Hey guys,

I'm having a problem. I want to put an image inside a form in Java and I don't know if I'm using a proper technique (found it somewhere in a web page).

private void iconSelect() {
    String iconString = "";
    if (typeCombobox.getSelectedIndex() == 0) {
        iconString = "LP_";
    } else if (typeCombobox.getSelectedIndex() == 1) {
        iconString = "HP_";
    } else if (typeCombobox.getSelectedIndex() == 2) {
        iconString = "BP_";
    } else if (typeCombobox.getSelectedIndex() == 3) {
        iconString = "BS_";
    }
    if (RB_Gain_Clean.isSelected()) {
        iconString = iconString + "Clean";
    } else if (RB_Gain_dB.isSelected()) {
        iconString = iconString + "dB";
    }

    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("images/" + iconString + ".jpg");
    Image img = icon.getImage();
    if (iconGraphLabel.getWidth() > 0 && iconGraphLabel.getHeight() > 0) {
        img = img.getScaledInstance(iconGraphLabel.getWidth(), iconGraphLabel.getHeight(), java.awt.Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
    }
    icon = new ImageIcon(img);
    iconGraphLabel.setIcon(icon);
}

So it actually shows the image and it is resizing but when I resize my form and then make it smaller again, the label doesn't seem to follow the resizing so it stays bigger than the window.

Also, since I'm not very familiar with java's graphics, can anyone tell me how can I control a window resizing event so I redraw the picture? Right now the method is triggered by the combobox and the radiobuttons shown in the code.

Thanks in advance!
