JTable horizontal scrollbar in Java

Question

Is there any way to enable horizontal scrollbar whenever necessary??

The situation was as such:

I've a JTable on Netbeans, one of the cells, stored a long length of data. Hence, I need to have horizontal scrollbar. Anyone has idea on this?

THanks in advance for any helps..

Answer 1

First, add your JTable inside a JScrollPane and set the policy for the existence of scrollbars:

new JScrollPane(myTable, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);

Then, indicate that your JTable must not auto-resize the columns by setting the AUTO_RESIZE_OFF mode:

myJTable.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
