JFrame: How to display text without JTextArea/JTextField

Question

I want to display text in between these boxes, so that each row looks something like:

{Image of a d20} {Input1} d20 + {Input2} {Roll button}.

This is an odd question, but this screenshot should make things clearer.

Answer 1

The Graphics object for your JPanel actually can draw text on it's own by invoking the drawString command. I'll post an example, but I think it will be most helpful to read the full example that explains it here or here (I personally like the second one, but the first is a Stack Overflow question):

@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
   super.paintComponent(g);
   g.drawString("abc", 25, 25);
}

I almost flagged this as a duplicate, but it is technically a distinct question. I would recommend just a little more searching before posting though.

EDIT:

To more thoroughly explain how this might be helpful, you could have a custom JPanel element that holds your

{Image of a d20} {Input1} d20 + {Input2} {Roll button}.

which draws the text, image, inputs, and buttons local to a JPanel holding all of them. This JPanel will have a paintComponent() method where you can use the above code. Then just include that in your JFrame. It makes your code a little more modular and easy to organize as you're grouping relevant components. I hope you find this helpful.

Happy coding! Leave a comment if you have any questions.

您也可以根据需要使用JLabel并设置它的文本，或者将JTextField定义为像JLabel一样

Answer 3

Use jLabel you can set the text like this:

yourlabel.setText("your text");

Or you can get the text from a jLabel like this:

String str = yourlabel.getText();

The String "str" would be "your text".
