Below is the answer specific to my original question, but if you're trying to achieve a similar structure in general, it'd probably be more practical follow camickr's method below. To do it the way I originally wanted, you have to override JPanel and implement Scrollable for the outer container. (credit to user Kylar - JTextArea on JPanel inside JScrollPane does not resize properly)
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class MyEditor extends JTextPane {
JFrame window;
JScrollPane editScroll;
NumberLines numPane;
HoldMe please;
public static void main(String args[]) {
new MyEditor();
}
MyEditor() {
setOpaque(false);
setEditorKit(new TextWrapKit());
numPane = new NumberLines();
numPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(50,100));
please = new HoldMe();
please.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
please.add(this,BorderLayout.CENTER);
please.add(numPane,BorderLayout.WEST);
editScroll = new JScrollPane(please);
editScroll.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,500));
editScroll.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
editScroll.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
window = new JFrame();
window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
window.getContentPane().add(editScroll);
window.pack();
window.setVisible(true);
}
private class HoldMe extends JPanel implements Scrollable{
public Dimension getPreferredScrollableViewportSize() {
return super.getPreferredSize(); //tell the JScrollPane that we want to be our 'preferredSize' - but later, we'll say that vertically, it should scroll.
}
public int getScrollableUnitIncrement(Rectangle visibleRect, int orientation, int direction) {
return 16;//set to 16 because that's what you had in your code.
}
public int getScrollableBlockIncrement(Rectangle visibleRect, int orientation, int direction) {
return 16;//set to 16 because that's what you had set in your code.
}
public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportWidth() {
return true;//track the width, and re-size as needed.
}
public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportHeight() {
return false; //we don't want to track the height, because we want to scroll vertically.
}
}
private class NumberLines extends JPanel {
NumberLines() {
setBackground(new Color(120,120,120));
setOpaque(false);
repaint();
}
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
g.fillRect(0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight());
}
}
private class TextWrapKit extends StyledEditorKit {
ViewFactory defaultFactory=new TextWrapFactory();
public ViewFactory getViewFactory() {
return defaultFactory;
}
}
private class TextWrapFactory implements ViewFactory {
public View create(Element elem) {
String kind = elem.getName();
if (kind != null) {
if (kind.equals(AbstractDocument.ContentElementName)) {
return new TextWrapView(elem);
} else if (kind.equals(AbstractDocument.ParagraphElementName)) {
return new ParagraphView(elem);
} else if (kind.equals(AbstractDocument.SectionElementName)) {
return new BoxView(elem, View.Y_AXIS);
} else if (kind.equals(StyleConstants.ComponentElementName)) {
return new ComponentView(elem);
} else if (kind.equals(StyleConstants.IconElementName)) {
return new IconView(elem);
}
}
// default to text display
return new LabelView(elem);
}
}
private class TextWrapView extends LabelView {
public TextWrapView(Element elem) {
super(elem);
}
public float getMinimumSpan(int axis) {
switch (axis) {
case View.X_AXIS:
return 0;
case View.Y_AXIS:
return super.getMinimumSpan(axis);
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid axis: " + axis);
}
}
}
}
EDIT: code replaced with SCCE, sorry for the trouble
Okay, so it's structured like this...
• Top class - extends JTextPane
• Place this JTextPane into a JPanel set to BorderLayout CENTER
• Place another JPanel into the same JPanel set to WEST
• Place the JPanel holding the two into a JScrollPane
• Ready for deployment (nope)
Basically, I can't figure out a way to do this without losing out on something critical. I can get them all together, but I'll lose scrolling. Or I'll get scrolling back, but then lose text wrapping. One time I got wrapping, and technically it scrolled but not as it should have, in otherwords, the scrollpane didn't detect the size of the text. I need the nested JPanel (1st one) to scroll with the JTextPane
The problem area is in the constructor below, sorry it's such a mess but I'm losing it over here trying different things... Probably isn't helping. I'd be so grateful if somebody could help me figure this out.
Thank you for reading.
