Empty JList will not show

[timmay3141]

I have a JList in an applet that is initially empty but elements are later added. For some reason, the JList is not drawn if it has nothing in it, even if I use setMinimumSize(). As soon as I add an item it magically appears. This is obviously not the desired affect, so how do I fix it?

What version of Java are you using?

Also, Are the other items on the page drawing? If not, did you call setVisible on the Frame

I'm using version 1.4 of Java. All of the other items on the page are being drawn. I forgot to mention that if the JList is shown and I remove all of its elements, it becomes invisible again.

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
public class jl extends Applet
{
Vector v = new Vector();
JList myJL = new JList(v);
public jl() {}
public void init()
{
add(myJL);
setBackground(Color.black);
myJL.setVisible(true);
v.add("@123456789");
myJL.setFixedCellHeight(50);
myJL.setFixedCellWidth(200);
}
public void start()
{
v.remove("@123456789");
}
}
// myJL.setBounds(0,0,50,200); can also shown JList will empty data but you have to setBounds all objects in applet
