Hello! I am trying to do some painting on a panel used a a canvas with swing. So when a button is pressed, the button is removed from the ContentPane and the Canvas Panel is added. But my frame just wont draw the panel, only remove the button. Only when i resize it the painting appears. I tried calling diffrent methods, but only with setSize(x,x) the Canvas Panel appears. Can anyone help please???? thx martin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
