Create JTextField with border
In this tutorial we are going to see how to create a JTextField
with border. This is a very simple way to make your component a little bit more interesting.
In short, in order to create a new JTextField
with border, one should follow these steps:
- Create a class that extends
JFrame
. - Create a new
JTextField
. - Use
BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLUE, 5)
to create a newBorder
. - Use
setBorder
method to set the Border to the text field. - Use
add
to add the field to the frame.
Let’s see the code:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.desktop; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import javax.swing.BorderFactory; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JTextField; import javax.swing.border.Border; public class CreateJTextFieldWithBorder extends JFrame { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; public CreateJTextFieldWithBorder() { // set flow layout for the frame this.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout()); // create JTextField JTextField field = new JTextField(20); field.setText("Java Code Geeks"); // create a line border with the specified color and width Border border = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLUE, 5); // set the border of this component field.setBorder(border); // add textfield to frame add(field); } private static void createAndShowGUI() { //Create and set up the window. JFrame frame = new CreateJTextFieldWithBorder(); //Display the window. frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); } public static void main(String[] args) { //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread: //creating and showing this application's GUI. javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { createAndShowGUI(); } }); } }
This was an example on how to create JTextField with border.
