I don't think there is an easy way to do this, unfortunately. I think you would have to write your own Checkbox UI. You could probably fake it like this:<br />
<br />
JPanel checkBoxPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2));<br />
<br />
JCheckBox myCheck = new JCheckBox();<br />
<br />
checkBoxPanel.add(new JLabel(&quot;My CheckBoxText&quot;));<br />
checkBoxPanel.add(myCheck)<wbr />;<br />
<br />
Sorry I couldn't be more help<br />

I have a JCheckbox for which I want the label or caption on the left and the checkbox on the right. I have tried using the setAlignmentX, setHorizontalAlignment and setHorizontalTextPosition methods but they don't seem to work. Does anyone have any sample code for this ?

JCheckBox - align text on left

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
