Sending Image from Server to Client

[IcyFire]

I made a client server program to send an image from the server to the client. The image is being sent being but its not showing up in client window immediately. If i click send on the server then i minimize (or maximize) the client window then open again the image will show up. But if i just click send and dont do anything to the client window nothing shows up until i resize it in some way. I'm not sure why its not just showing up in the client window. Any help would be really appreciated. thanks

Maybe its because your layout manager isn't updating to include the new JLabel until you force it by re-sizing the window. Try calling revalidate() (and maybe also repaint()) after adding the JLabel

thanks! revalidate() worked! :)

You asked something in IcyFire's post from 3 years ago. It doesn't appear to be an answer but a necropost. Avoid that. Create your own new question.
