Hello,

I have a code like this

public class Doc extends DefaultStyledDocument{
}

Doc doc= new Doc();
doc.insertString(0, "This is a working document", null);
AbstractDocument.AbstractElement rootElement = doc.createDefaultRoot();

Once I create a root element how do I assign or set its value from the doc string.Currently the element is blank.

thnaks

hello
thanks for your reply
I am using swing libraries and there i am able to create a leaf or a branch of a document but the leafelement doesnt seem to get added to the default root .

public class MyDoc extends DefaultStyledDocument  {

protected void insertUpdate(AbstractDocument.DefaultDocumentEvent e,
            AttributeSet attr){				
Element root = getDefaultRootElement(); 
Element branchroot = new BranchElement(root, null);
branchroot = createBranchElement(root,null);
Element leafElement = new LeafElement(branchroot, null, 0,0);
leafElement = createLeafElement(branchroot,null,"p");
}


public Element createBranchElement(Element parent,AttributeSet a) 
{
   return super.createBranchElement(parent, a);
}

protected Element createLeafElement(Element parent,AttributeSet a, String arg) throws BadLocationException 
{
return super.createLeafElement(parent, null, startOffset(arg),startOffset(arg)+5);
//complete code createleaf not written 
}		

}
