[izpack-devel] UserInputPanel - replacing MultiLineLabelwithJTextPane?

Sat Nov 18 19:07:23 CET 2006

 From my experience the problem can't be resolved with setFont() at all. 
Once you set the content type to "text/html" the font is managed only by 
the HTML engine and I couldn't find a way to manipulate it's default 
font. This is why I only enable HTML rendering when the text is 
surrounded in <html> tags. If your string doesn't have <html></html>, it 
will render like the MultiLineLabel, except the text will be selectable.

 From the screenshot - number 1 is declared as follows:
      <field type="staticText" align="left"
         txt="<html>This section allows you to control whether the JMX 
interfaces are secured. See <a 
href='http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SecureJBoss'>http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SecureJBoss</a> 
for additional security configuration.</html>"
         id="jmxSecurityText"/>

number 2 is declared as:
      <field type="text" variable="jmxConsoleDomain">
         <description align="left" txt="The JAAS security domain name 
for the jmx access points"
            id="jmxConsoleDomain.text"/>
         <spec txt="Enter security-domain:" id="text.label" size="32" 
set="jmx-console"/>
      </field>

(Notice that 1 has the <html> tags and thus used the HTML default font, 
while 2 has the label's default font.)

Attached also is the patch.

The links do not launch the pages for now. This is left as a TODO.
