repaint() but no changes until i minimise then maxamise?

[paulbradley]

I have an application where entering certain numbers changes the data held, I had observers looking at these observables and when they are notified they make changes to what is displayed on screen, one of these is some swing graphics. I do a repaint() in the observer but when I run the app nothing happens until i move the window of the screen and back on again. Is there a way of getting it to actually re draw the window so I can see the changes instantly?

Many thanks in advance.

Which control are you actually repainting? You should do that on the top one.
