There isn't anything you can call on a component that will actually do
what you want in this case.  The change is ultimatly the
responsibility of the layout manager, so doLayout may do the trick. 
This, of course, assumes you are using a non-coordinate based layout
(the behaviour you describe is exactly what something like XYLayout is
supposed to do).

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
