Thread: JavaBean property TextPosition

I have a bean with a couple components, one of which is a JLabel. I'm trying to create a property which allows the user to edit the horizontal and vertical text position. I can enter integers in the property, but I would like to present the user with Top, Bottom, Center, Leading... I can probably figure this out if someone points me in the right direction.

Anyone? Should I post this question somewhere else?

Can you clarify your question a bit, perhaps post a short example code? Do you just wish to modify the position of the text within a JLabel?

Yes, I want to modify the position of the text within a JLabel. So for the set and get functions of my bean I want have the option to select leading, center, or trailing in the horizontal text postion proptery. Right now I can only pass ints.

public void setTextHorizontalAlignment(int align)
{
    textHorizontalAlignment = align;
}
 
public int getTextHorizontalAlignment()
{
    return textHorizontalAlignment;
}
