I suggest using invokeAndWait() api of SwingUtilities to perform these kinds of updates on GUI.

This api will ensure that your program waits, till the time your

SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);

is performed.

How to do that? can you post a sample?

I suspect that this advice, while completely correct and commendable, is way over the OP's head. Perhaps the problem can be solved (for now) by calling validate() on the component after the contents are changed but before the option pane is popped.

can you post a simple sample using invokeAndWait() and validate() inside jbutton? plss . help i need it.
