How can I change the text color without changing the rectangle color ?

Java

private static class RectDraw extends JPanel
	{
		protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
	        super.paintComponent(g);  
	         g.drawRect(20,5,330,25);  
	         g.setColor(Color.GRAY);  
	         g.fillRect(20,5,330,25); 
	         g.drawString("movie Sceen", 50, 10);
	        }

What I have tried:

I have drawn a rectangle with gray color. Now I would like to add a "movie screen" text which is blue color inside the rectangle. How can I achieve this ? Thanks.

Just a guess - have you tried calling setColor a second time, between the fillRect and drawString calls?

Nope. You mean g.fillRect(20,5,330,25);
g.setColor(Color.BLUE);
g.drawString("movie Sceen", 50, 10); ?

That's what I'd try. :)

As mentioned in the comments, a second call to setColor solves the issue:

Java

g.fillRect(20,5,330,25);
g.setColor(Color.BLUE);
g.drawString("movie Sceen", 50, 10);

Not a bad guess for someone who doesn't "do" Java! :)
