Could someone help me with this problem?
I have a JTextArea inside a JScrollPane so that I can scroll the text. My program reads a files and populated the textarea. When it is done, the textarea is scrolled all the way down. How can I scroll it all the way up programmatically?
Thanks,
Arsalan

HI,
You could set the JTextArea caret position to 0. The top ...
textArea.setCaretPosition( 0 );
That should make the scrollbars back to top of textarea.
Regards,
Manfred.

I got this tall by not having enough crisco in my diet as a kid. This ad looks like it had plenty of shortening:
