Hi guy,

im having a problem with not being able to scroll inside a JTable's cell. I have a cell with JScroll pane added to it. Within that there is a JLabel representing the text to be displayed. But the horizontal scroll bar does not seem to work. Following i have added the test code i have used for this.



Any help in this regard is much appreciated guys. I even looked at the threads here and there was one issue listed here but did not have a clear answer.

A renderer isn't added to any visible component hierarchy and can't receive input events. What you see in a JTable's cells is the image of the renderer component.

Use a custom editor. An editor responds to input events (obviously!)

I even looked at the threads here and there was one issue listed here but did not have a clear answer.


A link to that thread might help us to help you better.

Note that the linked thread suggests the same solution.
