Dear Tor,
I have tried your solution. It works but I have one small problem.
When the user selects a menu option I search the harddisk for a certain
file.
During the search I want to display the directories I'm scanning.
I do this using:
JLabel statusBar = new JLabel();
statusBar.setText("Scanning " + directory.toString());
The problem is that the status bar doesn't display anything at all.
It looks like an update problem.
What am I doing wrong?
Am I forgetting something?
Kind regards,
Sweder Schellens
