Use of Start button's action

[Aga^^]

hi guys i'm a newbie in java and i have a question.

i have 3 class but i used threads in 2 of them.In one class i used run function and in the another one's main used start function.I also used paint and paintComponent function in the class which i used start function. ( i have a user interface in this class )

in paint function i draw a few rectangles and paintCompenent function i added a few rectangles.

what i want is when i clicked the start button : run,start and paintCompenent functions start.

i am waiting your answers, thanks...

Also, why are you using a Thread if all you call run() instead of start()? Why are you using both paint() and paintComponent()? You should only use paintComponent(). You also shouldn't add any Components in paintComponent().

i learned that when i call start(), run() works.

i used both paint() and paintComponent() because, first i drew somethings and program do a few changes so i used paintComponent() to show the changes.

please give me your ideas

Yes, you implement the run() method, but you should never call it. Similarly, you should override the paintComponent() method in order to draw on the component, but you should never call it. Call repaint() instead when things need updating.

ok i got the run() part. But in paintComponent() part, i draw new rectangles in the form how can i implement this?

i wanted to do somethings like, i wrote a paintComponent() there i drew 2 new rectangles and wanted to show them in the form.

at the end when i clicked the start button i want ( if it can ) paintComponent() func runs. ( or you can say me another idea )

in paintComponent() use the drawing methods on the Graphics object as described in the tutorials linked above. If you want to change what is displayed, you will need additional flags that determine what you draw in paintComponent().
