JLabel - setSize

144 New Member
hi,

i have a JLabel inside a JPanel of which layout manager is BoxLayout. i will display an image with the JLabel at runtime,

when the application first start, it will appear as an empty box with border. i've set the border for the JLabel, but then it appears as a small rectangle, i've tried to use the setSize and the setMinimumSize but still it appears so small. how to make it be displayed with a fixed size even if it's empty (contains no text).


thank you very much.

Hi,

Does it have to be a JLabel? Try an ImageIcon, my experiece with images and JLabels is not that pleasant.

An AWT container can only contain Components; an ImageIcon isn't a Component.
You do have to use a Component that is able to contain some form of a picture.
A JLabel is a good option.

kind regards,

What happens when you try that? I hope you have the specs for JLabel and ImageIcon open with you for reference as you try these things.

Hi, I am getting this weird behavior. I have couple of gif and jpg files that I would like to display in JLabel. It displays one jpg image but it does not display other gifs and jpgs. Any idea why it would do so. Sample code is : JPanel logoPanel = new JPanel(); logoPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(logoPanel, BoxLayout.X_AXIS)); ImageIcon logo = new ImageIcon(_imageFileName);

I have the following code to put a label on a tabbed panel. It does not set the background though. If I put in a "slabel.getBackground()" it returns the color I chose for the set. It is like the background is transparent, the color of the tabbed panel is there. The text is ok. (checkboxes and radiobuttons work ok.) It doesn't matter if the setBounds() is before or after the setBackground() Any advice appreciated.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
