The JavaTextArea object is used to identify or automate a javax.swing.text.JTextArea component or its subclasses.

Property	Description
string Text {get, set;}	Gets or sets the value of the text inside the control.

The AppendText method is used to add text at the position of the cursor:

void AppendText(string in_text)

Parameter	Description
string in_text	The desired text.

When the text inside the control changes, the following event can be fired:

void MyTextArea_Changed(object sender, EventArgs e)

Parameter	Description
sender	The element that triggered the event (i.e., the specific textarea that was involved).
e	Requirements for the event.

The new value of the text is extracted from the EventArgs. For example:

{

var textEventArgs = e as TextEventArgs;

string text = textEventArgs.Value;

}
