Thread: TextArea Not Setting size?

import java.awt.TextArea;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
 
public class Class2 extends JFrame{
	private TextArea textArea;
	private JLabel copyright;
 
	public Class2(){
 
		super("");
 
		copyright = new JLabel("Copyright® 2012");
		add(copyright);
 
		textArea = new TextArea("", 15,50, TextArea.SCROLLBARS_VERTICAL_ONLY);
		add(textArea);
	}
}

Try a JTextArea as opposed to a TextArea. You should avoid mixing Swing and AWT components (see the following as to why: Mixing heavy and light components ).

it matters what the name of you 'private JTextArea' Is? 0.0

I have no clue what you mean by this or your previous post. You've failed to provide your current code, what you mean by 'display', whether you are now using a JTextArea, and anything else you may have done
