Question

JScrollPane for a panel containing a set of labels with BoxLayout

Answer 1

+1 A:

For this kind of thing, you'd normally use a JList or JTable (if you need custom rendering).

Yes I could. I am considering this. In my case this is a game which is keyboard oriented so it's a fair amount more code to implement with a List over a set of labels. But you are right. I could do it this way.

Answer 2

+1 A:

Make sure that you call validate() or revalidate() on the JScrollPane after adding an item, to force the preferred size of the panel to be recalculated.

That didn't seem to work for me. See below.

Answer 3

A:

Here's how I did it.

JPanel midPanel = new JPanel();
midPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(midPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
midPanel.add(new JLabel("<html><u>Label</u>"));
Box box = Box.createVerticalBox();
for (Item item : data.getInventory()) {
    inventory.add(box.add(new JLabel(item.getName())));
}

JScrollPane jscrlpBox = new JScrollPane(box);
midPanel.add(jscrlpBox);
add(midPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
