JLabel

[pat270881]

Hello,

I have a JFrame Window and a JLabel on it with a long text. The problem
is that the text of the JLabel does not fit the size of the window -
the value for the width of the window is to less. But I want not to
make the window wider. How can I make it that the text of the JLabel is
automatically divided when the end of the window width is reached and
the remaining text will be placed in the next line?

thx

Probably the easiest thing to do would be to use a JTextArea instead.
See JTextArea.setLineWrap() and JTextArea.setWrapStyleWord() as well.

That will not be easy with a JLabel. You an easily create a JLabel that
spans multiple lines (using HTML tags), but getting it to wrap is
something else.

Consider using one of the multi-line JTextComponent subclasses. You can
change the opacity, colors, font, and other properties to make it look the
same as the the JLabel.
