How to Use Text Area

Kelas JTextArea class menyediakan komponen yang menampilkan multibaris teks dan bila perlu user juga dapat diijinkan mengedit teks. Contoh, lihat lagi contoh project TextDemo,yang bisa menambahkan teks dari text ield ke text area.

Kode pada method actionPerformed pada Text!ield t "

private void tfActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) { // TODO add your handlin code here! "trin te#t $ tf. etTe#t()% ta.append(te#t & newline)% tf.'electAll()% //(a)e 'ure the new te#t i' vi'i*le+ even if there //wa' a 'election in the te#t area. ta.'et,aretPo'ition(ta. etDocument(). et-en th())% .

Kode untuk menciptakan dan inisialisasi text area adalah"

// ver'i 0et1ean'! tf $ new java#.'win .2Te#t3ield()% j"crollPane4 $ new java#.'win .2"crollPane()% ta $ new java#.'win .2Te#tArea()% ta.'et,olumn'(56)% ta.'etEdita*le(fal'e)% ta.'et7ow'(8)% j"crollPane4.'et9iewport9iew(ta)% //

Tanpa penciptaan scroll pane, text area tidak secara otomatis bisa scroll. Text area secara de ault adalah editable. Kode set#ditable$ alse% menjadikan tidak dapat diedit. Kode berikut menambah teks ke text area. &ebagai catatan sistem teks menggunakan karakter '(n' secara internal untuk me)akili ne)lines*
private final 'tatic "trin newline $ :;n:% ... te#tArea.append(te#t & newline)%

Anda dapat menjadikan text area untuk scroll ke ba)ah dengan memindahkan caret ke akhir text area setelah pemanggilan append.

Another Example: TextAreaDemo

The Te#tAreaDemo example introduces an editable text area with a special feature a word completion function. As the user types in words, the program suggests hints to complete the word whenever the program s vocabulary contains a word that starts with what has been typed. !ere is a picture of the Te#tAreaDemo application.

This example provides a scrolling capacity for the text area with the default scroll bar policy. #y default, the vertical scroll bar only appears when the display area is entirely filled with text and there is no room to append new words. $ou can provide a scroll pane of this type with the following code:
te#tArea.'etDrap"tyleDord(true)% j"crollPane4 $ new 2"crollPane(te#tArea)%

As mentioned above, the text area is editable. $ou can play with the text area by typing and pasting text, or by deleting some parts of text or the entire content. Also try using standard %ey bindings for editing text within the text area. &ow explore how the word completion function is implemented. Type in a word li%e '(wing' or 'special'. As soon as you have typed 'sw' the program shows a possible completion 'ing' highlighted in light)blue. *ress +nter to accept the completion or continue typing. The following code adds a document listener to the text area s document:
te#tArea. etDocument().addDocument-i'tener(thi')%

,hen you started typing a word, the in'ertGpdate method chec%s whether the program s vocabulary contains the typed prefix. -nce a completion for the prefix is found, a call to the invo)e-ater method submits a tas% for changing the document later. .t is important to remember that you cannot modify the document from within the document event notification, otherwise you will get an exception. +xamine the following code below.
"trin prefi# $ content.'u*'trin (w & 4).to-ower,a'e()% int n $ ,ollection'.*inary"earch(word'+ prefi#)% if (n @ 6 LL Kn @$ word'.'iFe()) { "trin match $ word'. et(Kn K 4)%

if (match.'tart'Dith(prefi#)) { // A completion i' found "trin completion $ match.'u*'trin (po' K w)% // De cannot modify Document from within notification+ // 'o we 'u*mit a ta') that doe' the chan e later "win Gtilitie'.invo)e-ater( new ,ompletionTa')(completion+ po' & 4))% . . el'e { // 0othin found mode $ (ode.>0"E7T% .

The code shown in bold illustrates how the selection is created. The caret is first set to the end of the complete word, then moved bac% to a position after the last character typed. The move,aretPo'ition method not only moves the caret to a new position but also selects the text between the two positions. The completion tas% is implemented with the following code:
private cla'' ,ompletionTa') implement' 7unna*le { "trin completion% int po'ition% ,ompletionTa')("trin completion+ int po'ition) { thi'.completion $ completion% thi'.po'ition $ po'ition% . pu*lic void run() { te#tArea.in'ert(completion+ po'ition)% textArea.setCaretPosition(position + completion.length()); textArea.moveCaretPosition(position); mode $ (ode.,O(P-ET>O0% . .
