Horizontal scrollbar for JTable

Hi folks,
I just created a JTable with 15 columns. As number of columns are more, I am not able to view all data. Probabaly I would need a Horizonatal scrollbar. I used setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(), but it doesn't help me. Can u pls any body help me to make it work out?
Thanx in advance.

Ayyappan.

Hi chuanhaochiu,
Thanx for immmediate reply. I have already put JTable in JScrollBar. I am comfortably getting the vertical scrollbars when more rows are added. I am not able to get only the horizontal bar.

Please mention the theme and template you are using for the Interactive Report.
Can you re-produce the issue on apex.oracle.com and share the workspace credentials, so that can have closer look at the issue?

Horizontal scrollbar for JComboBox - Not workable under Mac

By referring to this thread Re: Horizontal scrollbar for JComboBox across multiple look and feel I try to provide horizontal scroll bar for JComboBox to my clients.
private void adjustScrollBar() {
    //if (this.getItemCount() == 0) return;
    Object comp = this.getUI().getAccessibleChild(this, 0);
    if (!(comp instanceof JPopupMenu)) {
        return;
    JPopupMenu popup = (JPopupMenu) comp;
    // Works fine under Windows and Ubuntu Linux
    // However, in OSX 10.6.4
    // javax.swing.Box$Filler cannot be cast to javax.swing.JScrollPane
    JScrollPane scrollPane = (JScrollPane) popup.getComponent(0);
    scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBar(new JScrollBar(JScrollBar.HORIZONTAL));
    scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
}The above code will cause ClassException under OSX 10.6.4. (Works fine for Windows and Linux)
Any suggestion to resolve this problem. Sorry. I do not have a Mac machine. Hence, can't experiment out much with it.
Thanks

The following code works quite well for me.
    private void adjustScrollBar() {
        final int max_search = 8;
        // i < max_search is just a safe guard when getAccessibleChildrenCount
        // returns an arbitary large number. 8 is magic number
        JPopupMenu popup = null;
        for (int i = 0, count = this.getUI().getAccessibleChildrenCount(this); i < count && i < max_search; i++) {
            Object o = this.getUI().getAccessibleChild(this, i);
            if (o instanceof JPopupMenu) {
                popup = (JPopupMenu)o;
                break;
        if (popup == null) {
            return;
        JScrollPane scrollPane = null;
        for (int i = 0, count = popup.getComponentCount(); i < count && i < max_search; i++) {
            Component c = popup.getComponent(i);
            if (c instanceof JScrollPane) {
                scrollPane = (JScrollPane)c;
                break;
        if (scrollPane == null) {
            return;
        scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBar(new JScrollBar(JScrollBar.HORIZONTAL));
        scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
    }

Horizontal scrollbar for plot legend

Hello,
The plots in my plot legend for a graph can have quite long names so it would be great having a horizontal scrollbar.
Quote from here
>>To add a scroll bar to a plot legend, right-click the plot legend and select Visible Items»Horizontal Scrollbar or Visible Items»Vertical Scrollbar from the shortcut menu.
I can see the entry horizontal scrollbar, but it is always grayed out, what's wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Cheers,
Rico

I think you are misinterpreting the use of the scrollbar. If you have a lot of plots on your graph, then you can use the scrollabr to not show all the plots at once and this allows you to scroll through the list. It does not allow you to make the plot legend smaller to hide long names and scoll across.
So, if you resize the plot to be horizontal, then you can display the horizontal scrollbar:
If you resize it vertically, then you can display the vertical scrollbar:

Horizontal Scrollbar for af:selectOneListBox

Hi
Is there a way to fix the width of af:selectOneListbox such that for list values that are longer than stipulated width, a horizontal scrollbar can also be introduced to browse these values?
I cannot pre-determine the longest item as values within af:selectOneListbox is loaded dynamically.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi,
you can try CSS overflow:scroll to get a scrollbar. However, the width might be easier to set using CSS and can also be computed by a managed bean property

Need horizontal scrollbar for af:selectManyChoice

Hi,
I use JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.7.0
There is a field for which we use af:selectManyChoice ADF component.
The component is displaying the vertical scrollbar to show all the values automatically.
And width wise the component is expanded to show values. But, its not expanded to show the value which has maximum value.
Can we add a property to instruct the component to take the maximum width of the values in the list?
Or can we add a horizontal scrollbar to the component?
Attached the screenshot.

Tamil

Vertical ScrollBar for JTable disappears when trying to scroll!

Hi!
I have 2 JTables and these are in a JScrollPane. I need to add a Vertical ScrollBar in such a way that when the number of rows increases, the scrollbar will scroll both the table's data.
I am not using the Vertical ScrollBar of the ScrollPane instead i have added a JScrollBar to the two Panes( i.e. scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBar() ). This works fine.
But when I remove the columns from the right JTable , i.e. I have only one JTable left, the Vertical scrollbar disappears inspite of the number of rows being the same.
I have tried setting ViewPortView etc. but nothing works.
Please help!

