I want to make my JLabel
cover the whole frame but when i do so it wont cover the text field and ok button. how do i make my JLabel
to cover whole frame content.
P/s I want to make this jlabel
as a background so i can put my icon in jlabel
as background picture.
Here's what I would do. Use a JPanel
for the background and throw in some custom paint code.
Drag a JPanel
to the form and expand that to cover the whole frame, to be the background.
Right click on the JPanel
and select Customize Code from the context menu. You will see the following dialog. You can now edit the code.
Make sure to select custom creation from the drop down and type this
jPanel1 = new JPanel() {
BufferedImage img;
{
try {
img = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/resources/stackoverflow5.png"));
} catch (IOException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
}
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), this);
}
};
You probably will have to resolve imports. Just hit Ctrl + Shift + I
Also you will have to change the path of the image to your path.
Here's my file structure
And here's the result
