I have a JPanel that has 2+ JLables on it, I would like to be able to grab a label then move it to a different location on the JPanel. How can I do that? The only things I can find on this are moving a label from component "A" to component "B", nothing about moving it around on a Panel.
Here is what I wanted:
public class LayerItem extends JLabel{
protected int lblYPt = 0;
public LayerItem(JPanel layers){
this.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
@Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt){
lblMousePressed(evt);
}
});
this.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseAdapter(){
@Override
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent evt){
lblMouseDragged(evt);
}
});
}
public void lblMousePressed(MouseEvent evt){
lblYPt = evt.getY();
}
public void lblMouseDragged(MouseEvent evt){
Component parent = evt.getComponent().getParent();
Point mouse = parent.getMousePosition();
try{
if(mouse.y - lblYPt >= 30){
this.setBounds(0, mouse.y - lblYPt, 198, 50);
}
}catch(Exception e){
}
}
}
