I got this from http://www.javaranch.com/maha/_Mock_Exams/MindQ_s_Sun_Certified_Java_Programmer_Practice_Test.htm Question #56 56. Which of the following describe the sequence of method calls that result in a component being redrawn? a) invoke paint() directly b) invoke update which calls paint() c) invoke repaint() which invokes update(), which in turn invokes paint() d) invoke repaint() which invokes paint directly The given answer is C. I might be wrong on this one, but isn't A and B correct also. C is the preferred method of doing it, but can't you call the update() method or the paint() method also which will redraw the component. Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill, Think you're right. You can call update() and paint() directly although it's not recommended. He uses 'sequence of method calls' in the question. Probably trying to make the point that calling repaint() is the acceptable call which sets off the proper sequence. Jane
