e745. Creating a Multiline Label for a JButton ComponentA button label can show simple HTML tags when surrounded by the tags<HTML> and </HTML> . This example shows how to create
multiple lines by using the <BR> tag. See the
javax.swing.text.html.HTML class documentation for a list of
supported tags.
String label = "<html>"+"This is a"+"<br>"+"swing button"+"</html>"; // Create an action with the label Action action = new AbstractAction(label) { // This method is called when the button is pressed public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) { // Perform action } }; // Create the button JButton button = new JButton(action);By default, the lines are left justified. This label text will center the lines: button.setText("<html><center>"+"This is a"+"<br>"+"swing button"+"</center></html>");This label text italicizes the second line: button.setText("<html>"+"This is a"+"<br><i>"+"swing button"+"</i></html>");
