Newline "\n" in TextField java

Question

I am building string ( 3 different objects ) and at the end of string I put a newline when I print in console I get what expected but when I use setText in the textfield I get one line displayed, Is there a way to get the newline in textfield?

    while (itr.hasNext()) 
          tx +=   "\n"+el.getnombre() + " " +other+"\n";  
    System.out.println(tx);
    textfield.setText(tx);

Answer 1

JTextField or TextField (not sure which you're using) are for single lines only. If you want a basic multiline text display and you're using Swing, then use a JTextArea. If you're not using Swing, then please tell us which GUI library you are using as this is an important detail that your question should mention.
