The knob on vertical JSlider's on my Windows 7 machine (with native look-and-feel) is really, really tiny in both directions. Not just skinny but short as well.
Can anyone confirm this? Should I report it? If so, where? Thanks!
Here is the code for the sample program (in the screen shot):
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JSlider;
import javax.swing.SwingConstants;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
public class SliderTest
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
// Set the look and feel to that of the system
try
{ UIManager.setLookAndFeel( UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() ); }
catch ( Exception e )
{ System.err.println( e ); }
// Launch the GUI from the event dispatch thread
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable()
{
public void run ()
{
JFrame window = new JFrame();
window.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.add( new JSlider(SwingConstants.HORIZONTAL) );
contentPane.add( new JSlider(SwingConstants.VERTICAL) );
window.setContentPane( contentPane );
window.pack();
window.setLocationRelativeTo( null ); // Center window
window.setVisible( true );
}
});
}
}
First off, this happens in Windows Vista too. It seems to be the case, that the slider tries to take as little space as possible. If you want a bigger JSlider
use JSlider.setPaintTicks
. So you have to add the following:
JSlider vertical = new JSlider( SwingConstants.VERTICAL );
vertical.setPaintTicks( true );
contentPane.add( vertical );
That should do the trick.
