How would I go upon adding JLabel hovering? Like when you move your mouse over top a JLabel a and new image will overlap it. I know how to make it work with buttons, but the same technique will not work for JLabel s. Will anyone guide me towards adding JLabel hovering? Please and thanks. package src; import java.awt.Dimension; import javax.swing.ImageIcon; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; /* * @Author - 0x29A * * */ public class Jframe { public static void main(final String args[]) { /* * @Images */ final ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("Data/button.png"); final JLabel

I want to see the text of JLabel when I hover over the label. The text explains what the label does in detail. You would need to set the text of the tooltip by calling: setToolTipText() More about tooltips in the tutorial: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/tooltip.html If you want to retrieve the Tooltip then you should use something like this: JLabel label; ...//initialize label, etc String text = label.getToolTipText(); In case you are asking how to set the Tooltip then you should do the opposite: JLabel label; ...//initialize label, etc label.setToolTipText("this

I have a JTabbedPane with a custom tab component. That component contains a JLabel (To display the tab title) and a JButton (A close button). When I change the text in the JLabel the JLabel stops receiving mouse events and I can no longer select that tab when I click directly on the label instead if I click around the label then I can select the tab. Any ideas? A snippet of the code: class ShellPanelTabComponent extends JPanel implements ActionListener{ private ShellPanel panel; private JLabel label; public ShellPanelTabComponent(final ShellPanel panel){ super(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT, 0

I've gone through every post I could find on this site and the Java tutorials and I still can't figure out why my code isn't working. Even when I copy/paste other peoples' code, it still doesn't work. I've made a dummy program just to test this out and the code looks like so: import java.awt.EventQueue; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.ImageIcon; public class gui extends JFrame { private JPanel contentPane; /** * Launch the application. */ public static void main(String[] args) {

My current problem is that I have a JFrame with a 2x2 GridLayout. And inside one of the squares, I have a JPanel that is to display a grid. I am having a field day with the java swing library... take a look Image Java is automatically expanding each JLabel to fit the screen. I want it to just be those blue squares (water) and the black border and not that gray space. Is there a way I can just set the size of that JPanel permanently so that I don't have to go through changing the size of the JFrame a million times before I get the exact dimension so that the gray space disappears? I also would

Font font = Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 35); JLabel label = new JLabel("57"); JPanel panel = new JPanel(); panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS)); panel.add(label); This creates a JLabel with an extra space above and below it. I tried setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.TOP) but it not working. Again, I don't want to align JLabel to top but the text inside JLabel should be aligned to top. here is how my label looks like The text in your label is actually aligned to the top already. Even if you set all three of: label.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.TOP); label

So, I have been trying to figure this out for a little bit and cannot figure out how to do it. I want one of my buttons in another class to change the text of a JLabel in the GUI class. Here is the code from GUI class:`import java.awt.Container; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JTextField; public class GUI extends JFrame{ Container pane = getContentPane(); JButton guess = new JButton("Guess"); JButton gen = new JButton("Generate number"); JTextField userInput = new JTextField(); JLabel Numbers = new JLabel("Press generate to

Small error I can't manage to do. So right now my program GUI looks like this: Now there is a TextField under the 'Mark' column were the user can input their data. I also want the same for the weight section were I want to insert a TextField right under 'Weight' column. However when I try and put in a TextField, both the the Textfields turn like this when the window is small: and this when the window is enlarged: How can I make it so that there is a textfield under Mark AND Weight? Code: public class Gradeanalysis implements ActionListener { public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e){
