Add scroll bars to TextArea - how?

I have an application which reads user input to a text file and then on click of JButDisplay reads the contents of the file to a TextArea.
Problem is I can't seem to get scroll bars onto the TextArea, I tried using JScrollPane,
but had no luck (I'm using gridBagLayout)
Could someone please advise me how to add scrollbars to this component?
TADisplay2 = new JTextArea(10,20);
               c.ipadx = 12;
               c.ipady = 12;
                    c.gridx = 2;
                    c.gridy=18;
                    c.gridwidth = 2;   //2 columns wide
                    c.gridheight = 4;
                         gridbag.setConstraints(TADisplay2, c);
                         contentPane.add(TADisplay2);

1) Create scrollPanel
2) Make it fill your content pane (or whatever area you wish to cover)
3) Add your textArea to the scrollpanel

How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

Hi. To remove the horizontal scrollbar you can do this:
textArea.setWrapText(true);
To remove the vertical scrollbar you can do this:
ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)ta.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
scrollBarv.setDisable(true); and set the opacity to 0 in the css file:
//css file
.text-area .scroll-bar:vertical:disabled {
    -fx-opacity: 0;
}Here is an example:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Node;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu;
import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
import javafx.scene.control.ScrollBar;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
import javafx.scene.input.ContextMenuEvent;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class TextAreaSample extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    final TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
        textArea.setWrapText(true);
        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(textArea);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
        scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("style.css").toExternalForm());
        ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)textArea.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
        scrollBarv.setDisable(true);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);

How to add scroll bar within af:showDetail

I have added a af:panelGroupLayout to af:showDetail, and set the "layout" property of the panel group layout out to "scroll". However, the scroll bar still does not show up within af:showDetail. If I set the height for the panel group layout within af:showDetail, then the scroll bar shows. But then it will not stretch vertically upon stretching the dialog vertically. Is it possible to add scroll bar within af:showDetail?
Here's a sample code which I tried -
<*af:panelStretchLayout* id="psl1">
<f:facet name="center">
<*af:showDetail* disclosed="false" id="sd1" disclosedText="Metadata"
undisclosedText="Metadata">
<*af:panelGroupLayout* id="pgl2"
inlineStyle="background-color:White;"
layout="*scroll*">
</panelGroupLayout>
</af:showDetail>
</f:facet>
</af:panelStretchLayout>

Yes, you can try panelStretchLayout as well.
Copy following fragment into an empty <af:document> to see the difference.
<af:form id="f1">
<af:showDetail disclosed="true" id="sd1">
<af:panelStretchLayout id="psl1">
<f:facet name="bottom"/>
<f:facet name="center">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl1" layout="scroll">
<af:outputFormatted value="outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1"
id="of1"/>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="start"/>
<f:facet name="end"/>
<f:facet name="top"/>
</af:panelStretchLayout>
</af:showDetail>
<af:showDetail disclosed="true" id="sd2">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl2" layout="scroll">
<af:outputFormatted value="outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1outputFormat1"

Any Possible to add Scroll Bars to SysLink Control in MFC

If there is any chance to add Scroll Bars to SysLink Control in VC++ MFC Application?

Hi J Sathish Kumar,
CLinkCtrl class derive form CWnd class, so it can create with the common windows style WS_VSCROLL. So we could create a syslink control with this style.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xw25kwch.aspx
PTCHAR url =
_T("Link 2) ")
_T("<A HREF=\"http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/default.aspx\">")
_T("Microsoft VC++ Home")
_T("</A>");
//m_mylink is a object of a class derive from CLinkCtrl class.
m_mylink.Create(url,
(WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP | WS_CHILD | WS_BORDER|WS_VSCROLL),
CRect(
100, 100,
400, 240),
this,
IDC_SYSLINK2);
You need to create a class derive form CLinkCtrl class. And you will find the scrollbar cannnot scroll. Here is a workaround:
LRESULT CMyLinkCtrl::WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
if (message == WM_NCHITTEST || message == WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN || message == WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK)
return ::DefWindowProc(m_hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);
return CLinkCtrl::WindowProc(message, wParam, lParam);
Set the scrollbar information.
int CMyLinkCtrl::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
if (CLinkCtrl::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
return -1;
// TODO: Add your specialized creation code here
SCROLLINFO vinfo;
vinfo.cbSize = sizeof(vinfo);
vinfo.fMask = SIF_ALL;
vinfo.nPage = 30
vinfo.nMax = 140
vinfo.nMin=0;
vinfo.nTrackPos = 0;
SetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &vinfo);//
return 0;
Handle the WM_VSCROLL message event in your new class CMyLinkCtrl.
void CMyLinkCtrl::OnVScroll(UINT nSBCode, UINT nPos, CScrollBar* pScrollBar)
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
SCROLLINFO scrollinfo;
GetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &scrollinfo, SIF_ALL);
switch (nSBCode) {
case SB_BOTTOM:
ScrollWindow(0, (scrollinfo.nPos - scrollinfo.nMax) * 10); scrollinfo.nPos = scrollinfo.nMax;
SetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &scrollinfo, SIF_ALL); break;
case SB_TOP: ScrollWindow(0, (scrollinfo.nPos - scrollinfo.nMin) * 10); scrollinfo.nPos = scrollinfo.nMin;
SetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &scrollinfo, SIF_ALL);
break;
case SB_LINEUP:
scrollinfo.nPos -= 1;
if (scrollinfo.nPos<scrollinfo.nMin) {
scrollinfo.nPos = scrollinfo.nMin;
break;
SetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &scrollinfo, SIF_ALL);
ScrollWindow(0, 10);
break;
case SB_LINEDOWN:
scrollinfo.nPos += 1;
if (scrollinfo.nPos>scrollinfo.nMax) {
scrollinfo.nPos = scrollinfo.nMax; break;
SetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &scrollinfo, SIF_ALL); ScrollWindow(0, -10);
break;
case SB_PAGEUP:
scrollinfo.nPos -= 5;
if (scrollinfo.nPos<scrollinfo.nMin) {
scrollinfo.nPos = scrollinfo.nMin;
break;
SetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &scrollinfo, SIF_ALL); ScrollWindow(0, 10 * 5);
break;
case SB_PAGEDOWN:
scrollinfo.nPos += 5;
if (scrollinfo.nPos>scrollinfo.nMax) {
scrollinfo.nPos = scrollinfo.nMax;
break;
SetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &scrollinfo, SIF_ALL); ScrollWindow(0, -10 * 5);
break;
case SB_ENDSCROLL:
break;
case SB_THUMBPOSITION:
// ScrollWindow(0,(scrollinfo.nPos-nPos)*10); // scrollinfo.nPos = nPos;
// SetScrollInfo(SB_VERT,&scrollinfo,SIF_ALL);
break;
case SB_THUMBTRACK:
ScrollWindow(0, (scrollinfo.nPos - nPos) * 10);
scrollinfo.nPos = nPos;
SetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &scrollinfo, SIF_ALL);
break;
CLinkCtrl::OnVScroll(nSBCode, nPos, pScrollBar);
Above code is just for test and help you understand how to add the scrollbar, you could make it more suitable for your situation. Hope this helps some. Example Screenshot:

