For some reasons, I could not use JTextField, and instead, I need to use JTextArea.
The problem is when I set the size of JTextArea to (1,10) (rows=1, columns=10), I will see a scrollbar, no matter how I tried, the scrollbar is still there even if I set rows and columns to 0,0.
Is it possible to hide the scrollbar away ? if so, how can I do ?
Thanks,
Cristy

As said by Mick,
JTextArea does not have any scrollbars. I Just tested this code. TextArea shows scrollbasrs. You need to recheck the code

if you do not want scroll bars then don't add the field to a scroll pane, instead add the text field directly.
alternately set the scroll pane policy to never display scroll bars.
