How to show 10 bottom rows instead of showing 10 top rows of table as defau

Question

A table was created with JTable class and JScrollPane class. If you run the following code, it always shows you the top 10 rows, the scrollbar stays at the right-top by default. However, what I want the program to show is the bottom 10 rows (The table has 30 rows totally) and the scrollbar should stay at the right-bottom as default. I should greatly appreciate it if anybody could tell me how to implement this scenario.

Answer 1

Dimension d = table.getSize();
scrollpane.getViewport().setViewPosition( new Point( 0,
          (int)d.getHeight() ) );This sets it to the end of the table, you might need to edit it to do as you require.
