Hi,
I am trying to get a text editor going and I am having a few problems with
CheckboxMenuItem, I want to create a CheckboxMenuItem which allows the user
to select if the font is plain,bold, or italic and to deselect plan if
italic or bold is select and vice versa.
The code complies but when I click on plain for instance italic and bold are
still ticked. I have used the following code (all of my code is in the
attachment)

public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent event) /*also tried same code in
public void actionPerformed
(ActionEvent e)*/


 CheckboxMenuItem item = (CheckboxMenuItem)event.getSource();

 if (item.equals(fontPlain)) file://try putting text strings in i.e.
"Plain"etc
fontPlain
    {
         fontPlain.setState(true);
        fontItalic.setState(false);
        fontBold.setState(false);
        repaint(); file://friend suggested
     }
}

I have declared fontPlain as "private CheckboxMenuItem fontPlain = new
CheckboxMenuItem("Plan");" and set it on the menu by
"  MenuItem fontPlain = new CheckboxMenuItem("Plain",true); file://insure
that
var is "true"
  fontPlain.addActionListener(this);
  fontStyle.add(fontPlain);"
I believe that this is my main problem is that the menu is not refreshing
but I do not know how to fix it


Many Thanks
