I didn't see any reference to this in a forum search, so forgive me if this is a repeat. I'm using a JInternalFrame/JDesktopPane in an MDI-like app. I have one palette frame which contains a JPanel and it contains a JLabel being used as a status bar. I'm catching the componentResized event of the frame, and using it to get the text for the status bar. I know this part is working as I'm dumping getText of the JLabel to the console after it's been set with setText(), but it will not update in the window with the new text. I am using a Runnable and passing it to SwingUtilities.invokeLater() to properly handle the update of the component. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Thanks,    More>>
