Fullscreen and Swing

Okay when someone goes about making a fullscreen game, it usually happens like this: wmake full screen mode, decide the display mode, then make a buffer strategy or something. But if you make the fullscreen mode then decide the display mode but then not add not buffer strategy and start threads for that can u use Swing components instead on the fullscreen?

Thanks

Yes, it should work. By default, swing components use passive rendering (that is, the paint() method) to draw themselves on to the screen. You shouldn't have a problem if you have fullscreen mode without the buffer strategy, but with the strategy I think it becomes a little messy. In my game, I've got swing components working together with a VolatileImage on a Canvas and I've had no problems there.

Hmm, okay thanx. So if I made the fullscreen window, I could paint to a JPanel or something right?

I am looking at working with this now and I'm finding that dialog boxes and other pop-up stuff tends to sink the application. Does anyone know any workarounds for this?
