refresh gui?

[stinkinrich88]

Hello. Say I had a panel that had 6 JButtons on it and half way
through the program I changed it so that there were 8 buttons there,
how to I get the gui to refresh itself so that the button panel apears
normal rather than just a mess?

at the moment the only way I can do it is by resizing the frame a
little

thanks!

That assumes that you won't have problems with your layout manager. You
might have to call pack() as well.
