GridLayout

Thanks for the response.

I don't think i can use a JTable for this particular problem (or i dont have enough experience w/JTable).

Here is what im trying to do:

Each row is a message which joins to another table which has various codes for that message,

they would like it to work like a word processor app, but i need to keep each line seprate

(adhere to the normalized db design).

each row will need jbuttons/jtextfields etc (for adding, editing, deleting message lines).

so what i did is... query the db build that many jPanels put them into a JGridLayout and showed on the screen.

everything works fine.

but when they make changes to a panel, i need a way to get that panel from the layout manager.

not components from JPanel, but JPanels from GridLayout.

or maybe im using the wrong layout for this problem?

JFrame f = new JFrame("This is a test");

f.setSize(700, 600);

Container content = f.getContentPane();

//content.setBackground(Color.white);

CommentsMainPnl cp = new CommentsMainPnl ();

cp.getPnlAllComments().setLayout( new GridLayout(100,1));

cp.getPnlAllComments() .setPreferredSize( new Dimension(700,20));

for (int i = 0 ; i < 100 ; ++i){

cp.getPnlAllComments() .add( new CommentLnPanel () );

}

cp.getJspComments() .setViewportView(cp.getPnlAllComments() );

content.add( cp );

why does it sqeezes all the Jpanels together instead of creating a vertical scroll bar?
