I want to have a jpanel with fixed size without layout manager in jscrollpane (which will be also without layout manager). I cant use any layout manager because i need to create an rectangle/circle at a location where user clicks (and allow drag & drop for all the created emelents)
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setSize(300,300);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setName("dnd test");
int v=ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED;
int h=ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED;
JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(panel,v,h);
scroll.setLayout(null);
scroll.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(1000, 1000));
scroll.setBounds(0, 0, 1000, 1000);
panel = buildComponentOnAbsoluteLayout(new JPanel(),scroll,0,0,500,500);
panel.setBackground(Color.darkGray);
panel.setSize(350,350);
panel.setLayout(null);
buildComponentOnAbsoluteLayout(new JButton("button 1"),panel,10,10,120,30);
buildComponentOnAbsoluteLayout(new JButton("button 1"),panel,50,50,120,30);
add(scroll);
setVisible(true);
public static <T extends JComponent> T buildComponentOnAbsoluteLayout(T t,Container holder,int x, int y,int width, int heigth){
t.setBounds(x,y,width,heigth);
holder.add(t);
return t;
}
Scrollbar will never pop up.
