JLabel with different color

shoa · May 8, 2005

Hello

I have a JLabel in my application. What I want is to create a different
color for the text in that label. For example, "My" is red color and "label"
is green color for a label text "My label". Could you please tell me how to
do that.

Thank you
S.Hoa

There is some way to specify the text using html syntax, look
that up. Then "My label"
should do it.

JLabel has embedded capability to render html text. So the following code
will do what you expect.

JLabel label = new JLabel("<html>My label</html>");

You can put all kinds of formatting in a JLabel by wrapping the text in
<html>...</html> and expressing the formatting in HTML.
