Re: need a swing ref

["David W" <davdouglas69@hotmail.com>]

Sometimes lady luck looks down and grins.  Friday afternoon around 4:55 pm
was one of those times.
We had subclass a Java Canvas object which is an AWT, heavyweight object.
The rest of the project is a Swing app. Ouch!  I created a different class,
same code, subclassing JPanel instead.  After creating that object I then
added a JScrollPane object in the class that was referencing the Canvas and
instead passed the new JPanel class into it as part of its constructor.  I
also set the policy in the constructor and amount to increment when it
moves.

And it works!  It took me 2 days to learn about this and this was a pain
just to add scrollbars!

gotta run,
