Help with JScrollPane

I have a JScrollPane that I need to add multiple components to. That includes 5 JButtons, and 5 Jtree's.
I need to add all of the components at once, making the JTree's visible and invisible by clicking the JButton's. My first problem is when I try to add multiple objects to the JScrollPane using the default layout manager. The last object added is always stretched to fill the entire viewport. This makes the objects first added un-viewable. So I decided to first add all of the objects to a Box then add the Box to the scrollpane.
My second problem occurs when I make a JTree visible, aftering adding it to the Box. It draws the tree completely from top to bottom as it should, but clips the right end of titles on the nodes. The horizontal scroll adjusts enought so that you can scroll far enough to the right, but the titles are cut off.
If I add one of the JTree's directly to the JScrollPane it behaves as it should, showing the complete node titles.
I've tried revalidating, updating, and repainting without success.
So, first question is can multiple objects be added to a JScrollPane using the default layout manager, without having the last object hide the previously added objects?
Secondly, does anyone know why nodes in a JTree would be clipped when added to a Box then added the Box added to a JScrollPane. And more importantly how to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Jim

Hi there
Im not sure on exactly what you are trying to do.
But if you want multiple components in one JScrollPane
I would use a JPanel that I would add to the JScrollPane
On that JPanel I would then add my components.
I would also use GridBagLayout instead of any other layout manager. Thats because it is the most complex
layout manager and it will arrange the components as I whant.
If you whant to be able to remove a component from the view by making them invisible. I think I would consider
JLayeredPane.
on a JLayeredPane you add components on different layers. Each component is positionend exactly with setLocation or setBounds. This is the most exact thing to use. The JLayeredPane uses exact positioning of its components. which can be usefull when you use
several components that will be visible at different times

  • Help With JScrollPane and many JLabels...

    I am in the process of designing an 'image browser' applet for a client, but am having some difficulty in deciding how I can most elegantly meet all of the requirements. The specification calls for an applet that can view up to 400 images (all images are small - 120 * 120 px), the view of the images can be scrolled (if not all are in the view) or scaled (zoom in and out on any area), and the images will need to 'animate' or move to new locations as sorting criteria changes. Also, I need to be able to group images into arbitrary n*n arrays and click on any image in the view (rollovers may also be necessary in the future).
    At first, I thought this would be easily solved by putting the images (JLabels?) into as many groups (JPanels?) as necessary to meet the sort criteria, then adding the groups to my main view (JScrollPane w/JPanel) in a GridLayout. My current attempt at a solution scales the groups (JPanels) via. an overridden paintComponent method from within my main scrolling view (using g2d and scale). Unfortunately, I now have many problems that I am having trouble solving:
    1. After I re-scale the JScrollPane (zoom in or out) and then try and scroll, the new images that scroll in are either garbled or just junk (seems like remnants of the original, non-scaled components?).
    2. The scrollbars, at first, were not reflecting the current scaling and how much content is visible, so I overrode the getPreferredSize method in my JScrollPane content object to return (super.getPreferredSize * scaleFactor) - this fixes the appearance of the scroll bars (ie. they accurately reflect how much content there is), but it also offsets all of the images left depending on the scale value (less scale -> images offset further left).
    3. I need pixel-perfect control over the images, so that I can animate the transition from one 'group' to another - I can't see a way to achieve this with my current solution.
    Has anyone tried to do something like this before? What is a good way of accomplishing what I need here? Any code out there that does something similar? Any help would be appreciated, I've been banging my head against the wall over this for days now...
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike P.
    Here is some relevant code:
    /* From BrowserPanel (JPanel associated with my main JScrollPane) */
    public void paint (Graphics g) {
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2d.scale(scaleFactor, scaleFactor);
        super.paint(g2d);
    /* From BrowserPanel (JPanel associated with my main JScrollPane) */
    public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
        Dimension origSize = super.getPreferredSize();
        double originalSizeX;
        double originalSizeY;
        originalSizeX = origSize.getWidth();
        originalSizeY = origSize.getHeight();
        double newSizeX = originalSizeX * scaleFactor;
        double newSizeY = originalSizeY * scaleFactor;
        String strX = Double.toString(newSizeX);
        String strY = Double.toString(newSizeY);
        /* Round the string (discard anything after the decimal) */
        strX = strX.substring(0, strX.indexOf("."));
        strY = strY.substring(0, strY.indexOf("."));
        /* Convert string to int... */     
        int x = Integer.parseInt(strX);
        int y = Integer.parseInt(strY);
        return new Dimension(x, y);
    }

