Setting Multi-Line label on the Button
This section shows you how to set the multi line label
on the button in Java Swing Applications.
This program uses html class from javax.swing.text.html*; package
and then breaks the text label of the button into two lines. If you run the
program it will look like following image:
HTML:
This is the class from the javax.swing.text.html.*;
package of Java. This class provides the facility to use the html tags in
java application for texts. There are <html></html> tag and <br>
tag have been used in this program. Tags of html are used with the string which
is the label of the button.
Here is the code of the program:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.html.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class MultilineLabelButton{
public static void main(String[] args){
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Multiline Label for Button");
String lbl = "<html>" + "This label" + "<br>" + "is in two lines" + "</html>";
Panel panel = new Panel();
JButton button = new JButton(lbl);
panel.add(button);
// frame.add(button);
frame.add(panel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
}
