adding JLabel right justified

Use setHorizontalAlignment()

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JLabel.html#setHorizontalAlignment(int)

You can also specify alignment in JLabel constructor

Hi Ted Schnieders,

Do you want it to be right justified in the label itself or do you want it to be right justified in the BorderLayout?

Regard
Dave

You can do it like this :

import java.awt.BorderLayout;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class Sample extends JFrame {

      public Sample() {
            
            super("Sample . . .");
            
            JLabel label1 = new JLabel();
            label1.setText("Right Side");
            
            getContentPane().add(label1, BorderLayout.EAST);
            setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            setSize(400, 300);
            setVisible(true);
      }
      public static void main(String[] args) {
            Sample x = new Sample();
      }
}

There's also a sample here which does lots of alignment and stuff: http://www.java2s.com/ExampleCode/Swing-JFC/Labelalignment.htm
