stop horizontal scrolling in JTextArea

Question

I want to add a JTextArea to an application. Normally that textarea contains large content and both horizontal and vertical ScrollBars appear when running that application. I want to remove horizontal scrolling; I have found that it is possible with HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER field but then it does not show the complete contents (it doesn't wrapped horizontally and move content to next row). how to overcome this. I want to stop horizontal scrolling and put contents in next row without scrolling it on a row.

Answer 1

Try this:

yourJTextArea.setLineWrap(true);
yourJTextArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);

Answer 2

You can change the scroll bar policy:

JScrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);

This will disable the horizontal scroll bar
