problem with paint() in java

[lemon09]

hi,
Presently I'm facing a new problem with the paint() in java. A call to an object of JPanel which has the paint() overridden does not actually implement the methods declared in paint().
Here's the code

package testzoom;

/**

public class Zoom extends javax.swing.JFrame {

    ImageContainer ic ;
    /** Creates new form Zoom */
    public Zoom() {
        ic = new ImageContainer();
        initComponents();        
    }

    /** This method is called from within the constructor to
     * initialize the form.
     * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is
     * always regenerated by the Form Editor.

        jPanel1 = new javax.swing.JPanel();
        jPanel1.add(ic);

        setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setTitle("Zoom Test");
        setBackground(new java.awt.Color(102, 102, 102));

        jPanel1.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255, 255, 204));
        jPanel1.setBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(3, 3, 3, 3, new java.awt.Color(0, 0, 0)));

        javax.swing.GroupLayout jPanel1Layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(jPanel1);

here I have tried to add the object of ImageContainer to a panel in Zoom...but the panel is not shown;
So can you please help me????

Perhaps my quick glance missed something, but I don't see where you add the JPanel to the content pane of the JFrame.

Don't ever use getGraphics() of a component. Using repaint(0 is the correct way to go.

Well, let me make it a bit clear. Whenever a component is created, by default, the paint() function (which is overridden by your custom class) is called. However in my case, this particular job is an exception. I mean the overridden paint() is not called even if I use repaint(). I tried putting a comment in the paint() to which there is no output.

You might get better help if you post a SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example) that demonstrates the problem. Many members (self included) won't wade through all that IDE generated code and inane comments.
