What are you scrolling? If a text component, oftentimes setting the caret to the top of the component works. Please have a look at Rob Camick's Swing tips blog for more on this: Java Tips Weblog: Text Area Scrolling

textArea.setCaretPosition(textArea.getDocument().getLength());this works for displaying scrollbar bottom of the dialog.What should i use to display it to top of the dialog. – hemanth kumar Jun 30 '11 at 13:53

@hemanth: Try `textArea.setCaretPosition(0);` I have not tried this, but it seems the obvious solution. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jun 30 '11 at 13:57

Read the call, and read the documentation : setCaretPosition(int position). If you pass the length of the document, it goes to the end. What could you imagine to pass to make it go to the beginning? – JB Nizet Jun 30 '11 at 13:58

@hemanth: then you might wish to create a small compilable runnable program that demonstrates you problem, an [SSCCE](http://SSCCE.org), and post it in your question so we can test, alter and correct it. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jun 30 '11 at 14:00

got the result using this piece of code: jTextArea1.select(0,0); – hemanth kumar Jun 30 '11 at 14:22
