Hello,

i am having some trouble in implementing a JScrollPane for a JTable (im showing database records there via SQL). 

The JScrollPane is placed on a JPanel which in turn resides on my main frame. My main Frame has a GridBagLayout.The JPanel has also a GridBagLayout.

I am using table.setSize(...) to make the JTable bigger than the screen. This works ok. Now im using 

table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(t);

where t is a region inside the screen (smaller than the JTable).
Now: how big do i have to make the JScrollPane? 

1) if i make the JScrollPane as big as the JTable, then there appears a horizontal ScrollBar (scroller.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
but it has no knob for scrolling (i assume because they have the same size, the system thinks its not necessary)

2) if i make the JScrollPane as big as t (inside the screen), the JTable becomes also smaller (which i do not want - i want the JTable to be bigger than the screen).

Does somebody have a hint how i can get a horizontal scrollbar which works for a JTable which is bigger than the screen?

thanks

Oliver
