Ah, found my problem<br />
<br />
I missed this line in the documentation:<br />
<br />
For performance reasons, Components with zero width or height aren't considered to need painting when they are first shown, and also aren't considered to need repair<br />
<br />
Maybe I didn't make the question quite clear enough, but I wanted an answer which included all the small things like making the component visible and things like that<br />
<br />
Thanks anyway :)

Hi all,<br />
<br />
What's the minimum I need to do to a get a Container to display a Component?<br />
<br />
If it depends on a lot of things, then I'll give more details, but I think my problem is just a basic misunderstanding of the concept of drawing things

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.
