Pls Help :- Jpanel doesn't show up.

[Garry Kalra]

I have created a panel and add it to the center of the window and call its show method. In its constructor i have set it visible.
Still the thing doesn't come up automatically until and unless i resize the window. I think some sorts of update is to be called. Can anyone help me with this.

this.invalidate();
getContentPane().add(panel);
this.validate();
this may help you if u trying to add panel in frame.........
or you can do this also
this.invalidate();
getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(panel));
this.validate();

Yeah, most of the times this is because of missing validate() or missing repaint() call after adding/removing the component..I have faced this myself.
