Hello all! Again thanks for viewing my thread. The past couple of days I have been struggling with trying to add JPanels to a JScrollPane. Basically I have data to display that comes in from another application in the form of a JPanel with regular updates. I am trying to come up with a solution that will allow me to scroll down the JFrame assuming that I have more JPanels that will fit on the screen if that makes sense. I am not even sure if my solution will work.
Anyhow, the code below is just the JFrame class that I have been trying to get to work. In this case I am just trying to add multiple buttons to a JPanel then display the JPanel inside of a JScrollPane so I can scroll down to see all the buttons. So far this does not work. Any help will be grateful. I think I have been on a caffeine high that past couple of days because of this problem. Thanks!
Dan
