Hi,
I've created an label with an image and what i want is that when i click on a button the image shows up and disappears after x seconds.
I'm not sure if i should use new Thread or Timer/TimerTask for this.
and i'm not sure how to paint something in the image that also dissapears at the same time the image disappears.
any tips? don't need code.

You know the drill here: people who ask for code don't get it...

Try this:
import java.net.URL;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ButtonDemo {
public ButtonDemo(long wait) throws Exception {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Testing...");
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(new URL("http://www.officenet.no/www/image.do?id=1999"));
frame.add(new VanishImageButton("Duke", icon, wait));
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.pack();
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
new ButtonDemo(2000);
}
class VanishImageButton extends JButton implements Runnable {
private long ms;
public VanishImageButton(String title, ImageIcon icon, long ms) {
super(title, icon);
this.ms = ms;
(new Thread(this)).start();
}
public void run() {
try {
Thread.sleep(ms);
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
// ...
} finally {
super.setIcon(null);
}
}
}
}
