Why do you want to prevent it?

Hi
You need to override the getScrollableTracksViewportWidth () method of JTextPane ( In fact, JTextPane inherits this method from JEditorPane ). If you don't want word + line wrapping then just return false from this method. Run the small program Test.java as given below.

Thanx
Kishori

///////////////////////Test.java //////////
import javax.swing.* ;
import java.awt.* ;

class CstTextPane extends JTextPane {
public CstTextPane() {
super ( ) ;
setSize ( 50, 50 ) ;
}

public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportWidth ( ) {
return false ; // Returning false for non-warpping
}
}

public class Test {

public static void main ( String[] args ) {
String text = "This is a big line of text which won't wrap in text pane" ;
JFrame f = new JFrame ( " J text Pane " ) ;
CstTextPane ctp = new CstTextPane ( );
ctp.setText ( text ) ;
Container cp = f.getContentPane ( ) ;
cp.add ( new JScrollPane ( ctp ) ) ;
cp.add ( new JButton ("Hello" ), "South" ) ;
f.setBounds ( 10, 10, 300, 300 ) ;
f.pack() ;
f.setVisible ( true ) ;
}

}
