JFrame.updateAllUI()

[Peter]

hi all
The function updateAllUI() doesn't not recongize in the JDK1.4 doc.
But it does exist. When i call it after i changed UIManager, it give
me a StackOverflowError

try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new com.incors.plaf.kunststoff.
KunststoffLookAndFeel());
updateAllUI();
} catch (Exception ee) {
ee.printStackTrace();
}

What is the correctly way to update all the components within a
JFrame?
Manually call UpdateUI() on every component is not effectively.

thanks

First, you will need to change *all* instances.

See java.awt.Frame.getFrames()

Then for each of those, call SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI().

Also you'll have to call updateUI for things like popup menus
and (your own) cell renderers, which are not the children of any
component.
