Is it possible to start JProgressBar from inbetween.I know this is wierd but I need to show the update between 20-80% and the progress bar should be invisible between 0-20% and 80-100% and the number 20 and 80 are run time variables.

The value displayed is dictated by the underlying data model (BoundedRangeModel). You could subclass the DefaultBoundedRangeModel (or create on from scratch by implementing BoundedRangeModel) so that the getExtent() always returns between 20-80%.

The new model can be supplied to JProgressBar via its constructor or setModel method.

  • I tried to access getModel and set the values as 20 and 80 but it creates new problem.Actually it reduces its range to 20-80 and there by to denote 45% complettion it will denote it as 42% which is numerical.What I need is GUI based.To be more specific I am embedding this progress bar inside a JTable cell and paint it in between(20%-80%) the table cell will have any value between 20-80 and I need to paint till that part starting from 20.I am not sure whether its clear but I can explain if you need. – Harish Aug 27 '10 at 10:26
  • @Harish, I've edited my answer. It is a more complicated solution but will give you fine grained control over what the JProgressBar is displaying. – Kris Aug 27 '10 at 10:56
