Re: multi-lined labels?
Erk. A better solution (IMO) is to extend JTextArea, and give it the look and feel of a JLabel. The HTML solution seems kinda hacky to me - different OS's give different font sizes, etc. I just don't like it that the line break is hardcoded, and prefer Java to decide for me. The HTML solution also depends on the window staying the same width, etc. -Original Message- From: Harkishin Nachnani [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: alex [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, July 05, 2001 08:05 Subject: RE: multi-lined labels?

JTabbedPane: tab paint problem
Hello, im trying to use a JTabbedPane containing several JPanels. When i click on the tabs ( or move another window over the Pane ) the JTabbedPane doenst display right. The area around the tabs isnt painted correctly. It seems as if some elements of the JPanels ( Button, Table ... ) are displayed in the tab area. Anyone experienced a similar problem ? Im using Visual Age for Java ( 3.5.3 ), but i also tried to export the java files and compiled them with the SUN SDK 1.3.1 Thanks in advance, Matthias Kümpel ___ Swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/swing

RE: multi-lined labels?
You can use this:
public static final JComponent createMultiLineLabel(String text) {
// Count the number of newline characters in the text
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(text, \n);
int lines = st.countTokens();
JTextArea ta = new JTextArea(text, lines, 0);
ta.setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
ta.setOpaque(false);
ta.setEnabled(false);
ta.setFont(UIManager.getFont(Label.font));
ta.setDisabledTextColor(UIManager.getColor(Label.foreground));
ta.setMaximumSize(ta.getPreferredSize()); // in case parent's layout is a
BoxLayout
return ta;
}
Then all you need to do is:
getContentPane().add(createMultiLineLabel(Hello\nWorld));

Re: multi-lined labels?
In the updateUI method of your JTextArea subclass: LookAndFeel.installBorder (this, Label.border); LookAndFeel.installColorsAndFont (this, Label.background, Label.foreground, Label.font); The LookAndFeel class is in the javax.swing package. -Original Message- From: Harkishin Nachnani [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: alex [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, July 05, 2001 08:05 Subject: RE: multi-lined labels?
