setList is called from the browse window before it calls setVisible(false); ie . this methods gets called when the browse window disappears .. it does all the things in method but does not update it in the MainMenu public void setFileList(){ MainMenu mm= new MainMenu(); mm.setList(java_files); }
list_1 -JList listmodel_1=DefaultListModel
i've tried to refreshing the frame but does not refresh after adding the new list to the Main Window ...
before JList is updated im browsing the the files in another window then it is set to setVisible(false) then MainMenu gets focused and calls the setList method but its not changing
Basically, you are creating a new
JList
and associating your model with it, but this has no effect on theJList
that is on the screen
