Thread: JPanel with ScrollBars

I created a JPanel with ScrollBars by creating a JScrollPane.

My intent is to have the JPanel Scrollable when the number of JLabels are too great to be displayed in the frame size. The problem is that even after the number of JLabels extends beyond the setPreferredSize of the JScrollPane, it doesn't scroll.

I will provide my code at a later time (when I can get internet access on my laptop again). For now, if i could get some shots in the dark as far as what could cause this, that would be great.

setPreferredSize of the JScrollPane,

How is the preferred size of the expanding JPanel handled? I assume that is where you are adding the JLabels.
