Scrolling? That should be easy enough: look at this Java Tutorials page.

I thought you could specify which way those scroll panes scroll.

The JScrollPane API has setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy and setVeriticalScrollBarPolicy methods to do just that. The default is both horizontal and vertical "as needed"

First of all use "meaningful" variable names. Two character names are not meaningful.

i want only vertical scrollbar & also it should be activated only if text is exceeded visible TextArea.



That is the default behaviour when you add a JTextArea to a scrollpane.

I got it but



Post the code you used.
