Considering no one seems to be-able to answer my other thread I'll try simplifying this one.
I have created GUI frame which contains a menubar at the top. I have several methods as well as a method which paints 5 circles onto the frame. When I call that method, by pressing a certain button, it adds the circles to the frame BUT they are only visible when I resize the frame.
Could this have anything to do with the overall layout used in the frame? Here's the code:
JButton paint = new JButton("Paint Circle");
paint.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
MyWidget widget;
widget = new MyWidget();
myFrame.add(widget, BorderLayout.CENTER);
System.out.println("Did it work?");
}
}); // Ends the method attached to the button
myFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JMenuBar north = new JMenuBar();
north.add(text);
north.add(b1);
north.add(generate);
north.add(setEmpty);
north.add(paint);
north.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
myFrame.setJMenuBar(north);
myFrame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
myFrame.setVisible(true);
}Any thoughts anyone?
