display beginning of the text in a Jtextbox.

[thanikg]

Hi,

I hava a Jtextbox in my application. The textbox can show only 10 characters (due to the size of the textbox), but it can accept upto 40 characters. If i fetch the data from a DB and try to display in the textbox, only the last 10 character are visible. pls help me to make the first 10 characters to visible.

let me know if more details are needed.

Simplest way is to set the caret position, aftr you have inserted the text to the component.

yourTextField.setCaretPosition(0); Sets cursor to the beginning of the text.