Remember that was a test. It tells us the iPhoto is essentially sound and the issue is within that main Library.
Next move is to try repair that library.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Making a single column horizontally scrollable for JTable

Hello Everyone and thank you for reading my post.
I have been trying for the last 3 days to make a single column horizontally scrollable on my JTable but for some reason I can not get it to work.
I simplyfied my example to 2 columns and 5 rows where
the rows in the first column have long text and it will have a horizontal scroll bar to scroll to the end of the text, similiar to split in Excel.
The second column it doesn't matter
Thanks again and have a great time,
Al

Friend you use table cell renderer for your problem.
The solution would be like:
1. Write cell renderer that displays textfield contained in scrollpane.
2. Apply cell renderer to separate column where you require horizontal scroller.

Horizontal Scrollbar in a JTextPane

How can I specify whether or not there is a horizontal scrollbar for a JTextPane? The JTextPane is held within a JScrollPane, but if I try and do:
scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
I just end up with a pointless scrollbar on the JScrollPane which doesn't do anything, because the text in the JTextPane still wraps onto the next line.
Any ideas?
Thank-you.

Use this code to cancel the line wrapping of the text pane.
JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane() {
    public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportWidth() {
        return false;
    public void setSize(Dimension d) {
        if (d.width < getParent().getSize().width)
            d.width = getParent().getSize().width;
        super.setSize(d);
};

How to render Inline scrollbars for a table

Hi All,
I'm using a large table with nearly 30 columns with the width property of the table set to 2200 and No wrap is set to TRUE on all the columns.
Is there any possible way to render inline horizontal scrollbar for the table instead of rendering the scrollbars on an OAF page ?
Please help me.
Regards
Srikanth Enuguru

I cant help you with the Inline scroll bar you are looking for (dont think we have anything like this in OA Framework). But you can ponder over the idea of showing another region using hide/show feature. You can use this region to show all the additional information for which you need so many columns.

How to create Horizontal scrollbar

I am using Form6i, how to create a horizontal scrollbar for a multi-record block?
Thanks!

A horizontal scroll bar is not an object that you can drag or resize like a vertical scrollbar. It is implicitly created when needed.
To get a horizontal scroll bar, you have to place the items you want to scroll on a STACKED CANVAS and set property Show Horizontal Scroll Bar of this canvas to Yes.

JTable - Horizontal Scrollbar - Column Width

I wish to add a horizontal scrollbar(which for some stupid reason Java has not included) to my JTable which is inside a JScrollPane and also make sure that the width of the fourth column is longer and can fit the String that i wish to display. Now, i have searched the forum for solutions but none of them seem to work. The setting of the column width with the help of TableColumnModel does not seem to work and not to mention the fact that when i turn auto rezise off for the JTable, the JTable does give me a horizontal scrollbar but then it makes the columns so less in width that i have gray area left on the right hand side and the setColumnsToFit method does not work. I have five columns and here is the code, any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks:
excepTable = new JTable(excepTableModel);
excepTable.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
int width = 100;
TableColumnModel tcm;
TableColumn tc;
for(int i = excepTable.getColumnCount(); i > 0; i--)
tcm = (TableColumnModel)excepTable.getColumnModel();
tc = tcm.getColumn(i);
if(i == 3)
width = 400;
tc.setWidth(width);
tc.setMinWidth(width);
tc.setMaxWidth(width);
tc.setPreferredWidth(width);
width = 100;
exScroller = new JScrollPane(excepTable);

How to make JTable use horizontal scrollbar

My application uses a table to which data is added dynamically(both columns and rows). My problem is that when number of columns increase i want JTable to use horizontal scrollbar instead of resizing columns(which i achieve by setting resize mode to OFF state), But due to this if number of columns are less then there's alot of empty space left after showing columns(coz JTable cannot resize cols to fit Viewport area). To achieve both criteria i used following solution
1. Set Auto resizing to OFF.
2. Check if width of table is less than viewport width and if so then set auto
auto resizing ON :) which will fit columns in viewport thereby occupying empty space.
But this solution doesn't seem to be straight and simple to me. Is anyone aware of a simple solution to this problem.
Dimension dm_Dm = new Dimension();
    RSBrowser.setModal(false);
    browseTable_Jt.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
    // reqd o.w. JTable resizes column widths instead of using horizontal
    // scrollbar
    RSBrowser.setVisible(true);
    browseTable_Jt.getSize(dm_Dm);
    // if table width is less than total viewport size then fill the extra
    // space by setting suto resize property to ON.
    if ( browseTable_Jt.getPreferredScrollableViewportSize().getWidth() >
         dm_Dm.getWidth() )
        browseTable_Jt.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_SUBSEQUENT_COLUMNS);
        browseTable_Jt.doLayout();
    RSBrowser.setModal(true);

hi,
with your problem statement it seems you should use javax.swing.JScrollPane like the one below
JScrollPane tableScroller = new JScrollPane(yourTable);
tableScroller.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
tableScroller.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);hope this helps you,

Afroze.
