Horizontal Scrolling in JTextArea???

Hi,
I have disabled horizontal scrolling in a textarea with this command,
scrollpane1 = new JScrollPane(ta,ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS,ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
where ta is my textarea.
But whenever i continue typing the text continues in the same line even if the end of the textarea is reached and does not automatically go to the second line. How do i make it continue to the next line as soon as the width of the textarea is reached. Please help.

This is called wrapping. Check out the JTextArea API:
setLineWrap(boolean wrap)
setWrapStyleWord(boolean word)

Horizontal scroll bar on JTextPane

Hey everyone! I need to know how I can add a horizontal scroll bar to a jTextPane. I can NOT use a jTextArea though because I need to be using a StyledDocument. Right now, when I add it to a jScrollPane, it only scrolls vertically, but it wordwraps. Thanks for reading!

Override getScrollableTracksViewportHeight() method to return false and at the same time, override setSize() method to adjust size of text pane. Following example shows this:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextPane;
* TextPane without wrap.
* @author mrityunjoy_saha
* @version 1.0

public class NoWrapTextPaneTest {
    private JTextPane editor;
    public NoWrapTextPaneTest() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("NoWrapTextPaneTest");
        frame.setSize(new Dimension(300, 400));
        //frame.setResizable(false);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        this.editor = new JTextPane() {
            @Override
            public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportWidth() {
                return false;
            @Override
            public void setSize(Dimension d) {
                Dimension pSize = getParent().getSize();
                if (d.width < pSize.width) {
                    super.setSize(pSize.width, d.height);
                } else {
                    super.setSize(d);
        frame.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(editor,
                JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS,
                JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED));

Help with code for inserting horizontal scroll bar in photo gallery in Business Catalyst site?

Hi,
I am using Business Catalyst and Dreamweaver to create a trial site.
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this request but anyway I have inserted a photo gallery module at the bottom of the sidebar in the homepage of my test site.
Can anyone advise on whether jquery or any other code can be inserted into the page or module code that will replace the "next" hyperlink below the first 4 photos with a horizontal scroll bar at bottom of the gallery so users can just scroll through all 12 images ?
Kind Regards, Matt.

Alyssa,
Have you tried putting this rule back as it was originally:
/* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to auto so it comes onto the screen below its parent menu item */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
    left: auto; /*was 9px*/
    color: #EF9CCF;
    background-color: #FFF;
That is, changing your 9px back to auto.
And giving us a link (as you did) is much better than printing out the code for us! Thanks!

How to get the Horizontal Scroll Bar for a Table?

Hi All,
As per my requirement, I am displaying several records in a Screen in a Tabular Format. But here I have to show 21 Columns in that table which is too high. I am able to display it but due to it I am getting a Horizontal scroll bar for the whole screen since all the columns are not getting displayed in the normal window screen space. But its looking too odd since once I am scrolling it to right the columns are getting displayed but the above Header Bar and Global buttons are not displaying, they are bound to the normal screen space.
Is there a way to have a Horizontal scroll bar only for that table instead of the entire screen so that on scrolling that bar only the table rows will beshifted ant got displayed?
With Thanks
Kumar Gautam

try this approach.
include a raw text item before and table item.
include the appropriate HTML tags in raw text item to enable horizontal scroll

Expand horizontal scroll panel on both sides for a zoom in effect

Hi,
I'm creating an interactive timeline with Flash Catalyst. It is set up as a long horizontal scroll panel which contains buttons that link to states with photos and text about historic events. One feature I would like to include is a zoom feature, like the one found on the bbc British history timeline (http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/interactive/timelines/british/index_embed.shtml ). E.g., when you click on a colored section of the horizontal scroll panel it will zoom in to view that timeframe in more detail.
The problem I'm running into is that I can't expand the scroll panel to the left. So, I can go into edit mode for the scrolling content, create a second state, and enlarge the scrolling content in that second state to create a zoom in effect. However, because the scrolling content will only expand to the right, I can't line up the interaction correctly.
Is there a workaround for this in Flash Catalyst?

have a peek at this:
on the left, the corner radius (the red line) is enough to create a curve on the inside of the stroke. on the right, it isn't large enough.

How do I view the Horizontal Scrolling bar and status bar at the bottom of the screen. I can only see the top menus, toolbars and vertical scroll bar?

Before the most recent upgrade, the bottom horizontal scrolling bar and status bar appeared on my screen. Now since upgrading, I cannot see the. Anyone ideas how to restore them?

If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
Good luck & happy computing!

the moment I'm not concerned with other browsers. Can anybody tell
me how to get rid of that little guy?

My horizontal scroll bar went missing when I maximise the window. How do I fix them?

My horizontal scroll bar went missing when I maximise the window. How do I fix them? I tried everything; such as auto hide the task bar. Even with this, I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar. I even tried the following and I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar.
1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste dom and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars preference to switch it from false to true. By choosing true, you disable sites from deciding whether there can be scrollbars on a window, and Firefox uses its standard behavior for the page.
If you want to always get other bars, here are the corresponding settings:
Menu Bar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar
Navigation Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar
Bookmarks Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar
Please help.

