🚀 go-pugleaf

Here's a snippet of code from an app I'm writing.  This is part of the
implementation of a lame pop-up help window.  In this case I forced it
to
wrap the text and NOT use a horizontal scroll bar.  (I loath horizontal
scrollbars!)

You should be able to see what you need to change to do the opposite.


        JTextArea wrappedthing = new JTextArea( thing.helptext );
        wrappedthing.setWrapStyleWord( true );
        wrappedthing.setLineWrap( true );
        wrappedthing.setRows(15);
        wrappedthing.setColumns(45);
        Dimension d = wrappedthing.getPreferredScrollableViewportSize();
        wrappedthing.setRows(0);
        wrappedthing.setColumns(0);

        JScrollPane scrollthing = new JScrollPane( wrappedthing );
        scrollthing.setPreferredSize(d);
        scrollthing.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(
                            JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
        scrollthing.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(
                            JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
          null,
           scrollthing,
          "Help",
          JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE );

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried.  Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
