[SOLVED] How to set insets for JComboBox.......?

[prabhurangan]

Hi Members,
I have to set insets for JCombobox, like we set for textbox and other components. But for JCombobox there is no option of setInsets(); function.
Please help me in this.
But we tried by setting border for JCombobox, however we face some look and feel issues, regards to Windows and Linux.

Looking forward for your reply.

Regards,
Prabhu.

Hello Prabhu,
You will have to override the default ListCellRenderer with your own (or extend the current one) and create an EmptyBorder with the insets you would like..

JComboBox box = new JComboBox(data);
((BasicComboBoxRenderer)box.getRenderer()).setBord er(new EmptyBorder(0,3,0,3));
