setLayout and setVisibile

[Binu K Idicula]

Is there any effect of setLayout after the container setvisble (true) is called ?
In the case of Frame , its default Layout is BorderLayout , so it adds components in that manner unless some other Layout is specified.

that too no effect, after it is displayed.
Is this observation correct ?

I assume that you don't want to change the layout manager, but just want to add say another component to an existing container managed by a layout manager, after setVisible() has been called.
I'm being lazy here and guessing that the validate() method will do the trick. The validate() method causes the layout manager to evaluate the new situation and jiggle the widgets around and redisplay them.
Write a code snippet and test it.
