DefaultStyledDocument array problem

Thread view:

Ed - 15 May 2006 19:41 GMT

In Class PublishStats I have instantiated an array

<<DefaultStyledDocument[] docmnt = new DefaultStyledDocument[20];>>

In method "public void UpdateFields" I have declared

<<DefaultStyledDocument doc = "";>>

Now I trying to fill the array with DefaultStyledDocuments doc1 through
doc20 so I can load each with formatted Strings.

<<
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
docmnt[i] = (doc + (i + 1));
}

The above will not compile - says I cannot use the concatination symbol "+".

What am I doing wrong?

Well, just what the error message tells you - you cannot use the
concatenation
operator (That's only valid for instances of String).

A DefaultStyledDocument is not a String. It is not text; it is pattern
describing

Perhaps you are trying to concatenate a String representation of a number
to the text contained within some portion of the document?
If so, see the getText() and insertText() methods of DefaultStyledDocument.
