JLabel - setSize

[thesti]

hi,

i have a JLabel inside a JPanel of which layout manager is BoxLayout. i will display an image with the JLabel at runtime,

when the application first start, it will appear as an empty box with border. i've set the border for the JLabel, but then it appears as a small rectangle, i've tried to use the setSize and the setMinimumSize but still it appears so small. how to make it be displayed with a fixed size even if it's empty (contains no text).


thank you very much.

Hi,

Does it have to be a JLabel? Try an ImageIcon, my experiece with images and JLabels is not that pleasant.

An AWT container can only contain Components; an ImageIcon isn't a Component.
You do have to use a Component that is able to contain some form of a picture.
A JLabel is a good option.

What happens when you try that? I hope you have the specs for JLabel and ImageIcon open with you for reference as you try these things.
