Changing tabs title, icon, mnemonic, tooltip, or component on a particular tab with one of the setXXXAt() methods
<![CDATA[
The displayed mnemonic index refers to which time a particular character in the title should be highlighted.
In addition, you can change the background or foreground of a specific tab, enable or disable a specific tab, or have a different disabled icon with additional setXXXAt() methods:
public void setTitleAt(int index, String title)
public void setIconAt(int index, Icon icon)
public void setMnemonicAt(int index, int mnemonic)
public void setDisplayedMnemonicIndexAt(int index, int mnemonicIndex)
public void setToolTipTextAt(int index, String text)
public void setComponentAt(int index, Component component)
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTabbedPane;
public class TabSample {
static void add(JTabbedPane tabbedPane, String label, int mnemonic) {
int count = tabbedPane.getTabCount();
JButton button = new JButton(label);
tabbedPane.addTab(label, new ImageIcon("yourFile.gif"), button, label);
tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(count, mnemonic);
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Tabbed Pane Sample");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
String titles[] = { "General", "Security", "Content", "Connection", "Programs", "Advanced" };
int mnemonic[] = { KeyEvent.VK_G, KeyEvent.VK_S, KeyEvent.VK_C, KeyEvent.VK_O, KeyEvent.VK_P,
KeyEvent.VK_A };
for (int i = 0, n = titles.length; i < n; i++) {
add(tabbedPane, titles[i], mnemonic[i]);
}
frame.add(tabbedPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(400, 150);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
