Question

Hi I prepared one swing frame in which I placed two text fields. Is there any way to get one side(i.e., right bordered line) of the jtextfield colored? Please suggest. I checked many things, but I couldn’t find.Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I would add a Border to the text field, something along the lines of:

Border oldBorder = jTextField.getBorder();
Border redBorder = BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(0, 0, 0, 5, Color.RED);
Border newBorder = BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(redBorder, oldBorder);
jTextField.setBorder(newBorder);

This approach keeps the old border and wraps it inside your red (partial) border.
