synchronize scrolling of N number of jtables in java swing

I have a requirement of having N number of tables arranged in a grid pane side by side provided height of the scrollpanes of all the jtables remains same. Now i want to synchronize scroll of all the jtables means if i scroll the first jtable then rest of the jtables should scroll automatically by the same amount.

Anyone has any idea about this ?

Solution

  • Try sharing the model of the scrollbar. Something like:

    JScrollPane scrollPane1 = new JScrollPane(...);
JScrollPane scrollPane2 = new JScrollPane(...);
BoundedRangeModel model scrollPane1.getVerticalScrollBar().getModel();
scrollPane2.getVerticalScrollBar().setModel( model );
