Resizing ScrollPane and Dimension

Question

I am currently making a scrollbar program using ScrollPane and Dimension. I have to use those classes.
When I click "ok" button, that calls dc.enlarge(500,800) method. But it doesn't work.
When it is clicked, Dimension object should be changed and the panel has to show Horizotal
and Vertical scrollbar according to the width and height parameters.
Of course, the size will be calculated by the String contents object's rows and width. But it does not work.
How to resize the Dimension and How to display the Horizontal, Vertical scrollbar accoring to dc.enlarge's parameters?
Plz... help me...

The class names have been changed so you can run this as-is without name-clashing.
