How to Add Scroll bars to a frame

[Gaurav Chikara]

I am trying to add a scrollpane to my frame and get the exception as trying to add window to a container
I don't know how to add scroll bar to a container
Can any one pls give me some sample code to start
I will be highly thankful

Are you adding the JFrame to the JScrollPane???
This is hou you use a JScrollPane:

  
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
JPanel content = new JPanel();//this is the panel that will be scrolled
JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(content);
frame.getContentPane().add(pane);

Does it mean that we have to use Panel only for adding scrollPane to a Frame

[Nathan Pruett]

This should also work. Just add the following lines after all the components have been added to your JFrame -

        Container c = getContentPane();
        JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane( c );
        setContentPane( scroll );

Thanks for replying
but can you tell me if I make my content pane as JScrollpane then which layout should I use
Can I use Box Layout in that case?
I try to add on this pane and nothing comes on frame, neither scroll bar not components
