JScrollPane and JFrame

[godcomplex]

Hello Everyone,

I have a JFrame with a JScrollPane set as its content pane. The viewport view for the scroll pane is set as a panel, with a number of labels, buttons, lists, etc. added to it. The problem is, when I make the window smaller than the panel with all of the components, I don't get the scroll bars like I would expect.

I know there probably something really dumb that I am forgetting to do, but does anyone have any ideas how to get this to work. BTW, I can post a little code if some of you think that may help, but its pretty straight forward.

-gc "I don't look busy because I did it right the first time."

unless you explicitly set the scrollbars to appear at all times, they will only appear once your panel requires them i.e. when your data gets larger than the space they are held in.