Can you post a screen shot?

Left Aligning an Anchor object in a horizontal scroll

I'm sure the answer to this is going to be so simple I'll be forced to learn how to kick myself.
I have a website that contains a static header section and a table row that contains a number of pictures in a horizontal scroll. The rest of the page does not scroll, just this one table row.
I want to be able to designate some of the pictures as the starting point for a new section.   So I created an reference link at the top of the page,
<a href="#portraits">PORTRAITS</a>
and then designated one of the pictures to be the target
Start of table row
<table><tr>
<td>...........pictures
<td><a name="portraits">
<img src="gallery/5a.gif" alt="" class="transparent5" /></a>
<p class="notes">PORTRAITS</p>
<p class="title">→ </p></td>
<td>
........continues on,
So the question is, once a user clicks the reference how can I ensure the target aligns on the left side of the page?    currently what is happening is it is just being brought into view on the right hand side.     This isn't the estetic the site owner wants.
Thanks for looking.

Hi Nancy, (or anyone else with input )
I can't seem to invoke the horizontal scroll for the site. It may be because I have the scrolling in a single table within the body and the script seems to be calling out the full <body> tag for the target.
my feeble attempt is here - http://www.lightmonkey.ca/indexjs.html
The button list looks like this,
<ul id="nav" class="scroll" >
    <a href="#portraits">PORTRAITS </a>
    <a href="#performance">PERFORMANCE    </a>
    <a href="#editorial">LIFESTYLE + EDITORIAL    </a>
    <a href="#industrial">INDUSTRIAL </a>
    <span class="style6"><a href="http://lightmonkeyphotography.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">BLOG  </a></span>
    <a href="#contact">CONTACT </a></ul></td>
So I think the JS function will call 'ul.scroll' according to the syntax from the tutorial site, (bold in snippet at bottom)
The start of the scrolling table looks like this,
<div id="main"><div id="gallery">
<table><tr>
<td><a name="portraits">
<img src="gallery/5.gif" alt="" class="transparent5" /></a>
<p class="notes">PORTRAITS</p>
<p class="title">→ </p></td>
<td>
etc
so what would be the function target? (target, my term, also in bold in the snippet below)

        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="reffile/easing.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(function() {
                $('ul.scroll a').bind('click',function(event){
                    var $anchor = $(this);
                    if you want to use one of the easing effects:
                    $('html, body').stop().animate({
                        scrollLeft: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().left
                    }, 1500,'easeInOutExpo');
                    $('html, main').stop().animate({
                        scrollLeft: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().left
                    }, 1000);
                    event.preventDefault();
        </script>
Any suggestions on this?
Thanks again! tried to just figure it out but 3 dozen combinations have not worked out....

How to make the knob of a horizontal Scroll Bar stay at right

Hi I need some advise to achieve this:
I have a chart continuously deploying towards the right side (think on an electro cardiogram that is continuously feeding data). All the chart information is kept available inside a JScrollPane. What I want to achieve is:
1. if the horizontal scroll bar knob is at the right end of the scroll bar make the end part of the chart be displayed continuously (view is scrolling to the right, the knob stays at the right end)
2. if the user moves the knob left from the right end freeze the motion and just show the selected portion (meanwhile data keeps being fed and stored but not displayed)
3. when the user decides to drag the knob again to the right end the behavior of point # 1 resumes.
The basic swing structure I'm using for this is the following:
public class Electro extends JPanel {
public Electro() {
JFrame f = new JFrame();
JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(this);
f.getContentPane().add(sp);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
I would highly appreciate any feedback from fellow members. Thank you.

hi friend
try this in ur code
public class Electro extends JPanel {
public Electro() {
JFrame f = new JFrame();
JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(this);
sp.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
sp.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
f.getContentPane().add(sp);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
i think it will be help full to you
thanks

Some web sites do not display a horizontal scroll bar but IE does

For example: http://shop.ghirardelli.com/category-exec/category_id/35/nm/Sale/?utm_source=chocomail&utm_medium=pos1_save10-30DL&utm_campaign=20111124

That site uses CCS code (overflow-x:hidden) to hide the horizontal scroll bar.<br />
It is also missing in Google Chrome.

Problem with Horizontal Scroll on java.awt.List

I use the same code for a General Application as a CDC Application.
I have no problem at all with the General Application but on the CDC I can't scroll to the right (horizontal).
Why do I get this problem on the CDC application and not on a regular application?
I use the PP-1.0 Profile for the CDC application. Does it not support horizontal scroll on java.awt.List?

Can horizontal scroll bar be removed?

The listbox controls have horizontal scroll bar that can not be removed by property notes. Is there a way to change it to invisible? Also how do I change the controls from raised or recessed to flat? Thank you for your help.

The only listbox with a horizontal scroll bar is the multicolumn listbox and it does have a property node to remove it or display it. In 8.5, the property is Visible Items>Horizontal Scrollbar Visible.
There are modern controls, classic controls, and system controls on the palette. Pick the one you want or right click on an existing one and select 'Replace'. You can also right click and select Advanced>Customize.
