Thread: 1 vertical scroll bar fro 2 jtextareas

There are several ways to do this. You could just set put one of the JTextAreas in the JScrollPane, add a listener to the JScrollPane or the vertical scroll bar, and call scrollRectToVisible() when that listener fires. Or you put a JScrollPane on both of them, then have those JScrollPanes share either models or vertical scroll bars.

Try googling "java fixed JTable column" or "fixedtable", something like that. Let me know if you're still having issues after that.

Heh, okay. Note that you can actually use JTextAreas as the renderer for the cells of a JTable.

my knowledge at java is rather baisc,

Im using netbeans to create the table (GUI builder) and what i have done is create a table(3 cols, 2 rows) and now what i am trying to do is have a button you can press and it will add a blank row allowing data to be put in it, however im getting no where.

Ive read that a simple command like jTable1.addRow(new Object[]{null,null,null}); would do the job, however i think because im using netbeans to create the table im getting problems it does not like the addRow bit saying it cannont find the symbol

I also think this may be casuing the prob two

" jTable1.setModel(new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(
new Object [][] { "

If you want an honest answer, I urge you to ditch the GUI builder immediately.

Without seeing the actual code (in SSCCE form, which means no GUI-builder code) and the actual Exception and stack trace, I can't really comment on what you're doing wrong. But the line you posted is definitely incorrect syntax- at the very least, you need to close the opening parenthesis of the constructor for DefaultTableModel.

lol, right ive gone back to the original idea because its simple and i can kinda understand it at the moment

EDIT: I have given up and left the project I think im going to get someone to make the program for me

That's a shame. You were probably really close to the solution. If you post an SSCCE, I'd love to help you through it.
