Hello,

I have a JTextPane in a JScrollPane. My text contains 60000
characters. When moving the text to the JTextPane I set the
caretPosition to 0. This places the text top left at the first
position.

Now I want to set the caretPosition to 20000. This is the first
character of a line somewhere in the text. The scrollPane moves well
but it shows the line at the bottom of the scrollPane. I want it to
be the first visible line in the scrollPane, in other words position
20000 of the text must be in the top left corner of the scrollPane. I
searched for any example on the net, but I didn't found any.

How can I place the text correctly in the scrollPane ?

thanx for any answer.

Patrick.
