How can I add a Jscroll in a jTextArea if my layout is NULL?

Thx you

I just want to add a scroll bar to a jTextArea. Any suggestion if my layout is null?

This is how it is normally done....

import javax.swing.*; 
  import java.awt.*; 
  import java.awt.event.*;

  class Example{ 
   public static void main(String[] args){
 
  JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(new JTextArea());
  JFrame jf = new JFrame(); 
  jf.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
     public void WindowClosing(WindowEvent we){
       System.exit(0);
     }
 });

 
  Container c = jf.getContentPane(); 
  c.add(jsp); 

  jf.setSize(200,150); 
  jf.setVisible(true); 

 }
}

But in order to position a component without the help of a layout manager you would have to use absoulte positioning. Normally you would want to use the setBounds() method which takes either a rectangle or x,y,width and height. I guess this could be good if you want the scroll bar wider then it normally is. You could also use setLocation() which takes a Point or x,y coordinates.

thx you, !!! I mixed up the jscroll pane and the jtextarea

that what I had:
JTextArea text1 = new JTextArea(new JScrollPane);
and like you have gaven to me :
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(new JTextArea());


You see my error now

Thx you Dilenger4
