Hi I've there a little problem: What I want is to delay the appearance of JLabels in a JDialog-Window, in terms of that the first line of JLabels shoud come out and then two seconds later the second line of Jlabels etc.
I've tried something with Windowlistener,the doClick()-Method etc., bu every time the Jdialog revalidates all of its panels AT ONCE and shows them without any delaying!
Please help me(Just copy the code below and try out)!

This is a really good use case for javax.swing.Timer...
This will allow you to schedule a callback, at a regular interval with which you can perform an action, safely on the UI.
private class WindowHandler extends WindowAdapter {
@Override
public void windowOpened(WindowEvent e) {
System.out.println("...");
Timer timer = new Timer(2000, new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JPanel panel = getPanelFromScreenPanel(1);
panel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
for (int index = 0; index < 100; index++) {
panel.add(new JLabel(Integer.toString(index)), gbc);
}
panel.revalidate();
}
});
timer.start();
timer.setRepeats(false);
}
}
Now, if you wanted to do a series of actions, separated by the interval, you could use a counter to determine the number of "ticks" that have occurred and take appropriate action...
private class WindowHandler extends WindowAdapter {
@Override
public void windowOpened(WindowEvent e) {
System.out.println("...");
Timer timer = new Timer(2000, new ActionListener() {
private int counter = 0;
private int maxActions = 10;
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
switch (counter) {
case 0:
// Action for case 0...
break;
case 1:
// Action for case 1...
break;
.
.
.
}
counter++;
if (counter >= maxActions) {
((Timer)e.getSource()).stop();
}
}
});
timer.start();
}
}
