JScrollPane for multiple labels

Question

I am working on a program that has a flow layout, inside are a set of labels and because there are so many they do not all display. Is there anyway to add a scroll pane to scroll through all of these labels horizontally?

JPanel mainpanel = new JPanel();
     mainpanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(mainpanel, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
        pane.add(mainpanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);

        JPanel rightpanel = new JPanel();
        rightpanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
            rightpanel.add(new JLabel("Label " + i));
        }
        mainpanel.add(new JLabel("Left label"));
        mainpanel.add(new JScrollPane(rightpanel));

Answer 1

Not sure what your question really is, since you already know you need to use a JScrollPane. How about:

public class ScrollLabels
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Labels");

        JPanel mainpanel = new JPanel();
        mainpanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(mainpanel, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
        frame.add(mainpanel);

        JPanel rightpanel = new JPanel();
        rightpanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
            rightpanel.add(new JLabel("Label " + i));
        }
        mainpanel.add(new JLabel("Left label"));
        mainpanel.add(new JScrollPane(rightpanel));
        frame.setSize(500, 100);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

I'd suggest ot use JList or JTable with one Column or Row (depends or direction), Object in the JList or JTable is JLabel/JComponent by default
