Solution
Alternatively, you can use a `JPanel` with a suitable layout, as shown here.
Problem
i'm trying to create a JLabel that has text aligned left and icon aligned right, i tried this code: ``` _ip = new JLabel(ip); _ip.setFont(boldFont); _ip.setBounds(5, 0, 100, 50); _ip.setIcon(images.ipBan); _ip.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black, 1)); _ip.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.LEFT); add(_ip); ``` And this is what i get: The red image shows the actual image alignment, the gray one shows where i want my image to be. If i add ``` _ip.setAlignmentX(JLabel.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT); ``` Nothing happens, and if i add ``` _ip.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.RIGHT); ``` Icon is aligned right, but also text is aligned right, and i want it to align left Is there a way to do it?
