arranging image icon and JScrollPane horizontally and more...

Hi!

I am trying to arrange image icon and JScrollPane horizontally. This is a sample site.

http://webdev.apl.jhu.edu/~rbe/java/Homework5/index.html

****************************************
JLabel explanatoryArea = new JLabel("This is a explanatory area.");
scrollPane = new JScrollPane(explanatoryArea);
scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(50, 60));
container.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.NORTH);

***********************************
Also, if I want my text start from left top corner in the scrollpane, how do I do it?
I don't think JLabel is the way...

thanks,

You probably want to look into JTextArea.

This question is not about JTextArea, but arranging icon and jscrollpane just like sample.
(if you resize the sample wizard, you will know it is scrollpane.)

Look into the various layout managers.

The dialog showing in the example I would have made out of 2 JPanels. 1st panel at top with the icon and text using FlowLayout. 2nd panel at bottom, Flowlayout again. Using BorderLayout for the main panel. JLabel is an excellent way of showing an image icon.
