How do I write superscript word for checkbox text in java?

I made few checkboxes using swing in Java. I want to write a superscript text for the checkboxes but I'm not sure how.

The code currently looks like this.

JCheckBox hCheckBox = new JCheckBox("[M + H]+");

I want to have "+" sign inside the JCheckBox parameter superscripted. What's an easy way to do this?

Thank you in advance.

Solution

  • Java buttons support html in their text. You need to format the string a little differently though. Try this:

    JCheckBox hCheckBox = new JCheckBox("<html>[M + H]<sup>+</sup></html>");
