Horizontal scrollbars with a JTextPane component

Question

Hi all
I use a JTextPane which is, in turn embedded in a JScrollPane. In some cases, text appended might be longer than the current width of the window. In this case, I would like the JTextPane to show the scrollbars (Policy set to "show when needed") instead of wrapping the text line. How can this be done?
Regards,
Michael
PS: The text is represented by a DefaultStyledDocument.

Hi there
I don't think that's the problem. The JTextPane is already to the ScrollPane and the ScrollPane is in turn added to aJPanel. That works so far.
I think the problem (probably) has to do with the JTextPane (guess). In a similar case, i use a JTextArea and here it works ok (i.e. provides the scrollbars and not wrap the text).
To illustrate, here's the code that does that:
---<snip>---
JInternalFrame dashboardOutputFrame = new JInternalFrame();
DefaultStyledDocument dashboardOutputDocument = new DefaultStyledDocument();
JTextPane dashboardOutputEditor = new JTextPane(dashboardOutputDocument);
JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane();
BorderLayout l = new BorderLayout();
dashboardOutputFrame.setTitle("Standard Output Window");
dashboardOutputFrame.setSize(600, 300);
dashboardOutputFrame.setLocation(20, 20);
dashboardOutputFrame.setClosable(false);
dashboardOutputFrame.setFrameIcon(personIcon16);
dashboardOutputFrame.setIconifiable(true);
dashboardOutputFrame.setMaximizable(true);
dashboardOutputFrame.setResizable(true);
dashboardOutputFrame.getContentPane().setLayout(l);
sp.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
sp.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
sp.setViewportView(dashboardOutputEditor);
dashboardOutputFrame.getContentPane().add(sp, BorderLayout.CENTER);Cheers,
