repainting during mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)

[whodaman]

Hi, let's say I want to draw a rectangle that selects an area. And when the user drags the mouse, I can only draw the rectangle only when the mouse is released. And e.getX() would only get the last value of MouseDragged. How can I fix this?
Pretty much for each value the mouse is draged at, I want to be able to do something.

Thank you

I think I got how to do it. But somehow it seems a little slow : (

Is there a way one can make it refresh faster?

My appologies for confusing everyone...

What's exactly the problem? How about sending me the code?

Well, I just went through my code again and found that it kept calling my function that has lots of computations. Thus it makes it quite slow. It's annoying but it has to do it. Somehow it seems that when I use swing, it is somewhat faster than AWT. I don't know why...

Thanks for your offer anyway : )
