Setting boundaries for a JScrollPane

[jeremytaffy]

I created a JPanel named "Row1" that had a flowlayout.
I then created a JScrollPane by using the following command:

JScrollPane scroll1 = new JScrollPane(row1, ....);

I added "scroll1" to the container I'm working on.

The problem is that I have several buttons on row1 that I want to use. However, the buttons keep flowing to the right when "scroll1" is added to the container instead of starting again on a new line when the line is full. Is there any way to set some boundary so that the buttons would flow as usual even if a ScrollPane is added?

Please Let me know. Thanks.

Have you tried the methods - setPreferredSize(), setMaximumSize(), setMinimumSize() ?

These control the Layout Manager packing rules.
