I have had trouble with scrollbars using netbeans 5.5.1

Question

I have had trouble getting a vertical and horizontal scrollbar working in my GUI. I am new to programming but I have books but I find them difficult to follow because they follow the old netbeans GUI models that requires all of the code to be written for example the scrollbar has to be created and then the parameters have to be set. However with the 5.5.1 the scrollbar has already been created and the parameters of the maximum the minimum and the event have already been set.
Therefore when you follow the books they explain the whole process rather than the last part which is all that is needed. I have selected the scrollbar and then pressed the right mouse button to get the menu up where I selected Events and then Adjustments, which then displayed the following script,
" private void jScrollBar1AdjustmentValueChanged(java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent evt) {
// TODO add your handling code here:"
I know that I have to delete the //TODO add your handling code here and then insert the event handling code. I have tried to put in a lot of different event handler codes to try to get it to work but I have had no luck. Can anybody help. I have asked a few people but they have had trouble with it too.

Answer 1

Please can somebody provide me with a scirpt example.
I would really appreciate it.This was not made in Netbeans but it shows you how to use scrollpanes with a viewportview and listeners.
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextPane;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
public class SwingExample {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
          //Create scrollpane
          JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane();
          //Create textpane to embed in Scrollpane
          JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
          //Add listener to textpane to listen for a KeyEvent
          textPane.addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {
               //unimplemented methods, not reuqired for example
               public void keyPressed(KeyEvent arg0) {}
               public void keyReleased(KeyEvent arg0) {}
               //Implemented method - prints current key typed.
               public void keyTyped(KeyEvent arg0) {
                    char myChar = arg0.getKeyChar();
                    System.out.println("You Typed: "+myChar);
          //Add textpane to scrollpane
          scrollpane.setViewportView(textPane);
          //add scrollpane to frame
          frame.add(scrollpane);
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.setVisible(true);
          frame.setSize(new Dimension(400,400));
}
