Hey all,
Long time since ive been here.. heh C++. Anyway, trying to learn swing, i have a menu and a functional item listener to pick up what radio button is selected in a menu. The background is supposed to change colour depending on which radio button is selected. However, mine changes colour for a milisecond, and then back to default.



Thanks for any help .
