在JTabbedPane的左侧添加图标

Question

How to add an icon on the left side of JTabbedPane while using JPanel as the component of JTabbedPane ?

As I know how to add icon on the left side of the JTabbedPane while using JLabel but don't know what to do in case of JPanel

Answer 1

I assume you mean the JTabbedPane 's tab component. If you are using a JPanel , you will need to add a JLabel to the panel and apply an appropriate layout manager to position the elements the way you want them

There is an example in the How to Use Tabbed Panes under the section Tabs With Custom Components , it does add a JButton to the right hand side, but I'm sure you can figure out how to switch to a JLabel on the left side...
