Resize JTextPane

Question

I am a beginner in Java, and I just found this piece of code in the StackOverflow: ResizeTextArea.

I want to use JTextPaneinstead JTextArea. There is JTextPaneno method setRows()to change the number of rows. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The height of individual lines in StyledDocumentcan vary, so the concept of limit lines in is JTextPanenot useful. You can limit the preferred size of the scroll view to some useful fraction of the main panel size, as shown below and below.

: @camickr, getPreferredSize() JScrollPane. , : ¹/ ₃.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextPane;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
import javax.swing.event.DocumentEvent;
import javax.swing.event.DocumentListener;
