How to make JTextArea automatically size adjustable

Thread view: 
johnson - 21 Nov 2003 19:45 GMT
Hi,

I would like to make a JTextArea automatically size adjustable.

Specifically, for example, if I have a JTextArea, I'd like to
setText()
at runtime and then have the textArea adjust its size to display all
its text (SCROLLING IS NOT ALLOWED TO USE HERE). After that I can get
its preferredSize and adjust the outer container's preferred size
accordingly.

Is this possible at all or is there any other text container capable
to do the job?

Thanks!

A JLabel given an html string should size itself
to fit the text.
