JTextField with a JScrollBar for Scrolling

Built inside the JTextField is a scrollable area used when the width of the component's contents exceeds its visible horizontal space. A BoundedRangeModel controls this scrolling area. import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import javax.swing.BoundedRangeModel; import javax.swing.BoxLayout; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JScrollBar; import javax.swing.JTextField; public class TextSlider {   public static void main(String args[]) {     JFrame frame = new JFrame("Text Slider");     frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);     final JTextField textField = new JTextField();     JScrollBar scrollBar = new JScrollBar(JScrollBar.HORIZONTAL);     JPanel panel = new JPanel();     panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));     BoundedRangeModel brm = textField.getHorizontalVisibility();     scrollBar.setModel(brm);     panel.add(textField);     panel.add(scrollBar);     final TextSlider ts = new TextSlider();     textField.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {         System.out.println("Text: " + textField.getText());       }     });     frame.add(panel, BorderLayout.NORTH);     frame.setSize(300, 100);     frame.setVisible(true);   } }
