Example I create 1 TextArea with width = 400, height = 40. When enter Text into TextArea if width of text or height of text greater than width or height of TextArea then appear Scrollbar. Please help me.

Read the API documentation for the constructors of a TextArea; there is one that allows you to specify the absence of scrollbars.

Jos, is there any method for JTextArea that setting word wrap to true?

So you switched from a TextArea to a JTextArea? The API documentation for that class tells you all (short answer: yes it's possible to set/clear word wrapping).

I think that TextArea is obsolete in java.

I think that word wrapping will be useful in this case.

No it isn't, it is just an old AWT object while the JTextArea component is a Swing object.

I have done word wrapping with: setLineWrap(true); and without setting horizontal scroll bar in JScrollPane.

Jos, you were right:
In API documentation they are saying that it is possible to set word wrap in JTextArea without using JScrollPane (and horizontal scroll bar settings).

JavaBender, I think this will be useful for your problem.

I know that. Well maybe obsolete is not the real word but I think that awt for components are not in big usage in the year 2010. When advanced programers use awt for components they now really good what they are doing, but when beginners use it then I think that they have wrong book, looking wrong web pages on the internet or have a wrong teacher.
