Have problems with text windows

[McBugzz]

I need to display some text (lots of text) in a window. The text must be scrollable, and it should be modified on each window resize operation.

I can't use JTextPane or any other Swing/AWT component that perfomes automatic formatting.

So I have decided to use JLabel. I can drop HTMLed text into it, and that's great, but so far I haven't found a way to scroll the text.

Also, I need to cut looong words (that don't fit into a line) so I need to be notified when the window is resized. How do I do that?

Please help.

Use a JTextArea, wrapped in a JScrollPane ...

But JTextArea doesn't allow formatting - it displays everything in the same font! And I need to display formatted!!! text.

But you said ou did not want formatting :

I can't use JTextPane or any other Swing/AWT component that perfomes automatic formatting.

Have you tried JEditorPane - this will display HTML ...

I didn't say I didn't want formatting. I said that I can't use it. For example, if a word is too long to fit in a single line, it is MY job to split it.

If you can't use formatting objects, then why do you care if a object does not use formatting (ie JTextArea).

Your requirements are seeming a little confusing to me. Either you want the component to format your text, or you don't ...

Perhaps if you elaborated a little more on the problem, we would be able to find you a solution ...

Here's the problem:

I need to display some text, with some markup applied to it. Also I have to take care of loooong words (that don't fit into a line) and other issues. These issues are handled automatically by JTextPane and some other components which I can't (i.e. have no permission) use. It's just that the task has been put this way. I can't do anything about it.
