GUI standard problem...

Question

i have a Jframe containing nested jsplitpane's divided as follows:
| | |
| |____|
| | |
|__|____|
the left JSplit pane consists of the a JTree inside a JScrollPane and the right JPlitPane. The right JSplitPane consists of a JList in a JScrollPane in the top and a JTextPane in a JScrollPane in the bottom. On clicking an element in the JTree the JList alters and on clicking an element in the JList the JTextPane alters. the problem i have that when altering the JTextPane with the following code:
textPane = new JTextPane("SOME TEXT");
bottomRightScrollPane = new JScrollPane(textPane);
the JTextPane does not update. I have gone through the root of re-adding all of the 3 components to the JFrame and then calling setVisible(true) which works, but it makes the GUI blink and i am sure there is a clearer, better, easier way of doing this. I have also tried the random adding of repaint() to every component i could find but again to no avail, Any help would be greatly appreciated as to how i can get the bottom right JScrollPane to show the update JTextPane. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

thanks again, the setDocument method does work, but unforutnatley i have mouseListeners and hyperlink listeners in the pane that i am overwrtiing the old pane with. Is there anyway to transfer these as well?
I tried using the revalidate method on the JScrollPane the text pane is in, the textpane itself, the splitpane the scroll pane is in and the split pane the splitpane is in. i also tried doing all of these at the same time but this didn't seem to do anything. Thanks again, if there is no easy solution do not worry since i can use the setVisible() method i have been using as it does the job, if in a somewhat ugly fashion.
