public class TextArea

extends JTextArea

implements Component

A text area for multiple lines (unlike a TextBox which can only do one line. It is a subclass of the Swing JTextArea.

Special methods you may want: setLineWrap, setWrapStyleWord, setEditable, setBackground (to set background color of field), setForeground (to set text color), and finally setText. Look in the inherited methods for these.
