why isnt this scroll panel scrolling?

Thread view: 
Justin - 29 Nov 2006 21:34 GMT
heres my class file.  All I am trying to do is get the scroll panel to
have a scroll bar and the ability to scroll.

Why does changing the size of the JScrollPane have no affect on it when
I run the program?  What do I have to do to gain scrolling
capabilities?

Thanks

Your code won't compile, let alone run.
If you need further help then you need to create a Short, Self
Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE) that
demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly
what you are doing based on the information provided.
I think a panel only with five buttons need not to be scrolled.
Why it should scroll? I don't understand.

The reason why you don't get scroll bars is described in the API docs of
constructor JScrollPane(Component), which you should read now.
How to get scrollbars is described in the docs of another JScrollPane
constructor.