    I increased the frame size to 3 lines and noticed the the flickering is a result of the text area painting itself without the scrollbar and then repainting itself with the scrollbar. I don't know why this happens, but a work around is to use:
    ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS,

  • Need help with JScrollPane

    Is there anyway to
    1. Fix the size on JScrollPane area on the screen.
    2. Enable only the vertical scrollbar.
    So that user can scrolling vertically for the content within the specified Scroll Pane area.

  • URGENT! Need help with scrolling on a JPanel!

    Hello Guys! I guess there has been many postings about this subject in the forum, but the postings I found there.... still couldn't solve my problem...
    So, straight to the problem:
    I am drawing some primitive graphic on a JPanel. This JPanel is then placed in a JScrollPane. When running the code, the scrollbars are showing and the graphic is painted nicely. But when I try to scroll to see the parts of the graphics not visible in the current scrollbarview, nothing else than some flickering is happening... No movement what so ever...
    What on earth must I do to activate the scroll functionality on my JPanel??? Please Help!
    And yes, I have tried implementing the 'Scrollable' interface... But it did not make any difference...

    The Scrollable interface should be implemented by a JPanel set as the JScrollPane's viewport or scrolling may not function. Although it is said to be only necessary for tables, lists, and trees, without it I have never had success with images. Even the Java Swing Tutorial on scrolling images with JScrollPane uses the Scrollable interface.
    I donot know what you are doing wrong here, but I use JScrollPane with a JPanel implementing Scrollable interface and it works very well scrolling images drawn into the JPanel.
    You can scroll using other components, such as the JScrollBar or even by using a MouseListener/MouseMotionListener combination, but this is all done behind the scenes with the use of JScrollPane/Scrollable combination.
    You could try this approach using an ImageIcon within a JLabel:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.awt.image.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.event.*;
    public class Test extends JFrame {
         BufferedImage bi;
         Graphics2D g_bi;
         public Test() {
              super("Scroll Test");
              makeImage();
              Container contentPane = getContentPane();
              MyView view = new MyView(new ImageIcon(bi));
              JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(view);
              contentPane.add(sp);
              setSize(200, 200);
              setVisible(true);
         private void makeImage() {
              bi = new BufferedImage(320, 240, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
              g_bi = bi.createGraphics();
              g_bi.setColor(Color.white);
              g_bi.fillRect(0,0,320,240);
              g_bi.setColor(Color.black);
              g_bi.drawLine(0,0,320,240);
         public static void main(String args[]) {
              Test test = new Test();
    class MyView extends JLabel {
         ImageIcon icon;
         public MyView(ImageIcon ii) {
              super(ii);
              icon = ii;
         public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
              g.drawImage(icon.getImage(),0,0,this);

    }the only problem now is about how it should display the right info about the person whenever i click its name on the list.. something about file reading or something, i just cant figure it out.
    and also about how to make it scroll once it exceeds the list.. i cant make it work, maybe something about wrong declaration..
    thanks in advance..

