How to use "setCaretPosition"

[ho mingchang]

import java.awt.*;
public class TextAreaExample {
public static void main(String argv[]) {
Frame f = new Frame("TextArea Example");
f.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
String str = "1234567890 234567890 34567890 4567890 567890";
TextArea ta3 = new TextArea(str, 2, 10, TextArea.SCROLLBARS_VERTICAL_ONLY);
f.add(ta3);
ta3.setCaretPosition(0);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
When I compiled the file, it showed "Cannot set caret position until after the peer has been created". How should I modify the code?
Thank you very much for your help ^^
