How can I display a newline in JLabel?
For example, if I wanted:
Hello World!
blahblahblah
This is what I have right now:
JLabel l = new JLabel("Hello World!\nblahblahblah", SwingConstants.CENTER);
This is what is displayed:
Hello World!blahblahblah
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I'm just learning some Swing basics...
Surround the string with <html></html> and break the lines with <br/>.
JLabel l = new JLabel("<html>Hello World!<br/>blahblahblah</html>", SwingConstants.CENTER);
You can use the MultilineLabel component in the Jide Open Source Components.
You can do
JLabel l = new JLabel("<html><p>Hello World! blah blah blah</p></html>", SwingConstants.CENTER);
and it will automatically wrap it where appropriate.
JLabel is actually capable of displaying some rudimentary HTML, which is why it is not responding to your use of the newline character (unlike, say, System.out).
If you put in the corresponding HTML and used <BR>, you would get your newlines.
