Constants:

public static final int SCROLLBARS_BOTH

public static final int SCROLLBARS_VERTICAL_ONLY

public static final int SCROLLBARS_HORIZONTAL_ONLY

public static final int SCROLLBARS_NONE

the TextField and TextArea both gives the subsequent methods

int getColumns( )

void setColumns(int columns)

The text component class does not provide any public constructors and is therefore uninstantiable.
