Create a table with JTextArea in Swing

[Kofi Nimako]

Hi All:

Does anyone know how to create a table of rows and columns and input text and numbers using JtextArea in Swing ?

Thanks :roll:

Hi Kofi,

I don't see how you'd do that with JTextArea. Take a look at JTable instead maybe.

Look on the Sun website for the JTable tutorial (you can also access it from the API.) You can use a JTextArea in a JTable. Compare it in the tutorial to the example they have using a JComboBox.

Cheers,
