private JButton changeColor;
private Color color = Color.lightGray;
private Container c;



public Painter()
{
super( "A simple paint program" );

//c = getContentPane();
//c.setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
//changeColor = new JButton( "Change Color" );
//c.add( changeColor );

getContentPane().add(
new Label( "Drag the mouse to draw" ),
BorderLayout.SOUTH );

addMouseMotionListener(
new MouseMotionAdapter() {
public void mouseDragged( MouseEvent e )

public void ShowColors2()
{
//super( "Using JColorChooser" );

c = getContentPane();
c.setLayout( new FlowLayout() );

changeColor = new JButton( "Change Color" );
changeColor.addActionListener(
new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
{
color =
JColorChooser.showDialog( ShowColors2.this,
"Choose a color", color );

if ( color == null )
color = Color.lightGray;

c.setBackground( color );
c.repaint();
}
}
);
c.add( changeColor );

setSize( 800, 600 );
show();
}





public void paint( Graphics g )
{
g.fillOval( xValue, yValue, 4, 4 );
}

public static void main( String args[] )
{
Painter app = new Painter();

app.addWindowListener(
new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e )
{
System.exit( 0 );
}
}
);
}

}

I think you probaly want to change this line :

color = JColorChooser.showDialog( ShowColors2.this, "Choose a color", color );

to :

color = JColorChooser.showDialog(this, "Choose a color", color );

If this does not work, ask your question in forum269 because this forum isn't used much anymore ...
