. So I just merely told it to add but it still won't show up.

    Also, I added the components that I'd like to add, though I may come up with more later, but anyway, I put them into a JPanel and showed them with a JFrame. I can't even get the layout of this new JPanel to show three buttons on one level and one checkbox below it. All I get at best is a 2 by 2.

          public JTextArea getTextArea()

          public JScrollPane getScrollPane()
          {
             return scrollPane;
          }
     
     
     
          public static void main(String[] args)
          {
             TextBasedDocumentMenu tbdm = new TextBasedDocumentMenu();
             tbdm.setVisible(true);
             JFrame jf = new JFrame();
             jf.setContentPane(tbdm);
             jf.setVisible(true);
     
          }
     
     
     
     
       }

    The problem is in the TextBasedDocumentMenu class, I only included the other two to make it compile and fully run without having to delete code.
