displaying frame first

hi everybody,

i wrote an application using swing. it does some initial hard disk browsing

before the user can interact with it. this browsing may take some seconds,

so i wanted to show the frame first, then do the browsing, and after this is finished, update the gui accordingly.

so i wrote s.th like the following:

privatestaticvoid createAndShowGUI(){

MainFrame mainFrame =new MainFrame();

mainFrame.pack();

mainFrame.setVisible(true);

// browsing stuff

..........

}

publicstaticvoid main(String[] args){

javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){

publicvoid run(){

createAndShowGUI();

}

});

}

but the result is that the frame with its frame title is shown, but none of the

components within the frame... oO ?!?

how do i do this right?

thanks in advance for any comments!

well the rest of course is shown as well, but after the stuff is done. so it looks quite nasty for a few seconds...
