Rich,

Sam talked about a ScrollPane and a Panel inside a Frame. The ScrollPane
shall be size based on a percentage of the size of the frame. I assume the
panel should get the remainder. Pretty much like a BorderLayout with, say,
the ScrollPane NORTH or SOUTH and the panel CENTER. If that's what he was
after it can be done with a null/XY layout, why not.

Of cause a null layout scales nothing, it's a formlessvoid ;-) He has to
make it himself... err, I mean - actually he showed code that intended just
that - inside a componentResized event handler.

No?
