Hi,

Is there anyway of forcing a panel to repaint straight away? I have 2 panels. When somethign happens on one pannel, I want the other pannel to display the changes.

thanks in advance

You could attempt to use paintImmediately() on the second panel, but
it's probably not wise.

<http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/painting/index.html>
contains very useful info on painting which may be of help to you. But
overall, your best bet is probably to use repaint() on the second panel,
which posts an event to the Event Dispatch Thread to cause a painting to
occur, and the delay won't be long if none of the ongoing events on the
EDT take long to complete.
