Question

I am developing GUI in an application (which is based on Spring framework) using Swing. In one of the screens, we have several JButtons, JLabels, JFormattedtextFields and JRadioButtons in a panel.
The question is:

1). When I press the tab button from the keyboard, the control does not goe to the JRadioButton field (though it goes to other components before and after it). It does not appear on these radio buttons (a serious issue with the application). How to fix this.

2).Also to set the text(label) for each radio buton, i have to do in separate labels:

<label text="Raiding" constraints="21,1" font="Arial-PLAIN-12" />
    <buttongroup>
    <radiobutton id="raidingYesID"  font="Arial-PLAIN-12"
                    opaque="false" constraints="22,1" label="Yes"/>
    <label text="Yes" constraints="23,1" font="Arial-PLAIN-12" />                   
    <radiobutton id="raidingNOID" font="Arial-PLAIN-12"
                   selected="true" opaque="true" constraints="24,1"/>            
    <label text="No" constraints="25,1" font="Arial-PLAIN-12" />   
    </buttongroup>

I tried to do it in java, but the labels did not appear:

raidingYesID.setLabel("Yes");
raidingYesID.setName("Yes");
raidingNOID.setText("No");

none of them made any difference, but i could get the label on console by using:

System.out.println(raidingYesID.getLabel());

do suggest any solutions…

Answer 1

For your second question: use setText() to set the JRadioButton text and use getText() to get it back. The button text can also be set in the constructor.
