Question

I have a JButton created using the following code.

JButton button = new JButton ( "Document",appletRec.getIcon()) ;
button.addActionListener ( this ) ;                    
button.setOpaque                 ( true ) ; //changed false from true.
button.setFocusPainted           ( true ) ; //changed false from true.
button.actAsLink                 ( true ) ;
button.setHighlightForeground    ( Color.blue ) ;
button.setVerticalTextPosition   ( SwingConstants.BOTTOM ) ;
button.setVerticalAlignment      ( SwingConstants.TOP ) ;
button.setHorizontalTextPosition ( SwingConstants.CENTER ) ;

But my button is appearing like this

I want to move the text to the bottom of the button. Any suggestion highly appreciated.

Answer 1

button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.BOTTOM) will move everything (text + icon) to the bottom of the button.

If you want spacing between the text and the icon, you can use
button.setIconTextGap(int distance)
