hello all,,

need small help:

I have small GUI program: in which component are assembled in following order:

The main JFrame----contains JScrollPane-----Contains JPanel(1)-------Contains JPanel(2):

I have attached the mousemotionListner to JPanel(2): I have implemented paint method for JPanle 2 as:

@Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {

        /*draw the image on this JPanel*/
        g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, display_imageSizeX, display_imageSizeY, this);

        /*set the x,y axis legend*/
        g.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 20));
        g.setColor(Color.yellow);
        g.drawString("Y", 10, 20);
        g.drawString("X", display_imageSizeX - 20, display_imageSizeX - 10);

        /*paint the border for Jpanel*/
        this.paintBorder(g);
    }

Now i want to provide the functionality in which i can dragged the JPanel2 in JscrollPane:::i could able to implement the method but the problem is when i started dragging the JPanel2 1st time it flashes and it appears that JPanel2 is painted two times:although the final result is what i expected (proper dragging is happening, but my problem is with flashing of components)
here is my implementation of dragging

public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me) {

        this.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
        this.jvpLocationPre = this.scrVP.getLocation();
        this.mouseX = me.getX();
        this.mouseY = me.getY();
    }

public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me) {

        /*calculate the new position for viewPort*/
        int newPositionX = this.jvpLocationPre.x + (this.mouseX - me.getX());
        int newPositionY = this.jvpLocationPre.y + (this.mouseY - me.getY());

        //prevent going over the borders. maximum=picture width minus scroll pane view width
        int maxX = this.getWidth() - scrVP.getWidth();
        int maxY = this.getHeight()- scrVP.getHeight();

        if (newPositionX > maxX) {
            newPositionX = maxX;
        }
        if (newPositionY > maxY) {
            newPositionY = maxY;
        }

        if (newPositionX < 0) {
            newPositionX = 0;
        }
        if (newPositionY < 0) {
            newPositionY = 0;
        }

        /*set the new Position for viewPort*/
        scrVP.setViewPosition(new Point(newPositionX, newPositionY));

        /*store the new values as old*/
        this.jvpLocationPre = scrVP.getViewPosition();
    }

any suggestions?

Why is this in MySQL? Moved to Java.

If you want to drag and drop JComponents, you should use the Java drag and drop API.

oh..i didn't noticed that it is mysql:sorry:
well maco thanks for information. i will check java drag and drop option:
but well do you have any idea what could be the reseaon for flashing:

Possibly because repaint() is being called too often. The DnD API is cleaner for a lot of reasons. One of which is b/c it handles the painting, and transfers Objects via serialization. You don't see any real flickering so to speak.

first your paint() shoud call supoer.pant(g)
that will call paintBorder() for you
