#2692 — JLebel as a container

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
Hi All,

I'm trying to add a JLable 'jLable2 to another JLabel 'jLabel1'. But
jLabel2 is not getting displayed.

My code is

import javax.swing.*;

public class LabelTest extends JFrame {

    public LabelTest(){
 
setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JLabel jLabel1 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
        jLabel1.setText("jLabel1");
        JLabel jLabel2 = new JLabel();
        jLabel2.setText(" TEXT ");
        jLabel1.add(jLabel2);
        getContentPane().add(jLabel1, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
        pack();
    }


    public static void main(String args[]) {
	LabelTest lTest = new LabelTest ();
	lTest.setSize(400,300);
	lTest.setVisible(true);
    }

}

Please advice on how i can make jLabel2 visible.
Thanks in advance

Chanchal

Why?

Try this variant that adds both JLabels directly to the JFrame.
If that is not the effect you are after, there are many alternatives,
including adding them both to a JPanel that is itself added to 
one particular area of the BorderLayout of the JFrame.

<sscce>
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.*;

public class LabelTest extends JFrame {

  public LabelTest(){

    setDefaultCloseOperation(
      WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JLabel jLabel1 = new JLabel();
    jLabel1.setText("jLabel1");
    JLabel jLabel2 = new JLabel();
    jLabel2.setText(" TEXT ");
    //jLabel1.add(jLabel2);
    getContentPane().add(
      jLabel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    getContentPane().add(
      jLabel2, BorderLayout.EAST);
    pack();
  }

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    LabelTest lTest = new LabelTest ();
    lTest.setSize(400,300);
    lTest.setVisible(true);
  }
}
</sscce>
