Apart from this operation it seems that overall JEditorPane and JTextPane are more powerful and high-level and thus often more simple to use than JTextArea. So it seems that usually to display text one would prefer JEditorPane or JTextPane. I still would appreciate if someone knew even other examples than obtaining a count of lines for when to prefer JTextArea. --- * Synchronet * The Whitehouse BBS --- whitehouse.hulds.com --- check it out free usenet! --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
