ScrollPaneOverview example

[Maurice]

Hi,

I would like to create a panel with a JTable and a permanent ScrollPaneOverview on the side of the table. I am having some problems and could not find an example on the DEMO examples.

I am trying to do the following:

Code: Select all

        JideScrollPane scrollpane = new JideScrollPane();
        scrollpane.setViewportView(table);
        scrollpane.setHorizontalScrollBarCoversWholeWidth(true);
        scrollpane.setVerticalScrollBarCoversWholeHeight(true);
       
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        final ScrollPaneOverview scrollPaneOverview = new ScrollPaneOverview(scrollpane, panel);
        scrollPaneOverview.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 100));
        panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 100));
        panel.add(scrollPaneOverview);
       
        add(scrollpane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        add(panel, BorderLayout.WEST);
   scrollPaneOverview.display();


Any tips or even an example would be appreciated.

Many Thanks.

Can you please elaborate the issue you are having? Basically we would recommend you use a JButton as ScrollPaneOverview's owner and call display() on action listener of the button.

I am trying to add the overview to a JPanel which will sit next to the table being viewed.

The problem I am having is that I would like to have a permanent view of the table in an overview panel, which users can then use to move themselves around what is a large data set.

I don't want the user to have to click a button to do this. However, when I use the code below nothing is displayed.

Many Thanks

I'm afraid ScrollPaneOverview does not fit your request very well. As you can see from the source code, on displaying, it will show a popup. The reason you didn't see any is that, the popup is hidden on focus change later on. You may have to create your own component to achieve your goal.

Thanks,
