Java Forum / General / May 2006buttons too wide
When buttons are created they are often too wide for the text. The problem is worse as text becomes longer. I want the same margin between border and text for all buttons. Using style to adjust this value doesn't help. It seems the button width is computed incorrectly, or by the wrong factor, for the number of characters and font. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks Default margin for button is Button.margin javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,right=14] It is your choice how and when to modify: 1. At startup for all buttons (Using UIManager) 2. At object creation for specific button >From: Vova Reznik <address@mail.com> >Date: Tue, 09 May 2006 15:17:05 GMT [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >1.

It is a java struts application. I will find an HTML group and post the question there, too.

The label computes width correctly. Buttons do not. SignatureNewsGuy.Com 30Gb $9.95 Carry Forward and On Demand Bandwidth Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
