Comments on: Realtime Swing reflections (iTunes ain’t the only kid on the block)! http://blog.palantirtech.com/2007/05/25/reflection/ Articles from the Engineering Group at Palantir Technologies Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:51:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Carl http://blog.palantirtech.com/2007/05/25/reflection/comment-page-1/#comment-49 Carl Fri, 08 Jun 2007 18:33:55 +0000 http://blog.palantirtech.com/?p=51#comment-49 Posting code publicly appears to be a great way to prove that there's always someone who knows more than you out there. :-) Mind you, I still can't find any /eventing/, as your first sentence implies exists. I can see how installing a custom RepaintManager is better -- it should halve the repaint cycles required and doesn't require transparent components. Still, it looks about as much fun as writing my own KeyboardFocusManager. Which is to say not at all. I think until I hit a performance or transparency issue, I'll stick with my bird in the hand.

You can use the RepaintManager to catch repaints and update the reflection. And it works actually better than the approach you highlight here. “There’s no event that fires to report when repaints occur (I suppose Sun engineers figured it was just too likely to be abused)”
