increase internal frame hieght

Hi experts,
I have an internal frame with a text field. Each time the text field enters a word it is dispayed on the internal frame as labels (under each other)
the internal frame has a scrollbar but the frame stays the same size while the words are entered and you need to maximize it to see them all.
I would like it to gradually increase in hieght as each name is entered.
thanks

I dont know if this is what you want but this example extends the size of a JInternalFrame every time
you add a letter to the label of a JInternalFrame. Hope yo like it.
