Java Program to set Horizontal Alignment of content in a JTextField


The content in the JTextFile is by default left aligned, but you can change it using the setHorizontalAlignment() method. Let’s say the following is our JTextField −

JTextField emailId = new JTextField(20);

Now, we will set the horizontal alignment and set the alignment to the right for the JTextPane −

emailId.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.RIGHT);

The following is an example to set horizontal alignment of content in a JTextField −

package my;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingConstants;
public class SwingDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");
      JLabel label;
      frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
      label = new JLabel("Email-Id : ", SwingConstants.LEFT);
      JTextField emailId = new JTextField(20);
      emailId.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.RIGHT);
      frame.add(label);
      frame.add(emailId);
      frame.setSize(550,250);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }
}
