Abstract

A graphical user interface (GUI) application executed on a computer system is provided that generates a text component in a graphical user interface (GUI). Initially, a user interface style is selected for the text component displayed on a GUI. This can be automatically selected by the GUT application or a user. The GUI application then delegates implementation of the user interface style within the text component to a text user interface object and delegates implementation of a text editor within the text component to an editor kit object. The editor kit object generates the text editor for the text component customized according to the type of text being edited. The text user interface object then displays the text component and the text editor with the selected user interface style.
