For a JLabel with icon, if you setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.LEADING)
, the icon is painted right after text, no matter how wide the label is.
Is this the desired effect?
Addendum: I think a panel is the way to go.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TestJLabelIcon {
public static void main(String args[]) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1));
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(createPanel("abc"));
frame.add(createPanel("defghij"));
frame.add(createPanel("klmn"));
frame.add(createPanel("opq"));
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
private JPanel createPanel(String s) {
JPanel p = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
p.add(new JLabel(s, JLabel.LEFT), BorderLayout.WEST);
Icon icon = UIManager.getIcon("FileChooser.detailsViewIcon");
p.add(new JLabel(icon, JLabel.RIGHT), BorderLayout.EAST);
p.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.blue));
return p;
}
});
}
}
