[SOLVED] Horizontal scrolling in a jTable

vitorsgoncalves · 03-10-2011, 09:43 AM

I am creating an application in java that uses a jTable for showing some data.
There are multiple columns in that table, an I do not want to show them all at once, so the user slides the horizontal scroll for viewing the remaining columns.

How can I do that?

It should be enough to call

Code:

table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);

Certainly, this works with the SimpleTableDemo from Oracle (if it doesn't work with your code, perhaps you can post it so we can see why not)
Hope this helps

It was so simple... I have searched in the web without success.

Thanks.
