Fixing Base JFrame width

[bruce]

Can I set the width of the base JFrame to be a constant? When I scroll
I want the vertical size to expand and contract but I want the
horizontal to be a constant.

Thanks..

Can you be more specific?  What scrolling of a JFrame are you doing?  Do
you actually mean a JScrollPane?  JScrollPane offers quite a lot of
control over not just the display of the scrollbars, but also of the
layout of the children it contains.

This section in particular might be applicable to your question:http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/scrollp...

I'm sure what you want to do can be done.  But with such a vague
question, it's hard to understand exactly what it is you want to do.

I want to FIX the width of my window, let's say 500 pixels in width. I
want to be able to change the window height, depending upon height. I
can see what you mean by missing clarification. I want to be expand
and contract my window in the vertical direction but dragging on the
window border but I want the horizontal window window to be a constant
so that I can't expand or contract the width.

Thanks for the URL suggestions. I checked them out they don't seem to
have any hints on what I'm trying to do.

Hope this is more helpful.. Thanks for the response..

Does your question actually have anything to do with scrolling at all?
You asked about scrolling in your initial question, but your reply
doesn't mention it.

If you are not asking about scrolling, but only about the main window
size, then AFAIK you have to add a listener to the window to track the
size changes, and reset the size (the width, in this case) to your
maximum if anything tries to set it larger (such as the user dragging it)..

The JFrame class, like other Swing components, allows you to set the
maximum size.  But the last time I was trying to do this, the maximum
wasn't enforced (it's used during layout, not general UI changes).

Yes, your response is what I was looking for. I tried that Maxsize and
nothing happened

Also, what is AFAIK?

Thanks for the response...

The distinction between acronyms and initialisms is not enforced by some of these.

You're expected to be familiar with others like "FUBAR" already.

This reminds me of a little conversation heard in an English class:

"What does this BS on my paper mean?"
"Be specific"
"Oh, okay."
"It also means bullshit."

The Moon is a _Harsh_ Mistress. I have got the book in my library, right
before my eyes.

Who are you going to believe: me, or your lying eyes?

(Actually, I mixed up the actual title with the parody version _The Moon is
a Hard Mattress_.)
