How to set fix size of jlabel?

Question

I am trying to make a java desktop application where I am using multiple JLabel I want to set fix height and width of JLabel. How can I achieve thi

Answer 1

You can set a fixed the size by setting the minimum, preferred and maximum size:

setMinimumSize(width, height);
setPreferredSize(width, height);
setMaximumSize(width, height);

As the Link from MadProgrammer, you need to override these methods, not using them from outside, based on the reasons mentioned in this link.

Answer 2

if this method not work

setMinimumSize(width, height);
setPreferredSize(width, height);
setMaximumSize(width, height);

then use it

setMinimumSize(new Dimension(width, height));
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
setMaximumSize(new Dimension(width, height));

Answer 3

Use JLabel.setPreferredSize(width, height); The jpanel does not have a layout, try Jpanel pane =new JPanel(new FlowLayout（））；

Answer 4

An easy work around (without overriding existing classes) is to;

• Create a JPanel specifically for the component

• Set the size for the JPanel

• Place the component within the JPanel

• Place the JPanel where you would have originally placed the component

e.g.

JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel(); //Assume this is the panel you are placing things into.

JLabel nameLabel = new JLabel("Name:");
JPanel nameLabelPanel = new JPanel();
nameLabelPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 25));
JPanel.add(nameLabel);
mainPanel.add(nameLabelPanel);
