Flickering JList ListCell

Show all headers | View raw

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
Hi all,

maybe someone has an idea about this one, I'm out.
I'm working on an app with a JList containing images.
On Macs (both Intel and PPC, Java 1.5) the list is continuously
repainted (even when the app is hidden) causing the contents to appear
a flickering mess.
The same program works fine under Windows & Linux; the visible cells
are each rendered once and done.

I've pruned the program down to this 'ere: 10 images named "0.png" up
to "9.png" are loaded from a folder "images/" and displayed in a JList.
The list flickers on a Mac, and not on a Win/Linux-PC.

Any ideas ...??

Gundolf
