Hi all, Sorry if this is a dumb question - I'm still fairly new to Swing. Does Swing contain a multiline static control? I have a JFrame containing (among other things) a block of static text along the bottom. I'd like this block of text to resize nicely as the JFrame is resized, automatically breaking onto multiple lines as necessary. The control itself doesn't have to grow vertically or anything - I can make it tall enough to accomodate the maximum number of lines I expect it to need. It would just be nice if the control would handle the wordwrap. If there isn't such a thing, what's the best way to fake it? Right now I'm using a JTextArea, which does exactly what I want except that the text is editable and the background color is wrong. I considered trying to turn off editing (how?) and changing the background color of the JTextArea. Is this the right way, or is there a better approach?
