    class FD  
    {  
        private JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel(); 
     
     
        private JRadioButton[] verticalRadioBtns = new JRadioButton[40];  
        private JRadioButton[] horizontalRadioBtns = new JRadioButton[6];  
        private ButtonGroup btngrpVertical = new ButtonGroup();  
        private ButtonGroup btngrpHorizontal = new ButtonGroup();  
     
        public FD()  
        {  
            JPanel panelVertical = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0, 1, 5, 5));  
            for (int i = 0; i < verticalRadioBtns.length; i++)  
            {  
                verticalRadioBtns[i] = new JRadioButton("radioArrayVertical Button " + i);  
                btngrpVertical.add(verticalRadioBtns[i]);  
                panelVertical.add(verticalRadioBtns[i]);  
            }  
     
            JPanel panelHorizontal = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, 0, 5, 5));  
            for (int i = 0; i < horizontalRadioBtns.length; i++)  
            {  
                horizontalRadioBtns[i] = new JRadioButton("radioArray2 Button " + i);

    Where do you add the JScrollPane object to any container?

    The first statement creates a JScrollPane object.
    The second statement adds panelVertical to the mainPanel container?

    Where do you add scroll to anything?

    Apparently i understood this example all wrong. I will research on it, thank you norm.

    Edit: I read so many articles and i saw that if you want to create an advanced GUI, you have to use hard coding. Up to this time, i have been using netbeans GUI builder, every problem occured because of netbeans standarts. So, now i started over to my project. I want to say that maybe it helps another people.
