JTable=> scrollpane problem

[Sandhya Rprasad]

Hi
My GUI comprises of the following :
JAPplet => Bean =>( JScrollPane => JTable and some buttons)
I'm loading the table with some data . It has 4 columns and n rows with the rows increasing by the data loaded. I've made the last 2 columns hidden. Now, when I'm trying to add the data, my JTable is growing in size without the scrollpane appearing . This is covering up the buttons inside the bean since the JTable's size is >sing. Could somebody suggest me with a solution.I'd really appreciate a faster response.
Thanks
sandhya

here you go mate this method should sort it out as i had the same problem.
setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
then set the scrollbar to appear always.

HI Rob, Thanks for the response but the scrollpane becomes very small and still does'nt make the scrollbar appear. Okay, the problem is the last 2 columns are hidden(there are 4 columns).
So, what's happening is when I make the size of the bean small, instead of the vertical scrollbar appearing, a horizontal scrollbar sort appears on the vertical side of the scrollpane. Also the table is covering up the rest components of the bean. I guess this is a little weird to explain, but I've tried to be clear .. I hope. So, if you come up with some ideas, do let me know.
Thanks
Sandhya

Add the JTable to a JPanel and then add the JPanel to the JScrollPane. This helped me when I had this trouble.
Hope this helps.
