Hi Sanjaya,

Hi all, I want to add a label(D3) on right top corner of a button as below,Can anyone help please?

Inline image 1 There are many ways to do that. For example you can override the JButton#paintComponent method. Or you can use JLayer, see below:

import javax.swing.; import java.awt.;

public class JLayerSample { public static void main(String[] args) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { JFrame frame = new JFrame();

            JButton button = new JButton("Some button");

            JLayer<JButton> layer = new JLayer<>(button);

            JPanel glassPane = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());

            glassPane.add(new JLabel("D3"), new

GridBagConstraints(0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, GridBagConstraints.NORTHEAST, GridBagConstraints.NONE, new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0), 0, 0));

            layer.setGlassPane(glassPane);
            glassPane.setOpaque(false);
            glassPane.setVisible(true);

            frame.add(layer);

            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.setSize(600, 400);
            frame.setVisible(true);

        }
    });
}

}
