Specify Font Size

[FLEMEF]

Hello All, I'm not very good at Java...

With this piece of Java code, how could I modify the StyleOptions.ja va program to allow the user to specify the size of the font, while using the text field to obtain the user’s input.

Thanks.

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

public class StyleOptionsPan el extends JPanel
{
private JLabel saying;
private JCheckBox bold, italic;


public StyleOptionsPan el()
{
saying = new JLabel ("Say it with style!");
saying.setFont (new Font ("Helvetica" , Font.PLAIN, 36));

bold = new JCheckBox ("Bold");
bold.setBackgro und (Color.cyan);
italic = new JCheckBox ("Italic");
italic.setBackg round (Color.cyan);


StyleListener listener = new StyleListener() ;
bold.addItemLis tener (listener);
italic.addItemL istener (listener);

add (saying);
add (bold);
add (italic);

setBackground (Color.cyan);
setPreferredSiz e (new Dimension(300, 100));
}

private class StyleListener implements ItemListener
{
//--------------------------------------------------------------
// Updates the style of the label font style.
//--------------------------------------------------------------
public void itemStateChange d (ItemEvent event)
{
int style = Font.PLAIN;

if (bold.isSelecte d())
style = Font.BOLD;

if (italic.isSelec ted())
style += Font.ITALIC;

saying.setFont (new Font ("Helvetica" , style, 36));
}
}
}

StyleOptionsPan el panel = new StyleOptionsPan el();
frame.getConten tPane().add (panel);

frame.pack();
frame.setVisibl e(true);

Maybe I missed the point, but you could add a button (or combo box or other thing) with a new listener....
