How to center align the items of a JComboBox in Java?
A JComboBox is a subclass of JComponent class and it is a combination of a text field and a drop-down list from which the user can choose a value. A JComboBox can generate an ActionListener, ChangeListener and an ItemListener when the user actions on a combo box. By default, items in the JCombobox are left-aligned, we can also change to center alignment by using the setHorizontalAlignment(DefaultListCellRenderer.CENTER) method of DefaultListCellRenderer class.
Example
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JComboBoxAlignmentTest extends JFrame {
private JComboBox comboBox;
private DefaultListCellRenderer listRenderer;
public JComboBoxAlignmentTest() {
setTitle("JComboBoxAlignment Test");
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
Object[] items = new Object[] {"item 1", "item 2", "item 3", "item 4", "item 5", "item 6", "item 7"};
comboBox = new JComboBox(items);
add(comboBox);
listRenderer = new DefaultListCellRenderer();
listRenderer.setHorizontalAlignment(DefaultListCellRenderer.CENTER); // center-aligned items
comboBox.setRenderer(listRenderer);
setSize(375, 250);
setResizable(false);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String []args) {
new JComboBoxAlignmentTest();
}
}Output
