<div>
Try overriding <b>Component.validate()</b>. It should be called every time the component is resized. Alternatively, you could always calculate the dimension of the meter based on the current size of the component. That way, you can be sure it's correct, every time the component is painted. (It's been a while since I've done stuff with Swing, though.)

I had already been trying, but apparently had some bad code. &nbsp;Also, had to close my the file and recompile..apparently. &nbsp;It seems to be working now.

Responding to Java JComponent extended classes's resize event

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.

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
