Swing: Default-Field Height to small? [message #1053345]

It looks like the default text field height is too small. See the picture. The letters with decender height (j,g,..) have not enough space.

index.php/fa/14636/0/

It there a way to change the default height setting?

You use the default Nimbus Swing look and feel?

I remember there is a property or a configuration you can set somewhere... I will try to find it.

Hi,

You can control the height of the fields in a scout form by overriding a method in your swing environment:

<your app>.ui.swing.SwingEnvironment:

public class SwingEnvironment extends org.eclipse.scout.rt.ui.swing.DefaultSwingEnvironment {

  @Override
  public int getFormRowHeight() {
    return 40;
  }
}

For other properties (font...) you can take control of the LookAndFeel properties (have a look at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicLookAndFeel in the Swing code).

Thanks.

Is it now possible to have a vertical centered label (aligned to the center of text field)?

Hi,

I did not forget you, but it seems to be complicated (I do not know Swing well).

So far, I had a look at:

org.eclipse.scout.rt.ui.swing.AbstractSwingEnvironment.createStatusLabel(IFormField)

I did not manage to understand if the JLabel contained in the JPanel labelPanel of the StatusLabelEx has the correct size or not. Maybe a call like this is missing (in the Constructor of JStatusLabelEx()):

m_label.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER)

I will try to figure it out.
