Detect text overflow in JButton

Question

I am trying to detect whether the text of a JButton fits within the current width, and doesn't overflow like this:

Is this possible, if so how?

How about: if(getPrefferredSize().width > getSize().width)? — Rahul Tripathi

You can try to check it like this:

if (myBtn.getPreferredSize().width > myBtn.getSize().width)

Should be getPreferredSize()

@OrangePeel:- Indeed, a typo. Fixed that!
