How to Keep Letters in the Frame in Java

The JLabel control sets content on your desktop forms, which are JFrame objects in Java. The label is programmatically created, and you can then set up dynamic content to display in the label. The process is necessary in Java applications, enabling you to provide your users with dynamic content based on their feedback as they work with your application.

Instructions

1. Open the Java editor you use to create your programs. Open the project and source code file for the JFrame in which you want to display the text.

2. Create the label control. The following code sets up the label and creates the text you want to display in the frame:

   JLabel label = new JLabel("Text to display goes here", JLabel.CENTER);

   The CENTER variable centers the text in the label, but you can leave the parameter out to align the text to the left automatically.

3. Set the size and visibility for the label, so it shows on the JFrame. In this example the label is set up with a customized width and height:

   frame.setSize(350, 200); // width=350, height=200
   frame.setVisible(true);
