GroupLayout: JScrollPane in TextArea is not working
- by Dozent
i'm new in java and recently started to develop an simple application. For the moment i have a problem with JScrollPanne, it's not able to scroll down (or up) when the text in textarea more than size of area. I have looked to some solutions, but all of them were for FlowLayot (GridLayout and BoxLayout), but not for GroupLayout. Here is the code:
JPanel conent_p = new JPanel();
conent_p.setBorder(new TitledBorder(null, "", TitledBorder.LEADING, TitledBorder.TOP, null, null));
JLabel lblItemName = new JLabel("Item name:");
itemField = new JTextField();
itemField.setColumns(10);
JLabel lblMxPrice = new JLabel("Max price:");
mpriceField = new JTextField();
mpriceField.setColumns(10);
JLabel lblQuantity = new JLabel("Quantity:");
quanField = new JTextField();
quanField.setColumns(10);
JLabel lblDelivery = new JLabel("Delivery:");
delivField = new JTextField();
delivField.setColumns(10);
JLabel lblLogcat = new JLabel("LogCat:");
final JTextArea txtConsole = new JTextArea();
txtConsole.setEditable(false);
txtConsole.setLineWrap(true);
txtConsole.setWrapStyleWord(true);
sbrText = new JScrollPane(txtConsole);
sbrText.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
// Now create a new TextAreaOutputStream to write to our JTextArea control and wrap a
// PrintStream around it to support the println/printf methods.
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(new TextAreaOutputStream(txtConsole));
// redirect standard output stream to the TextAreaOutputStream
System.setOut(out);
// redirect standard error stream to the TextAreaOutputStream
System.setErr(out);
GroupLayout gl_conent_p = new GroupLayout(conent_p);
gl_conent_p.setHorizontalGroup(
