[vtkusers] Re: Mixing vtk with Swing

[David Marshburn]

hi daniel,

you're right that this is a general problem of mixing heavy- and 
lightweight components.

one solution is to set swing componets to be heavyweight components.  for 
popup menus, for instance, you'd do:

  JPopupMenu.setDefaultLightWeightPopupEnabled(false);

then the drawing order will be correct (and, really, this is only a 
problem with things, like menus, that are supposed to pop up over other 
things).
