public class JScrollPane
extends JComponent
implements ScrollPaneConstants, Accessible

A specialized container that manages a viewport, optional vertical and horizontal scrollbars, and optional row and column heading viewports.

The JViewport provides a window, or "viewport" onto a data source -- for example, a text file. That data source is the "scrollable client" (aka data model) displayed by the JViewport view. A JScrollPane basically consists of JScrollBars, a JViewport, and the wiring between them, as shown in the diagram at right.

In addition to the scroll bars and viewport, a JScrollPane can have a column header and a row header. Each of these is a JViewport object that you specify with setRowHeaderView, and setColumnHeaderView. The column header viewport automatically scrolls left and right, tracking the left-right scrolling of the main viewport. (It never scrolls vertically, however.) The row header acts in a similar fashion.

By default, the corners are empty. You can put a component into a corner using setCorner, in case you there is some function or decoration you would like to add to the scroll pane. The size of corner components is entirely determined by the size of the headers and scroll bars that surround them.

To add a border around the main viewport, you can use setViewportBorder. (Of course, you can also add a border around the whole scroll pane using setBorder.)

For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and Feel (L&F) renditions, see the JScrollPane key assignments.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. A future release of Swing will provide support for long term persistence.

See Also:
getViewportBorder(), setViewport(javax.swing.JViewport)

getViewportBorderBounds

public Rectangle getViewportBorderBounds()
Returns the bounds of the viewport border.
Returns:
a Rectangle object specifying the viewport border

Returns:
a JScrollBar with a horizontal orientation
See Also:
JScrollBar

getHorizontalScrollBar

public JScrollBar getHorizontalScrollBar()
Returns the horizontal scroll bar.
Returns:
the scrollbar that controls the viewports horizontal view position

See Also:
createHorizontalScrollBar(), getHorizontalScrollBar()

Returns the current JViewport.
Returns:
the JViewport currently in use
See Also:
setViewport(javax.swing.JViewport)

public void setViewport(JViewport viewport)
Remove the old viewport (if there is one), force the viewPosition of the new viewport to be in the +x,+y quadrant, sync up the row and column headers (if there are any) with the new viewport, and finally sync the scrollbars and headers with the new viewport.

Most applications will find it more convenient to use setViewportView to add a viewport and a view to the scrollpane.

See Also:
createViewport(), getViewport(), setViewportView(java.awt.Component)

setViewportView

public void setViewportView(Component view)
Creates a viewport if neccessary and then sets its view. Applications that don't provide the view directly to the JScrollPane constructor should use this method to specify the scrollable child that's going to be displayed in the scrollpane, e.g.:
 JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane();
 scrollpane.setViewportView(myBigComponentToScroll);
 
Applications should not add children directly to the scrollpane.
Parameters:
view - the Component to add to the viewport
See Also:
setViewport(javax.swing.JViewport), JViewport.setView(java.awt.Component)

getRowHeader

public JViewport getRowHeader()

Returns:
the JViewport for the row header
See Also:
setRowHeader(javax.swing.JViewport)

See Also:
getRowHeader(), setRowHeaderView(java.awt.Component)

setRowHeaderView

public void setRowHeaderView(Component view)
Creates a row-header viewport if neccessary, sets its view and then adds the row-header viewport to the scrollpane. For example:

If an old columnHeader exists, remove it. If the new columnHeader isn't null, sync the x coordinate of the its viewPosition with the viewport (if there is one) and then add it to the ScrollPane.

Most applications will find it more convenient to use setRowHeaderView to add a row header component and its viewport to the scrollpane.

See Also:
getColumnHeader(), setColumnHeaderView(java.awt.Component)

setColumnHeaderView

public void setColumnHeaderView(Component view)
Creates a column-header viewport if neccessary, sets its view and then adds the column-header viewport to the scrollpane. For example:

Although "corner" isn't doesn't match any beans property signature, PropertyChange events are generated with the property name set to the corner key.

Parameters:
key - identifies which corner the component will appear in
