Hi Alexander,
Hi.
I have a JButton with multiple lines of text where I can change the
color of a part of the text by html tag <font> . I now wanted to
change the font color of a disabled button with <font> tag too, but
this only works with Java 6 but NOT with Java 7. See below for an
example code that simply creates a JFrame and places 2 Buttons inside,
one is enabled the other is disabled. Changing the text color of the
disabled button with <font> is only possible with Java 6. See
http://imgur.com/E48le,XRppa#0 for a screenshot of Java 6 and
http://imgur.com/E48le,XRppa#1 for Java 7. It seems like the UIManger
property for color of disabled text is overriding the HTML color
information in Java 7 but not in Java 6.
Is this difference between the two versions wanted and how can I
change the font color of part of the text of a disabled JButton with
Java 7?
P.S. My OS is Windows 7 64 Bit and Java versions are 1.6.0_20 and
1.7.0_07
import javax.swing.*;
public class ButDisColorchange {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f=new JFrame();
f.setSize(300,200);
JButton bEnabled= new JButton("<html><font
color=\"green\">This is an</font> <i>ENABLED</i> Button</html>");
JButton bDisabled= new JButton("<html><font color=\"red\">This
is an</font> <i>DISABLED</i> Button</html>");
bDisabled.setEnabled(false);
JPanel pane= new JPanel();
pane.add(bEnabled);
pane.add(bDisabled);
f.add(pane);
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
Now HTML on disabled components looks like disabled... I don't see an
easy solution for you. You can change color for all disabled HTML text by
UIManager.put("textInactiveText", Color.SOME_COLOR)
