IS there any way to make a component not repaint or otherwise make any visual changes until I want it to? For example, when adding stuff to a JTextPane, I don't want it to repaint until all text has been added. Or when changing the contents of a dialog and resizing it, I don't want the frame to repaint during those changes. Any help is welcome Back to top Andrew Thompson Guest Posted: Fri Dec 08, 2006 8:10 am    Post subject: Re: (Swing) Prevent from painting while making changes loquak wrote: ....

A bit of lateral thinking might suggest that this can be achieved by building 'the changes' in a StringBuffer and using .. JTextPane.setText(StringBuffer.toString()) ...(after all text has been added to the StringBuffer).
