-
Constructs a new text area with the empty string as text. This text area is created with scrollbar visibility equal to
SCROLLBARS_BOTH
, so both vertical and horizontal scrollbars will be visible for this text area.
-
Throws:
-
HeadlessException
- if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless returns true
-
See Also:
-
GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()
TextArea
public TextArea(String text)
throws HeadlessException
-
Constructs a new text area with the specified text. This text area is created with scrollbar visibility equal to
SCROLLBARS_BOTH
, so both vertical and horizontal scrollbars will be visible for this text area.
-
Parameters:
-
text - the text to be displayed; if text is null, the empty string "" will be displayed
-
Throws:
-
HeadlessException
- if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless returns true
-
See Also:
-
GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()
TextArea
public TextArea(int rows,
int columns)
throws HeadlessException
-
Constructs a new text area with the specified number of rows and columns and the empty string as text. A column is an approximate average character width that is platform-dependent. The text area is created with scrollbar visibility equal to
SCROLLBARS_BOTH
, so both vertical and horizontal scrollbars will be visible for this text area.
-
Parameters:
-
rows - the number of rows
-
columns - the number of columns
-
Throws:
-
HeadlessException
- if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless returns true

int rows,
int columns)
throws HeadlessException
-
Constructs a new text area with the specified text, and with the specified number of rows and columns. A column is an approximate average character width that is platform-dependent. The text area is created with scrollbar visibility equal to

public TextArea(String text,
int rows,
int columns,
int scrollbars)
throws HeadlessException
-
Constructs a new text area with the specified text, and with the rows, columns, and scroll bar visibility as specified. All TextArea constructors defer to this one.
The TextArea class defines several constants that can be supplied as values for the scrollbars argument:
-
SCROLLBARS_BOTH,
-
SCROLLBARS_VERTICAL_ONLY,
-
SCROLLBARS_HORIZONTAL_ONLY,
-
SCROLLBARS_NONE.
Any other value for the scrollbars argument is invalid and will result in this text area being created with scrollbar visibility equal to the default value of
SCROLLBARS_BOTH
.
-
Parameters:
-
text - the text to be displayed; if text is null, the empty string "" will be displayed
-
rows - the number of rows; if rows is less than 0, rows is set to 0

-
Since:
-
JDK1.1
-
See Also:
-
