JLabel and JScrollPane

hello,

can i display multiple line of text using a JLabel. Or do i need to paste the JLabel within a JScrollPane?

thanks

You can use this method...

JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("<HTML> My Label text<br>Goes here</HTML>");

Cheers,

You could use an non-editable JTextArea and make it look like a label. JTextArea supports word-wrap

That's a much easier solution to use. In our project we are reading label definitions from a properties file that contains different translations at using a text area is far easier than the HTML label because we can't be sure of the size of thing that we have to fit onto the label.
