    Hi,

    is there a way to force a JScrollPane to display a vertical scrollbar only
    if the amount of components cannot be displayed within the visible area?

    Background: I want to create a kind of thumb view where an unknown number of
    thumbnails will be inserted. As long as there's space for another item it
    will be displayed within the same line; if not it will be wrapped to the
    next line. If the number of lines exceeds the available vertical space a
    vertical scrollbar will be shown.
    If the window is resized the thumbs are supposed to be wrapped according to
    the current width.

    I tried the following without succes:
    - setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy() to never
    - use FlowLayout Manager
    - use GridLayout

    I found lots of articles an Google - but all without a real solution.

    Please help! :-(

    cu

    Rene
