One Components into 2 different panel problems

Question

Hi,
I have one component, just call it A, and 2 different
panels just call it PA and PB.
I put A into PA and then I put A into PB,
and display PA & PB into screen together.
The problem is A is missing in PA but displayed
into PB. I know this is behavior of AWT/Swing,
but maybe some of you know how to solve
this problem without creating two instances of A.
Thank you in advance...

Answer 1

You could make something like this:
public class multicomponent
     Vector activecomponents=new Vector
     //all methods you intend to use on this component this way
     public method(somearg arg)
           for //all c in vector
               c.method(arg);
      public void addto(Container co)
           comp=new yourcomponent();
           co.add(comp);
           activecomponents.add(comp);
}You can enhance that by using weak references for the elements in the vector and you will have to think what to do for get methods.
