I have a custom component based on the JSlider. It's essentially the same thing only it has 2 thumbs, which I named a DualSlider.
I need to change the maximum value of the slider once in a while, so every time I do, I call updateUI to reflect this.
public void updateUI() {
this.setUI(new DualSliderUI(this));
this.updateLabelUIs();
}
However, the maximum value of the DualSlider when I try to use it is still set at the original value no matter how many times I try to change it while using my program. I can confirm with a few println statements that a new DualSliderUI is being made with the slider that has the new max value, but for whatever reason the original DualSliderUI I initialized the slider with is the one that is in use.
What other things do I have to make sure I do when I update a property so I can avoid this?
