Using icons with JCheckBox
java, jcheckbox, swing
Solution
The Icon is being used in place of the box. Consider creating a JCheckBox and a JLabel placed immediately next to each other, and have the JLabel hold the ImageIcon.
Problem
I have a swing application in which I want to use a JCheckbox with an icon. I constructed the icon as follows: ``` JCheckBox unsubmit = new JCheckBox("Unsubmit",applet.undo); ``` When I do this, the label and the icon appear in my GUI but the box itself is no where to be found. If I construct the JCheckBox without the icon, the box comes back. I've tried adjusting the buttons's preferred size but it had no effect. Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks, Elliott
