How about

aTextField.setCaretPosition(0);

or am I missing something? Alternatively, you could create a new Document,
put the text you'd like to see in there and then setDocument() on the text
field, but that's a bit heavy handed.

Subject: how do I scroll to the beginning of the content in a JTextField


Hi all,

after putting text in a JTextField, which is longer then the width of the
JTextField, I want to programmatically display the text from the very
beginning, which means I need to scroll back to the beginning of the text.
I tried setScrollOffset() and scrollRectToView(), but none of these seem
to work correctly.
Is it possile at all?

Greetings,
Ralph
