[JAVA] Update Swing Components

[iamnotwhoisayiam]

Hi there...

Basically what i want to do is have a JPanel that contains a set of JLabels. Each of these JLabels represents something in a LinkedList in another object within the program. Does anyone know how to update the JPanel to reflect the new state of the LinkedList whenever it is changed (note: it doesnt need to have any sort of listener attached to the list, just some way of refreshing what the JPanel displays).

Thanks for any help

It sounds to me like you're making some kind of list containing all items in the LinkedList.

I kinda wonder why you don't use a jList then........

Anywayz, you tried using jFrame.repaint()?

you could also try a jFrame.show()...

(jFrame is the name of your frame, you can probably just use this.repaint() instead)

repaint() and show() i had both tried before.

The way to get it is

jpanel.invalidate();

jpanel.revalidate();

jpanel.repaint();

Which i found after much scouring of the net :D
