I have made a frame in which i have put two jTextfield boxes where the user can see the path of the loaded file. Problem is that if the path is too long , the textfield expands to accomodate the full path which again leads to display problems. I would like to keep the textfield’s length constant and instead , display the full path of file as a tooltip instead.

How can this be done?

Code for layout manager of jinternal Frame:

   javax.swing.GroupLayout jInternalFrame1Layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(jInternalFrame1.getContentPane());
    jInternalFrame1.getContentPane().setLayout(jInternalFrame1Layout);

    I solved my problem:
    Anybody having the same problem can set the Property Columns using Netbeans. The default is 0, so the textfield cannot accomodate the full text. Use some value like 3 to achieve it.
