Fire stateChanged event on JTabbedPane

Question

I have JTabbedPane with fade animation, which is performed when user clicks tabs. To handle animation I override stateChanged method.

public class A         


        

Answer 1

I found the real reason of my problem.

It was the thread problem, not the animation itself. I was calling setSelectedIndex outside EDT so my JTabbedPane was updated instantly and then the animation from EDT was performed.

The anserw is:

public void setSelectedTab(final int tab) throws InterruptedException, InvocationTargetException{
    if(!SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread()){
        SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                animatedTabbedPane.setSelectedIndex(tab);
            }
        });
    }
    else
        animatedTabbedPane.setSelectedIndex(tab);
}

Changing tabs inside EDT doesn't couse unwanted flash anymore.
