To display tick marks in a JSlider, you need to use the setPaintTicks() method and set it to TRUE −JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 75); slider.setPaintTicks(true);The following is an example to display tick marks in a slider in Java −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, 75);       slider.setMinorTickSpacing(5);       slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);       slider.setPaintTicks(true);   ...

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.

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!"); ...

At first, let us create a horizontal slider −JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 55);Now, we will set it to move right-to-left using setInverted() −slider.setInverted(true);The following is an example to move the horizontal slider right-to-left −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);       slider.setInverted(true);       slider.setMinorTickSpacing(10);       slider.setMajorTickSpacing(25);       slider.setPaintTicks(true);     ...

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 ...

To create a confirmation dialog box in Java, use the Java Swing JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog() method, which allows you to create a dialog box that asks for confirmation from the user. For example, Do you want to restart the system?, “This file contains a virus, Do you want to still download?”, etc. Kt comes with a type JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION for the same confirmation.The following is an example to create a Confirmation Dialog Box in Java −Examplepackage my; import java.awt.Dimension; import javax.swing.ImageIcon; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JOptionPane; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.SwingConstants; import javax.swing.UIManager; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {   ...
