So the component will be drawn with the 'new value', rather than with a 'default value' and then redrawn with the 'new value'. Might not be a biggy if the variable doesn't have a huge inpact on the component, but if that particular variable value affects the layout (so the whole component needs to be redrawn) it does. > > And furthermore: > Even private member variables can set this way and even the > constructor can be private.
