Dialog wizard flickers

[timasmith]

Hi,

I have a couple of JDialogs which represent my wizard. I use the
follow code to go from the first screen to the second screen.

screen1JDialog.setVisible(false);
screen2JDialog.setVisible(true);

Despite swapping the order I get this horrendous flicker and pause why
it lays out the form.

Perhaps the latter is my responsibility - but is there any way to
prepare the second form and have a nice smooth transition?

thanks

Tim

Why not use just the one JDialog? witch the contents with
javax.swing.OverlayLayout or similar.

Use a card layout an one dialog only.