    Like said before, do one thing at a time. At startup, something like:
    //put all the content in a list
    ArrayList<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
    while(String line=rand.readLine()!=null) {
        lines.add(line);
    }If you follow the good advice to create a class to encapsulate the entries, you could populate a list of such entries like this:
    static final int ENTRY_SIZE = 3;//you have 3 fields now, better to have a constant if that changes
    ArrayList<Entry> entries = new ArrayList<Entry>();
    for(int i=0; i<lines.size(); i+=ENTRY_SIZE) {
        Entry entry = new Entry(lines.get(i), lines.get(i+1), lines.get(i+2);
        entries.add(newEntry);
    }You could also do both of the above in one run, but I think you will understand better what's happening if you do one thing at a time.
    If you don't want to put the entries in an encapsulating class, you can still access this without looping:
    int listStartIdx = <desired_entry_index>*ENTRY_SIZE;
    String att1 = lines.get(listStartIdx).substring(1);
    String att2 = lines.get(listStartIdx+1).substring(1);
    String att3 = lines.get(listStartIdx+2).substring(1);

  • Please I need some help with a table

    Hi All
    I need some help with a table.
    My table needs to hold prices that the user can update.
    Also has a total of the column.
    my question is if the user adds in a new price how can i pick up the value they have just entered and then add it to the total which will be the last row in the table?
    I have a loop that gets all the values of the column, so I can get the total but it is when the user adds in a new value that I need some help with.
    I have tried using but as I need to set the toal with something like total
        totalTable.setValueAt(total, totalTable.getRowCount()-1,1); I end up with an infinite loop.
    Can any one please advise on some way I can get this to work ?

    When adding components to a null layout you must set both a location and size for them to show up.

  • Controlling amount of rows in a jtextfield with jscrollpane

    As part of a school assignment, I we have output going to a textfield that is scrolled with JScrollPane. Part of it is for when it comes to 400 lines, and another line is added, that the first line of the output is erased, and the new one is added. Are there simple methods of the API to do this, or should I perhaps store all the output in a string, use an int to count, and then substring it to the first \n ?
    Thanks for the replies. Please dont give me direct answers, but help to find the answer, as I do not want to cheat.

    While I did not do a SSCCE, mine is not overly complicated on output. The first part of this was building a console client to connect to a server. This part is adding a GUI to it, with a bit of extra functionality. My writeMessage method of the console did a System.out.println. It now does a output.setText(output.getText() + "\n"+ date + msg); msg being the String parameter in the method. output is the JTextArea I have, and is passed to my Client object.
    The output works fine, its just trying to cut the first line out when max is reached. Just doing 20 lines for now. I tried adding this, but it started cutting more and more off the start of the text.
    if(output.getLineCount() > 20) {
         try {
              int firstRow = output.getLineEndOffset(0);
              output.setText(output.getText().substring(0, firstRow));
         catch(BadLocationException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();

  • Error using JTextArea with JScrollPane

    hi,
    I am using JTextArea with JScrollpane. I am getting a problem in selecting the text in text area. I am searching for some text in the text area and selecting it if search successful. The problem is that the the scrollbar position didnt set to the correct location. So sometime the text selected is not visible in the scrolpane. Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated.
    Regards
    Danish

    What about sth like this:Rectangle r = textarea.modelToView(textarea.getSelectionStart());
    scrollpane.scrollRectToVisible(r);Just a guess, no idea whether it works.