How to add scroll bars to a panel

Hi
Can anyone plz tell me how to add a scroll bar to a panel created within a JFrame
Regards
ats

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

How to add scroll bar to JDesktopPane?

Hi All,
After download the "InternalFrameDemo.java" from the swing tutorial, I want to add scrollbars to JDesktopPane so that whenever a internal frame moves off the desktop view port, a scrollbar will display. I have tried many ways to implement this but no success.
Do you know how to add scrollbars to JDesktopPane?
Thanks
Anson

You can't get there from here! Assuming that wou want is to make the desktop scrollable that is.
The trick to make somthing scrollable is to make JScrollPane CONTAIN the component to be scrolled. If you could ask the desktop to return the component it contains, you might have a chance but no luck, the desktop pane actually inherits a layered pane which is most likey is what you would like JScrollPane to contain.
Now here's another angle to this story... the desktop is complex enough without scrollbars, why would you want to complicate things by adding a scroll bar anyway? Say one of its window is maximized and has a scrollbar of its own AND the desktop has one.... that makes TWO scroll bars side by side. Talk about confusing.
I believe the desktop was designed so scroll bars can't be added for a very good reason: good UI practises.

How can I add scroll bars to a textarea and setfocus at the end of the box.

I didn't see a scrollbar option so I was wondering how would I add one? Also how can I setfocus to the last line in the textarea?

You have to create a JScrollPane that will enclose the TextArea as in new JScrollPane (yourTextArea).
You can setFocus to any Component and you can position the caret in an TextArea.

TextArea horizontal scroll bar?

Is it possible to have horizontal scroll bars in TextAreas? In html, the horizontal and vertical scroll bars automatically render themselves when needed. But that is not happening with the TextArea dropped on the design page from Creator's JSF Standard Components palette. Is there a setting somewhere to make the horizontal scroll bar show?

Hi,
This problem has been noticed earlier too and a bug exists for the same. In the meanwhile the following workaround is available which has been suggested by one of the engineers:
1. Add a "div" tag enclosing "select" tag.
2. Move the style attribute from "select" tag on "div" tag
3. In addition, add an "overflow" attribute to "style" attribute on "div" tag and set it to "auto".
<div style="left: 168px; top: 96px; overflow: auto; position: absolute; height: 192px; width: 192px">
<ui:listbox binding="#{newPage.listbox1}" id="listbox1" items="#{newPage.listbox1DefaultOptions.options}" />
</div>
Please be warned that once you do, your page will not render well in designer. So this should be done once the app has been rendered and is ready for deployment.
Hope this helps
Cheers

How do I turn off the add-on bar so it doesn't turn itself back on?

By right clicking on the menu I can turn on or off the various toolbars including the Add-on bar. But if I create a new tab or new window it turns on the add-on bar again. How can I turn it off so it does not reappear?

I have extension McAfee SiteAdvisor. And yes if I disable it the troublesome add-on bar stops reappearing. But SiteAdvisor does useful things even without displaying the add-on bar.

Horizontal scroll bar in reportview in ssrs

hi
how can i add scroll bar in report even it has only 2 rows and columns...in a table...

Hi Rajaprasad,
According to your description, you want to add a scroll bar in ReportViewer control.
In your scenario, you should specify the value of AsyncRendering as "true" and SizeToReportContent as "false" in ReportViewer Properties. Then you should open WebForm.aspx to add the code below:
