Adding a background image to a JSpinner
The client wants a background image on the JSpinner so that the numbers are in black but the background is an image rather than a color. I know how to change the background color using the default editor but I don't know how to apply an image.Has anyone done this?
I would need to do the same thing for an jformattedTextField as well but I figure if I can learn to do it for a JSpinner, doing it for the text field would be a piece of cake.

Your right, once you understand the concept its easy to add a background image for any component. So try searching the forum for postings on this topic. There are two general solutions:
a) override paintComponent(...) to draw the image
b) use an custom Border that paints an image as the background

Thanks for the response. Actually after posting the question, I found the information I needed to get me started. I created a class (extending from JFormattedTextField) and overrode the paintComponent method where I drew the image and necessary text.
