copied!<p>The basic problem is that a <code>TitledBorder</code> will not expand a component to the point where it will be big enough to display the entire text. Instead it will just truncate the text.</p> <p>The solution is to ensure the components are big enough for the text to display. I have shown this here by expanding the size of the text field, and by adding a 'full length' label in placed of the 'shortened' title.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NQCia.png" alt="Test Size Of Gui"></p> <pre><code>import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.border.*; class TestSizeOfGui { public static void main(String[] args) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { JTextField account = new JTextField(10); JPanel accountPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout()); accountPanel.add(account); accountPanel.setBorder(new TitledBorder("Account")); String[] firstDigitList = { "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9"}; JLabel firstDigitListLabel = new JLabel("Leading Digit Change"); JPanel firstDigitListPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout(4,2)); firstDigitListPanel.add(firstDigitListLabel, BorderLayout.WEST); JComboBox firstDigitCombo = new JComboBox(firstDigitList); firstDigitListPanel.add(firstDigitCombo); firstDigitCombo.setSelectedIndex(0); firstDigitListPanel.setBorder(new TitledBorder("LDC")); JPanel panel = new JPanel(); panel.add(accountPanel); panel.add(firstDigitListPanel); int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog( null, panel, "Please Enter Values", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION); } }); } } </code></pre>
