I have been looking for a way to add a vertical scroll bar to a JPanel
that in turn is added to a CardLayout
panel. I looked up all the posts around here that were concerned with implementing a scrollable JPanel
but I couldn't figure out how to implemented it with this specific CardLayout
. Oracle doesn't give an example that I could use either.
Perhaps I don't use the right configuration for the JWindow
or any other component that Im using.
I have placed below a stripped-down version of my program for which I'd like to implement a vertical scroll bar.
My question is how to implement JPanelScrollable
class at the bottom of the code so that it can become scrollable ?
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.URL ;
public class Program2 extends JFrame
{
public Program2()
{
super("Flash CC");
Container2 container = new Container2();
setSize(700, 800);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setFocusable( true ) ;
add(container);
setVisible(true) ;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Program2 prog = new Program2();
}
}
class Container2 extends JPanel
{
private CardLayout cardLayout = new CardLayout() ;
private JPanel1 jPanelFirst = new JPanel1() ;
private JPanel2 jPanelSecond = new JPanel2() ;
private JPanelScrollable jPanelThird = new JPanelScrollable() ;
//Constructor
Container2()
{
this.setLayout( cardLayout ) ;
this.setFocusable( true ) ;
JScrollPane scrollFrame = new JScrollPane(jPanelThird);
this.add( jPanelFirst, "first card" ) ;
this.add( jPanelSecond, "second card" ) ;
this.add( scrollFrame , "third card" ) ;
cardLayout.show( this, "third card" ) ;
}
}
class JPanel1 extends JPanel
{
}
class JPanel2 extends JPanel
{
}
class JPanelScrollable extends JPanel
{
// here many, many, many elemnts will go
// and a vertical scroll barr is needed to view'm all.
JPanelScrollable()
{
this.setOpaque( true ) ;
this.setLayout( null ) ;
for(int i=0; i<30; i++)
{
JButton b = new JButton("Button" + i) ;
b.setBounds(0, (i * 100), 100, 50) ;
this.add(b) ;
}
}
}
