Need help with GUI (swing)

This is my first project where I use swing and I need help making the textArea in bankStatementInterface larger in y axis. I've attached images with relevant code and with the interface.

Try adding a minimum height to the textArea

dan1st•4w ago

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/swing/JComponent.html#setMinimumSize(java.awt.Dimension)

JComponent (Java SE 21 & JDK 21)

declaration: module: java.desktop, package: javax.swing, class: JComponent

I did this

textArea.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(300,100));

textArea.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(300,100));

but still not working

and setting a minimum size on the scroll pane did nothing either? Why only 100?

AdelinV2OP•4w ago

textArea.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(500,500));

        scrollPane.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(500,500));

textArea.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(500,500));

        scrollPane.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(500,500));

still looks the same Wait, my bad, I've set maximmsize Its working, thank you @dan1st | Daniel
