JPanel bounds with ScrollPane

[eircom]

Hi,
I'm drawing some stuff in a JPanel, while drawing, some of the things drawn are outside the size of the panel, I was hoping to use a ScrollPane to handle this. While drawing I try and change the bounds of the panel setSize() setBounds(). When I put the panel into the ScrollPane it never works. The size of the JPanel is always reduced to just less then the size of the ScrollPane so I loose everything outside the bounds.
HELP!!!
Thanks

class testing extends JFrame
{
   JPanel panel = new JPanel();
   JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(panel);
   sp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(150,150));
   getContentPane.add(sp);
   .
   .
   .
}

should work. you can of course place the scrollpane 'sp' onto another panel instead of the jframe.

If it doesn't work, can we have a look at your code perhaps? -------------------------------------------
