How to add JSeparator between two JLabels in GridBagLayout


I want to have a JSeparator between each JLabel in a GridBagLayout. Currently it looks like this:

enter image description here

And now I want to add a JSeparator after each TESTSTEP Label in between the icon and the JLabel. The following constraint are only for the JLabel and the icon. What do I have to add to get a JSeparator all over the complete vertical line?

  GridBagConstraints lastConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
  GridBagConstraints labelConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();

  lastConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
  lastConstraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.EAST;
  lastConstraints.weightx = 0.0;
  lastConstraints.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
  lastConstraints.insets = new Insets(8, 8, 8, 8);

  labelConstraints = (GridBagConstraints) lastConstraints.clone();
  labelConstraints.weightx = 0.0;
  labelConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
  labelConstraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.WEST;
  labelConstraints.gridwidth = 1;

Solution

  • Use:

    Small example:

    import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
    import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
    import java.awt.Insets;
    
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    import javax.swing.JSeparator;
    import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
    import javax.swing.UIManager;
    
    public class TestJSeparator {
    
        public TestJSeparator() {
            JFrame frame = new JFrame(TestJSeparator.class.getSimpleName());
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            JPanel bigPanel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
            GridBagConstraints lastConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
            GridBagConstraints labelConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
            GridBagConstraints separatorConstraint = new GridBagConstraints();
            lastConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
            lastConstraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.EAST;
            lastConstraints.weightx = 0.0;
            lastConstraints.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
            lastConstraints.insets = new Insets(8, 8, 8, 8);
    
            labelConstraints = (GridBagConstraints) lastConstraints.clone();
            labelConstraints.weightx = 0.0;
            labelConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
            labelConstraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.WEST;
            labelConstraints.gridwidth = 1;
    
            separatorConstraint.weightx = 1.0;
            separatorConstraint.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
            separatorConstraint.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
    
            JLabel label1 = new JLabel("1. TESTSTEP 0 TEST 0 DE");
            JLabel result1 = new JLabel(UIManager.getIcon("OptionPane.informationIcon"));
            JLabel label2 = new JLabel("2. TESTSTEP 0 TEST 1 DE");
            JLabel result2 = new JLabel(UIManager.getIcon("OptionPane.errorIcon"));
            bigPanel.add(label1, labelConstraints);
            bigPanel.add(result1, lastConstraints);
            bigPanel.add(new JSeparator(JSeparator.HORIZONTAL), separatorConstraint);
            bigPanel.add(label2, labelConstraints);
            bigPanel.add(result2, lastConstraints);
            bigPanel.add(new JSeparator(JSeparator.HORIZONTAL), separatorConstraint);
            frame.add(bigPanel);
            frame.pack();
            frame.setVisible(true);
        }
    
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    TestJSeparator gui = new TestJSeparator();
                }
            });
        }
    }