  • Urgently need some help with a few Swing questions

    Hi
    I'm hoping someone can help me, I need to get these problems fixed very soon or I'm in trouble.
    Scenario: I have a JTreeTable inside a JScrollPane inside a JPanel that is inside a JFrame.
    Problems I'm having (solutions or help with any of all would be greatly appreciated):
    1. I'm trying to make it possible to do a selection in the JTreeTable by right-clicking the mouse (as well as the normal left click), but only if there is nothing currently selected, so I do something like this:
            int[] sel = treeTable.getSelectedRows();
            if ((sel == null) || (sel.length == 0)) {
                treeTable.setColumnSelectionAllowed(false);
                treeTable.setRowSelectionAllowed(true);
                treeTable.setRowSelectionInterval(0, 0);            // but I don't know what these values should be set to, where to get them from?
            }I want to select the row at the mouse cursor, I have the x/y values but I don't know how to relate them to the row index. The full feature that I require is I need
    2. I have a popup menu that appears after a right click on the JTreeTable, it's handled by a MouseListener attached to the JTreeTable, I want this to also appear anywhere else in the JScrollpane. I've tried moving the MouseListener to the JScrollPane, but then the popup stops working if user clicks inside JTreeTable, if I add it to both, it almost works, except that user cannot click below the JTreeTable's first column. Any ideas on this?
    3. How can I change the JTreeTable selection behaviour so that you can only multi-select using Ctrl/Shift and not the mouse? Mouse must only allow single connection, I'm currently using:
    treeTable.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);But this allows mouse drag selection as well, which shouldn't be there. How is this avoidable?
    4. I want to make the minimize button to make an icon in system tray and be able to restore it by clicking on it. Also I want to be able to minimze from a popup menu, I've currently got the following:
            thisApp.getMainFrame().setState(Frame.ICONIFIED);
            thisApp.getMainFrame().setVisible(false);
            thisApp.getMainFrame().pack();
            try {
               tray.add(trayIcon);
            } catch (AWTException ex) {
            }thisApp is a copy of the SingleFrameApplication variable that is passed to the main frame constructor (main frame extends FrameView). This code above doesn't do anything except create the tray icon. If I click on the tray icon (code below) then it opens up a blank window:
            trayIcon.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    thisApp.getMainFrame().setVisible(true);
                    thisApp.getMainFrame().setState(Frame.NORMAL);
                    thisApp.getMainFrame().pack();
                    tray.remove(trayIcon);
            });I need to get this part fixed and I optionally also want to bind this behaviour to the normal minimize button.
    Please, please help!

    Issue 2 has been solved, was an error in the MouseListener code.

  • Help with if statement in cursor and for loop to get output

    I have the following cursor and and want to use if else statement to get the output. The cursor is working fine. What i need help with is how to use and if else statement to only get the folderrsn that have not been updated in the last 30 days. If you look at the talbe below my select statement is showing folderrs 291631 was updated only 4 days ago and folderrsn 322160 was also updated 4 days ago.
    I do not want these two to appear in my result set. So i need to use if else so that my result only shows all folderrsn that havenot been updated in the last 30 days.
    Here is my cursor:
    /*Cursor for Email procedure. It is working Shows userid and the string
    You need to update these folders*/
    DECLARE
    a_user varchar2(200) := null;
    v_assigneduser varchar2(20);
    v_folderrsn varchar2(200);
    v_emailaddress varchar2(60);
    v_subject varchar2(200);
    Cursor c IS
    SELECT assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, trunc(f.indate) AS "IN DATE",
    MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "LAST UPDATE",
    trunc(sysdate) - MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "DAYS PAST"
    --MAX (TRUNC (fpa.attemptdate)) - TRUNC (f.indate) AS "NUMBER OF DAYS"
    FROM folder f, folderprocess fp, validuser vu, folderprocessattempt fpa
    WHERE f.foldertype = 'HJ'
    AND f.statuscode NOT IN (20, 40)
    AND f.folderrsn = fp.folderrsn
    AND fp.processrsn = fpa.processrsn
    AND vu.userid = fp.assigneduser
    AND vu.statuscode = 1
    GROUP BY assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, f.indate
    ORDER BY fp.assigneduser;
    BEGIN
    FOR c1 IN c LOOP
    IF (c1.assigneduser = v_assigneduser) THEN
    dbms_output.put_line(' ' || c1.folderrsn);
    else
    dbms_output.put(c1.assigneduser ||': ' || 'Overdue Folders:You need to update these folders: Folderrsn: '||c1.folderrsn);
    END IF;
    a_user := c1.assigneduser;
    v_assigneduser := c1.assigneduser;
    v_folderrsn := c1.folderrsn;
    v_emailaddress := c1.emailaddress;
    v_subject := 'Subject: Project for';
    END LOOP;
    END;
    The reason I have included the folowing table is that I want you to see the output from the select statement. that way you can help me do the if statement in the above cursor so that the result will look like this:
    emailaddress
    Subject: 'Project for ' || V_email || 'not updated in the last 30 days'
    v_folderrsn
    v_folderrsn
    etc
    [email protected]......
    Subject: 'Project for: ' Jim...'not updated in the last 30 days'

    This table is to shwo you the select statement output. I want to eliminnate the two days that that are less than 30 days since the last update in the last column.
