java - how can I scroll my JFrame using the JScrollbar?

Question

I have a problem.

I have a JFrame with some JTextFields, JLabels, Jlists & JButtons now the contents of my frame is more than the screen area so I want to attach a JScrollBar to my JFrame but my srollbar does not work. So, can anyone please guide me on how I can scroll my JFrame using the JScrollbar?

Answer 1

1. Put all the components in one panel (instead of in the JFrame)
2. Add this panel to a JScrollPane
3. Add the JScrollPane to your frame.

I should be something like:

JPanel container = new JPanel();
container.add(panel1);
container.add(Panel2);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(container);
frame.add(jsp);
