Scrolling a JPanel

[Casen Densmore]

Hello,

I am having trouble with scrolling a JPanel. When it displays the JPanel it is scrolled all the way to the bottom and I can't seem to find a method where I can force the initial location of the "knob" on the Scrollbar.

Here is how I implement the JPanel

      JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
      scrollPane.getViewport().add(rightPanel);     
      jSplitPane1.setRightComponent(scrollPane);
      

I am using a GridBagLayout for the JPanel where I place some buttons and text. Right now I am doing an uber-ugly hack where I place a empty JTextArea at the very top of the JPanel and set the caret position to 0 on that component, but what is the reason it is scrolling all the way to the bottom?

Thanks,
Casen

scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().setValue(0);

Michael,

JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
scrollPane.getViewport().add(m_itemPanel);


Obviously, My problem is adding JScrollPane(Scrollable bar) to JPanel.
JPanel has set of Radio Buttons with 3 in each line. I want to have Scrollable Pane visible and whenever buttons exceed the size of window, I can scroll down.

Help will be appreciated
