There are no member functions in the JTabbedPane class to retrieve the size of a tab from a JTabbedPane. There are only member functions to return the # of tabs and the # of rows or columns the tabs are using. Is there a trick to get the size of each tab in the JTabbedPane? For example, suppose there are 2 tabs in the JTabbedPane. The first tab contains the text "Tab" and the second tab contains the text "This is a Big Tab". Obviously the sizes of the tabs are going to be different, but currently there is no way to obtain their sizes based upon the member functions of the JTabbedPane class. Is there a workaround to this?
From my point of view you can only calculate it, from the size of the title string plus a constant number, for the margins. The size of the string can be calculated in pixels using the FontMetrics class, and of course it is dependent on the string and on the font that is used. Ana
