How to “do something” on Swing component resizing?

Question

I\'ve a class which extends JPanel. I overwrote protected void paintComponent(Graphics g).

There is a variable which has to be recalculate

Answer 1

I suppose you could override the various setSize and resize methods and perform the calculation there. However, you may not find all the places where the size can be changed. You may want to have your class implement ComponentListener and simply listen to itself for resize events.

public class MyJPanel extends JPanel implements ComponentListener {

    public MyJPanel() {
        this.addComponentListener(this);
    }

    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        // Paint, paint, paint...
    }

    public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {
        // Perform calculation here
    }

    public void componentHidden(ComponentEvent e) {}

    public void componentMoved(ComponentEvent e) {}

    public void componentShown(ComponentEvent e) {}

}
