Refreshing containers

HiI currently have a JPanel with JLabels in it and I would like the Container to refresh when i push a button because when the button is pushed it adds another JLabel to the Panel, but it does not refresh the container so the new label does not show up..any ideas?

When you add (or remove) a component from a visible panel you need to revalidate() the panel.

> would a call to validate work here?99% of the time validate() and revalidate() are interchangeable. I tend to use revalidate() because it was added when Swing was added to the JDK so I figure it must have been added for some reason.

Thanks. I posted my reply, and then saw that you had posted something different. Given our knowledge gap, I figured that mine was dead wrong and deleted the post. Glad to see that it's at least sometimes right.
