TextArea

Use a TextArea bean to provide a large area for text entry or presentation. A text area can contain multiple lines, and is vertically and horizontally scrollable.

Use a JTextArea bean, rather than a TextArea bean, if you want to use it in a Swing container. Although Swing and AWT beans can be mixed, it is inadvisable.
