<div>
Try and invoke the panel's paintAll() method. This will repaint<br />
the panel, along with all of its components. This will hopefully<br />
update the window. Also try to see if repaint will work. <br />
<br />
If the code is not too big, you might want to mail us the panel<br />
containing the info. <br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a dialog that contains a panel with a CardLayout. &nbsp;This panel contains two child panels that I need to be able to switch between upon pressing a dialog button. &nbsp;However, when I call CardLayout.show() in the button's &quot;action performed&quot; handler, nothing (visual) happens! &nbsp;Only after<br />
the event handler exits does the display get updated with the selected card. &nbsp;This is a real problem, because the event handler performs a task that may take several seconds, and the card I'm trying to switch to is supposed to show a progress bar for the task.<br />
<br />
Is there any way to get the card layout to update the display immediately from inside the event handler??? &nbsp;I'm using JDK 1.1.6 with Swing components on WinNT 4.0 with JBuilder2.<br />
<br />
I've wasted a lot of time trying to find a workaround, but so far I've come up empty handed. &nbsp;PLEASE HELP!!<br />

CardLayout not updating display of card until event handler exits

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
