JButton hides in a JFRAME

[thorpe]

I have create an application that is a JFrame I have created a class that extneds Jbutton.

I have added the extended JButton to the Jframe but it hides it only appears if I roolover it or click it.

The JFrame adds the JButton as normal
getContentPane().add(MyButton);

In the JFrame I overide the paint method to draw an image

void paint(Graphics g){
g.drawImage(.........);
}

how can I make the Button appear.

thanks

Could you please post the code of the file. Are u running the setVisible method from within the constructor, or r u not using it at all. Just post the code, and we'll see what can be done about it.

I have managed to figure this out

I was not calling super.paint in the paint method when I did the JButtons painted correctly my backgroud was no long white though.

to solve the white issue in the constructor i called

getContentPane().setBackground(Color.WHITE);

rather than just

setBackground(Color.WHITE);

this seemed to solve my issues but thanks anyway.
I have another issue though which I have posted as another thread. it is regarding the components are coved up if I paint and image in the paint method like

g.DrawImage(..........);
