You may want to consider keeping the text in a StringBuffer and using this as your model. I believe that a text area will always allow the same number characters to be typed per line. So you can control what text is shown by keeping track of the size of the stringbuffer and as you add to it, you can remove characters from the front line by line. Hope this helps, Ben > > im using a JTextArea to display text messages. im appending strings line by > line. > > as the message grows beyond a certain limit (say 40 lines of text or beyond > the viewing area) the messages at the top should get deleted and the new > messages should be appended to the bottom. > > can any one give me possible solution or an idea ! > thanks for even just considering it! and THANKS for the solution in > advance!! > > kingsley > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
