How to display labels on a JSlider

[Pavan Panduga]

Ranchers,

I have a JSlider component. I'd like to display labels "Slower" at one end and "Faster" at the other end. How can I achieve this?

this is what I currently have,

JSlider slider = new JSlider(1000,5000,2000);
slider.setPaintTicks(true);
slider.setMajorTickSpacing(1000);
slider.setSnapToTicks(true);
slider.setPaintLabels(true);
  

The numbers are milliseconds and represent delay in displaying the next component.

Any inputs/pointers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Pavan

You can find the answer from Java Tutorial from Sun web site.

The following code creates the slider and customizes its labels:
---------------------------------------
//Create the slider
JSlider framesPerSecond = new JSlider(JSlider.VERTICAL,
FPS_MIN, FPS_MAX, FPS_INIT);
framesPerSecond.addChangeListener(this);
framesPerSecond.setMajorTickSpacing(10);
framesPerSecond.setPaintTicks(true);

//Create the label table
Hashtable labelTable = new Hashtable();
labelTable.put( new Integer( 0 ), new JLabel("Stop") );
labelTable.put( new Integer( FPS_MAX/10 ), new JLabel("Slow") );
labelTable.put( new Integer( FPS_MAX ), new JLabel("Fast") );
framesPerSecond.setLabelTable( labelTable );

framesPerSecond.setPaintLabels(true);

That works beautifully.

Thank you so much.
