public class JTextArea extends JTextComponent
A JTextArea
is a multi-line area that displays plain text. It is intended to be a lightweight component that provides source compatibility with the java.awt.TextArea
class where it can reasonably do so. You can find information and examples of using all the text components in Using Text Components, a section in The Java Tutorial.
This component has capabilities not found in the java.awt.TextArea
class. The superclass should be consulted for additional capabilities. Alternative multi-line text classes with more capabilities are JTextPane
and JEditorPane
.
The java.awt.TextArea
internally handles scrolling. JTextArea
is different in that it doesn't manage scrolling, but implements the swing Scrollable
interface. This allows it to be placed inside a JScrollPane
if scrolling behavior is desired, and used directly if scrolling is not desired.
The java.awt.TextArea
has the ability to do line wrapping. This was controlled by the horizontal scrolling policy. Since scrolling is not done by JTextArea
directly, backward compatibility must be provided another way. JTextArea
has a bound property for line wrapping that controls whether or not it will wrap lines. By default, the line wrapping property is set to false (not wrapped).
java.awt.TextArea
has two properties rows
and columns
that are used to determine the preferred size. JTextArea
uses these properties to indicate the preferred size of the viewport when placed inside a JScrollPane
to match the functionality provided by java.awt.TextArea
. JTextArea
has a preferred size of what is needed to display all of the text, so that it functions properly inside of a JScrollPane
. If the value for rows
or columns
is equal to zero, the preferred size along that axis is used for the viewport preferred size along the same axis.
The java.awt.TextArea
could be monitored for changes by adding a TextListener
for TextEvent
s. In the JTextComponent
based components, changes are broadcasted from the model via a DocumentEvent
to DocumentListeners
. The DocumentEvent
gives the location of the change and the kind of change if desired. The code fragment might look something like:
DocumentListener myListener = ??; JTextArea myArea = ??; myArea.getDocument().addDocumentListener(myListener);
- Newlines
- For a discussion on how newlines are handled, see DefaultEditorKit.
Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.
Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the java.beans
package. Please see XMLEncoder

rows
- the number of rows >= 0 - Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if rows is less than 0 - See Also:
getRows()
getRowHeight

- Returns:
- the column width >= 1
getPreferredSize
public Dimension getPreferredSize()
Returns the preferred size of the TextArea. This is the maximum of the size needed to display the text and the size requested for the viewport.

- See Also:
-
JComponent.setPreferredSize(java.awt.Dimension)
,ComponentUI
setFont
public void setFont(Font f)
Sets the current font. This removes cached row height and column width so the new font will be reflected, and calls revalidate().

Component.getFont()
paramString
protected String paramString()
Returns a string representation of this JTextArea. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null
.

- Returns:
- a string representation of this JTextArea.
getScrollableTracksViewportWidth
public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportWidth()
Returns true if a viewport should always force the width of this Scrollable to match the width of the viewport. This is implemented to return true if the line wrapping policy is true, and false if lines are not being wrapped.

in classJTextComponent
- Returns:
- true if a viewport should force the Scrollables width to match its own.
getPreferredScrollableViewportSize
public Dimension getPreferredScrollableViewportSize()
Returns the preferred size of the viewport if this component is embedded in a JScrollPane. This uses the desired column and row settings if they have been set, otherwise the superclass behavior is used.
- Specified by:
-
getPreferredScrollableViewportSize
in interfaceScrollable
- Overrides:
-
getPreferredScrollableViewportSize
in classJTextComponent

getScrollableUnitIncrement
public int getScrollableUnitIncrement(Rectangle visibleRect, int orientation, int direction)
Components that display logical rows or columns should compute the scroll increment that will completely expose one new row or column, depending on the value of orientation. This is implemented to use the values returned by the getRowHeight

-
getScrollableUnitIncrement
in classJTextComponent
- Parameters:

-
IllegalArgumentException
- for an invalid orientation - See Also:
-
JScrollBar.setUnitIncrement(int)
,getRowHeight()

getAccessibleContext
public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this JTextArea. For JTextAreas, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleJTextArea. A new AccessibleJTextArea instance is created if necessary.
