JTextArea insert() question

[Jenny]

Hi All,

The code below give me an err csused by a.insert("test \none",10).
If I use a.insert("test \none",0), it is OK. What can I do to use an
int >0 as position?

JTextArea a = new JTextArea(3,50);
a.insert("test \none",10);

Thanks.

The following is the info for insert.

public void insert(String str,
int pos)Inserts the specified text at the specified
position. Does nothing if the model is null or if the text is null or
empty.
This method is thread safe, although most Swing methods are not.
Please see Threads and Swing for more information.


Parameters:
str - the text to insert
pos - the position at which to insert >= 0
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if pos is an invalid position in the model

Your JTextArea is empty, so you can't insert a text at this pos...
If you want do this, maybe you can fill it before with spaces

First, find out what the current length of the text is, and then do not
exceed that length when you insert. The point is you cannot specify an
insertion point beyond the current length.

JTextArea a = new JTextArea(3,50);

This doesn't create any text content, it merely accepts the specified number
of rows and columns. It is still empty, and it will fail for an insert > 0.

0.

Can the row and columns be treated as objects?

I thought maybe u can use it as a database.

I think maybe "u" better tell us what you want to do. One is much better off
creating an array of the desired data types, instead of trying to use a
textarea as a database of rows and columns.
