Use the setVgap() method to set the vertical gap between elements in a GridLayout. Let’s say we have a GridLaypout −GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(3, 3);Set the horizontal gap −layout.setVgap(30);The following is an example −Examplepackage my; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Dimension; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.Font; import java.awt.GridLayout; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JTextArea; import javax.swing.WindowConstants; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Sections");       JPanel panel = new JPanel();       panel.setBackground(Color.blue);       GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(3, 3);     ...

Remove a menu from the MenuBar using the remove() method. Set the index for the menu you want to remove from the MenuBar.Let’s say we have the following two menus initially −The following is an example to remove one the above menus. Let’s say we are removing the 2nd menus “Edit” −Examplepackage my; import java.awt.event.KeyEvent; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JMenu; import javax.swing.JMenuBar; import javax.swing.JMenuItem; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(final String args[]) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("MenuBar Demo");       frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);       JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();       JMenu ...

To hide the track on the slider, you need to use the setPaintTrack() method and set it to FALSE −JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 55); slider.setInverted(true); slider.setMinorTickSpacing(10); slider.setMajorTickSpacing(25); slider.setPaintTicks(true); slider.setPaintLabels(true); slider.setPaintTrack(false);The above method setPaintTrack() is by default set to TRUE.The following is an example to hide the track on the slider −Examplepackage my; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Font; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JSlider; import javax.swing.WindowConstants; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame with Slider");       JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 55);   ...

Use the createRaisedBevelBorder() method to create a border with a raised beveled edge. We will set it on the label component −JLabel label; label = new JLabel("This has a border with a raised bevel edge!"); label.setBorder(BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder());The following is an example to create a border with a raised beveled edge −Examplepackage my; import javax.swing.BorderFactory; import java.awt.Font; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");       JLabel label;       label = new JLabel("This has a border with a raised bevel edge!"); ...

Let’s first see how we set text in a components tooltip −JLabel label3 = new JLabel("Password", SwingConstants.CENTER); label3.setToolTipText("Enter Password");To display multiple lines of text in a tooltip, use . Here, we have used the HTML tag for new line and that would create multiple lines of text in the tooltip −label3.setToolTipText("" + "This will create multiple lines for the" + "" + "component! Yay!" + "");The following is an example to display multiple lines of text in a component’s tooltip −Examplepackage my; import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment; import java.awt.GridLayout; import java.awt.Point; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JPasswordField; import javax.swing.JTextField; import javax.swing.SwingConstants; import ...

In this article, we will learn how to set major tick marks in a JSlider component in Java. A JSlider is a Swing component that allows users to select a numeric value from a range. Tick marks help improve user experience by marking specific intervals along the slider. Major tick marks represent larger intervals, and we can control their spacing using the setMajorTickSpacing() method. Problem StatementGiven a slider with a range of values, write a Java program to set major tick marks every 25 units in a JSlider and display the slider in a GUI window.Input A slider with a range ...

To display vertical grid lines in a table, use the setShowVerticalLines() method. Let us first create a table −String[][] rec = {    { "1", "Steve", "AUS" },    { "2", "Virat", "IND" },    { "3", "Kane", "NZ" },    { "4", "David", "AUS" },    { "5", "Ben", "ENG" },    { "6", "Eion", "ENG" }, }; String[] header = { "Rank", "Player", "Country" }; JTable table = new JTable(rec, header);Now, let us display vertical grid lines −table.setShowVerticalLines(true);You can also give a color to these lines −table.setGridColor(Color.blue);The following is an example to display vertical grid lines in JTable ...
