hi guys

Code:

public void run() 
{
            int x = 10; int y = 10;
            while (true) 
            {
     label.setText("DATA");           
label.setBounds(x, y, 200, 10);

                if(y == 250 && x != 250) x+=5;
                else if(x == 250){
                    y -= 5;
                    if( y == 10) break;
                }
                else y +=5;
                }
}

Based on the part of my program i want the animation of 'label" to adjust to window screen size..
how can i do that..

So instead of moving the JLabel you want to adjust the window size right? (By the way i didn't see the label move untill i added

Code:

try {
                sleep(10);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();  
            }

Otherwise the label goes straight to it's final position from the start.

Back to the window screen size issue:

Code:

SwingUtilities.getRoot(label).setSize(x,y);

All you need

The x,y loop is not infinite, yet the thread will keep running. It's probably better to do while(boolean) and then check inside if x and y is at it's final position, then set the boolean to false.
