Constructor Detail

TextArea

public TextArea()
         throws HeadlessException

Constructs a new text area with the empty string as text. This text area is created with scrollbar visibility equal to SCROLLBARS_BOTH, so both vertical and horizontal scrollbars will be visible for this text area.

Throws:

HeadlessException - if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless returns true

See Also:

GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()

TextArea

public TextArea(String text)
         throws HeadlessException

Constructs a new text area with the specified text. This text area is created with scrollbar visibility equal to SCROLLBARS_BOTH, so both vertical and horizontal scrollbars will be visible for this text area.

Parameters:

text - the text to be displayed; if text is null, the empty string "" will be displayed

Throws:

HeadlessException - if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless returns true

See Also:

GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()

TextArea

public TextArea(int rows,
                int columns)
         throws HeadlessException

Constructs a new text area with the specified number of rows and columns and the empty string as text. A column is an approximate average character width that is platform-dependent. The text area is created with scrollbar visibility equal to SCROLLBARS_BOTH, so both vertical and horizontal scrollbars will be visible for this text area.

Parameters:

rows - the number of rows

columns - the number of columns

Throws:

HeadlessException - if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless returns true

See Also:

GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()

TextArea

public TextArea(String text,
                int rows,
                int columns)
         throws HeadlessException

Constructs a new text area with the specified text, and with the specified number of rows and columns. A column is an approximate average character width that is platform-dependent. The text area is created with scrollbar visibility equal to SCROLLBARS_BOTH, so both vertical and horizontal scrollbars will be visible for this text area.

Parameters:

text - the text to be displayed; if text is null, the empty string "" will be displayed

rows - the number of rows

columns - the number of columns

Throws:

HeadlessException - if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless returns true

See Also:

GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()

TextArea

public TextArea(String text,
                int rows,
                int columns,
                int scrollbars)
         throws HeadlessException

Constructs a new text area with the specified text, and with the rows, columns, and scroll bar visibility as specified. All TextArea constructors defer to this one.

The TextArea class defines several constants that can be supplied as values for the scrollbars argument:

• SCROLLBARS_BOTH,
• SCROLLBARS_VERTICAL_ONLY,
• SCROLLBARS_HORIZONTAL_ONLY,
• SCROLLBARS_NONE.

Any other value for the scrollbars argument is invalid and will result in this text area being created with scrollbar visibility equal to the default value of SCROLLBARS_BOTH.

Parameters:

text - the text to be displayed; if text is null, the empty string "" will be displayed

rows - the number of rows; if rows is less than 0, rows is set to 0

columns - the number of columns; if columns is less than 0, columns is set to 0

scrollbars - a constant that determines what scrollbars are created to view the text area

Throws:

HeadlessException - if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless returns true

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()

Replaces text between the indicated start and end positions with the specified replacement text. The text at the end position will not be replaced. The text at the start position will be replaced (unless the start position is the same as the end position). The text position is zero-based. The inserted substring may be of a different length than the text it replaces.

Note that passing null or inconsistent parameters is invalid and will result in unspecified behavior.
