[tikoze]

Is there a way to center text in JTextArea?

//use inset
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
class jt extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
JTextArea chatText;
JButton jb;
public jt()
{
super("jt");
jb = new JButton("click");
JPanel p = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
chatText = new JTextArea("one\ntwo\nthreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"+
"eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee",10, 30);
chatText.setMargin(new Insets(50,50,50,50));
chatText.setLineWrap(true);
chatText.setEditable(true);
//chatText.setForeground(Color.white);
//chatText.setBackground(new Color(80,0,0));

JScrollPane chatTextPane = new JScrollPane();
chatTextPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER );
chatTextPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
JViewport vp = chatTextPane.getViewport();
vp.add(chatText);
p.add(chatTextPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
getContentPane().add(p,BorderLayout.CENTER);
getContentPane().add(jb,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
try {
System.out.println(chatText.getLineStartOffset(2));
System.out.println(chatText.getLineEndOffset(2));
System.out.println( (chatText.getText()).substring(chatText.getLineStartOffset(2),chatText.getLineEndOffset(2)) );
}
catch (BadLocationException be)
{System.out.println("invalid line no");}
jb.addActionListener(this);
}
public boolean isManagingFocus() // all your JComponents should have this method overidden like this if you want to manage focus yourself
{
return true;
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{
try {
System.out.println(chatText.getLineStartOffset(2));
System.out.println(chatText.getLineEndOffset(2));
System.out.println( (chatText.getText()).substring(chatText.getLineStartOffset(2),chatText.getLineEndOffset(2)) ); // get third line by finding the second new line character
}
catch (BadLocationException be)
{System.out.println("invalid line no");}
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
jt jtObj = new jt();
jtObj.setSize(400,400);
jtObj.setVisible(true);
}
}

prosper,

If you post code, its a little easier on the eye if you use the TGML tags :
