In wrote a Java 2 application (in fact a JPanel) collection some info from CD's (title, path, zippath, filename) and record this info into a MS Access database. No problem ... Afterwards I changed the application by adding some feedback (nb dirs/files) by adding a Thread try { engine.sleep(1000); catch (...) { } tfCount.setText(...); this.repaint(); but the JPänel is not repainted ... The only way to get feedback is replacing the "repaint"-statement by Graphics g = this.getGraphics(); this.paint(g); Is this the right way - or - how can repaint the JPanel by the "repaint"-statement ?
