The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

scroll bars in swing

Asked by lj8866 in Java Programming Language, Java AWT & Swing, New to Java Programming

Tags: appear, contentpane, jscrollpane, swing

I am making a swing program in Java. I am instantiating a DemoFrame (inherited from JFrame) in my main class. In this DemoFrame class, I am instantiating a JScrollPane class. The JScrollPane adds a DemoPanel class (inherited off JPanel) which is where the drawing takes place. Then the DemoFrame adds the JScrollPane. I have the view policy set to always view for the scrollbars. The drawing that goes on in DemoPanel is way larger than the window which holds it. However, the problem is that the scroll bars appear but they aren't scrollable. i.e. the program doesnt think that the scrollbars are necessary but displays them because of the always policy. Here's my code:


import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

class DemoFrame extends JFrame
{
  private DemoPanel panel;
  private int height, width;
  private Vector path;

  public DemoFrame(Hashtable h, int height, int width, Vector path)
  {
    super("window");
    final int DEFAULT_FRAME_WIDTH = 300;
    final int DEFAULT_FRAME_HEIGHT = 300;
    this.height = height;
    this.width = width;
    this.path = path;

    // set the size of the frame window
    setSize(DEFAULT_FRAME_WIDTH, DEFAULT_FRAME_HEIGHT);

    // create and install a "listener object"
    // (event handler) to listen for window events
    WindowCloser listener = new WindowCloser();
    addWindowListener(listener);

    // create a panel object and install it in
    // the "content pane"
    panel = new DemoPanel(h, height, width, path);

    JScrollPane js = new JScrollPane(panel, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
    js.setVisible(true);
    js.setOpaque(true);
    js.setWheelScrollingEnabled(true);

    Container contentPane = getContentPane();
    contentPane.add(js, "Center");

    this.setVisible(true);
  }
}

********************************************************

import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

class DemoPanel extends JPanel
{
  private Hashtable h;
  private int cellwidth = 10;
  private int cellheight = 10;
  private int height, width;
  private int ULx = 50, ULy = 50;
  private Vector path;

  public DemoPanel(Hashtable h, int height, int width, Vector path)
  {
    this.h = h;
    this.setVisible(true);
    this.setSize(900, 900);
    this.height = height;
    this.width = width;
    this.path = path;
  }

  public void paint(Graphics g)
  {
       //paint method
      //draws really really big picture
  }
}

What should I do?
