I have a JLabel with text in it, and I want to append another piece of text to it, but the latter will be of a different color than the former (e.g. red). I've tried:
statusLabel.setText(statusLabel.getText() +
" <html><span style\"color: red\">" + message + "</span></html>");
But it doesn't work. It just shows the HTML tags but does not render them. Any suggestions? Is it possible to change the color of some of the text in a JLabel?
Try this:
setText("<html>Some text <font color='red'>some text in red</font></html>");
Or for you case you can build the string like this:
statusLabel.setText(String.format("<html>%s<font color='red'>%s</font></html>",
statusLabel.getText(), message));
