3 dots java title border

Question

does anyone know how to remove those 3 dots from java components? my problem : a java widget with a title border which, after resize, keeps adding those 3 dots.

I would want for it to display the truncated title which fits that given area. I managed to set its justification to the left but those 3 dots keep reappereaing...

or, at least, where, in java library, are those 3 points drawn? I searched through java libraries and couldn't fin it.

This happens using java 1.7

Answer 1

You'd normally do that in the UI classes. Here's a similar question: Java JLabel/JButton: on some systems I get "..." (an ellipsis) and on some systems I don't. how can I force to disable the ellipsis at all?

Answer 2

It is not Java or Swing who display the three dots (the "ellipsis"), it is the underlying OS (Windows, Linux ...).

The Java just sets the native window title property.
