Hi I am facing a problem that after changing the title of a titled border on a swing panel i am not being able to call the border's paintBorder(...) function correctly. the border is on the panel and panel.repaint() works perfectly fine but since i am just changing the title of the border i don't want to repaint the whole panel. the problem is that the graphics object being passed is null. i don't even know if i'm calling the function correctly ! i am getting a NullPointerException.
i am calling the function as: myBorder.paintBorder(panel, panel.getGraphics(), 0, 0, panel.getWidth(), panel.getHeight()); // myBorder is attached to panel and the stack trace is: Exception occurred during event dispatching: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.awt.Rectangle.setBounds(Rectangle.java:251) at javax.swing.border.TitledBorder.paintBorder(TitledBorder.java:329) at myui.MyPanel$1.valueChanged(MyPanel.java:50) at javax.swing.DefaultListSelectionModel.fireValueChanged(DefaultListSelectionM odel.java:170) at javax.swing.DefaultListSelectionModel.fireValueChanged(DefaultListSelectionM odel.java:140) at javax.swing.DefaultListSelectionModel.setValueIsAdjusting(DefaultListSelecti onModel.java:507) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTableUI$MouseInputHandler.setValueIsAdjusting(Ba sicTableUI.java:443) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTableUI$MouseInputHandler.mouseReleased(BasicTab leUI.java:486) at java.awt.AWTEventMulticaster.mouseReleased(AWTEventMulticaster.java:231) at java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent(Component.java:3717) at java.awt.Component.processEvent(Component.java:3546) at java.awt.Container.processEvent(Container.java:1164) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Component.java:2595) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:1213) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java:2499) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.retargetMouseEvent(Container.java:2451) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.processMouseEvent(Container.java:2216) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.dispatchEvent(Container.java:2125) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:1200) at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Window.java:912) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java:2499) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:319) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEvent(EventDispatchThread.java:103) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:93) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:84) is there any way i can call this function successfully? or will i have to use panel.repaint()? thanks in advance, jassi _______________________________________________ Advanced-swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/advanced-swing
