I am using swing. I want to reduce the size of the font in text areas and
text fields to fit more in. Is there an easy to do this??

i'm trying to right justify text within a JTextField component.
what am i doing wrong...can someone point me in the right direction?
import javax.swing.SwingConstants.*;
displayText = new JTextField("0.",20); // this compiles but is left

You know, the kind of dialog with the "<< back", "next >>", "finish",
and "cancel" buttons. Fill in the fields, press "next" and see the
next set of input fields, checkboxes, etc. All in the same JDialog?
I don't want to write several JDialog boxes. I just want one JDialog

by pressing a button in my gui I want to start a thread which is doing
some time consuming stuff. Unfortunatelly the gui does not refresh or
repaint or revalidate itself until the thread is finished. I start the
thread by calling the start-method of an inner class wich inherts ...

When I change focus from panel 1 to panel 2 (within a JFrame), it seems that
the mnemonics stick with the panel 1's keyboard definitions. Only if you
press Esc then the appropriate mnemonic works. Has anybody seen this, and if
so, how can I correct this?

   when I drag a JDialog around on my JPanel, it leaves a track mark I
don't know how to get rid of. Various calls to validate() and repaint()
offer no resolution. A picture speaks louder than words:

Could anyone tell me how to center a JFileChooser dialog on screen?
Thanks!

I have a dialog frame with a list and a text field. When the list has
focus and an alpha key or backspace is entered I want to write the key
to the text field and search for the text field text in the list. It
works some of the time but not evertime.

Now that I've written my application, I'm drafting the user manual.  Are
there any tricks in Swing to make taking the screen snapshots easier?
Thanks

MyDefaultTableModel.addrow(new Object[]{"a","b","c"})   add new row .
instead of  "a", "b", "c" for value of each column,  i see "a", "a", "a"
What is wrong??

When a JEditorPane displays font sizes 1 to 7 it seems to get the
sizes of the fonts wrong when compared to the sizes browsers use. This
is most noticable when you have font sizes of 7 which most browser
display as 36pt.

 I have a little swing application which is exporting data out of a
database.  There is a JFrame with a TextArea and a TextField which
gets updated as each "event" happens - e.g. 1000 rows exported.
However, despite calling repaint() after appending to the TextArea,

I need a second (mouse-) pointer in my swing-based application. I like
to use it as a "ghost  mouse pointer". It'll be controlled by the
application and not by an other input device.
So, do you know a way to do that trick?

I am developing a Swing based GUI application for Win NT/2k.
On NT, the GUI application starts up immediately, but on Windows 2k
the GUI sometimes does not appear at all.
I suspect the culprit to be in the ImageIcon construction part, specifically

I'm developing a simple program which you can use to point at a web site and
download the HTML and images found at that URL.
At the moment, to retrieve images I am inspecting the HTML for <img>
elements and extracting the value of the src attribute. I am then using this
