JTextArea in JTextPane - Want new line

I want to add text to a JTextArea, and to have an auto scrollbar on vertical.

but when typing horizonally, I want an auto new line when there is no space in line.. If I use only JTextArea it's OK, but when I put it in a JScrollPane, it is not make a new line when needed.

How can I do that?

Thanks!

Solution

  • you have to configure the textArea to wrap:

    textArea.setLineWrap(true);
textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
