is there a way to resize a textfield interms of its height?

[simon.hain]

you can call setExtent or overwrite getPreferredHeight

good suggestion, but if you set it like that the field resizes but the fonts doesnt.

calculate the necessary SIZE of the font,
use fied.setFont(field.getFont().derive(Font.PLAIN, SIZE))
take a look at different derive() versions, which you might need to pass the unit for the size

You can also set the field height by changing the font. The field will set it's verticle extent based on the font height.

thanks you so much guys i also have same problem, i did it having the field and font resize but this time the only problem is it was resized but the height of the Field at the back is still the default height giving me a border whenever i do another field next to it..
