How to append a scrollbar for the window?

Question

How to append a scroll pane for my window?

The program compiles properly, but the scroll pane for the window is not created. I really don't know why this is happening. I defined JScrollPane and even implemented it with scrollPane = new JScrollPane

Where is my mistake?

Below is my code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JButton;

public class RegForm extends JFrame implements ItemListener{

scrollPane.add(l11);

Never add components directly to a scroll pane.

l1.setBounds(10,70,100,50);

Don't use setBounds(...). It is the job of the layout manager to set the size/location of the component.

The basic logic would be:

JPanel panel = new JPanel(); // set your layout manager for the panel.
panel.add( someComponent );
panel.add( anotherComponent );
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( panel );
frame.add( scrollPane );

Read the Swing Tutorial for Swing basics. Every section in the tutorial has working examples. Maybe start with the section on How to Use Scroll Panes.
