How to extend number of lines in TextArea?

[xabu]

Hello out there...

After a certain number of lines you can´t write more on a TextArea. How can I extend the number of lines in a TextArea?

Thank you for your answers

use setRows(int rows) -- all this is contained i your javadocs, which you should have got when you got your development kit ;-)

Thank you for your answer. But thats not what I ment.
Probably I didn´t make my self clear enough.
You can even set the number of rows to 1000 but still iyou won´t be able to wirte more than a certain number of signs.
It just cuts.

Oh, a JTextArea? You need to add it to a ScrollPane - so the scrollbars appear. Is this what you mean? I think an awt TextArea automatically scrolls?

Thank you for your answer!

It´s ture that a TextArea automatically scrolls but still after a certain number of signs (letters) you just can´t write more even if you have scrollbars. There seems to be a limit of maximum signs (letters)!
