Added JPanel to JScrolledPane, won't scroll

Hi,

I added components to a JPanel, then added the JPanel to the
JScrolledPane, but the JScrolledPane won't scroll. Only arrows appear
on the side of the JPanel. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you,

Gil

Hi,

What kind of layout manager are you using for your JPanel?
I'd check that first.. Then post a quick example

You need to tell the jscrollpane how big your jpanel is by using the
get/setPreferredSize methods in your jpanel.

ScrollPanes work quite differently from other containers. The part of the
ScrollPane which is controlled by the scrolling action is the viewport. You
need to use JScrollPane.setViewportView() to "add" a component to the
scrollpane's viewport.
