deleting a component.

[sun par]

I am dragging a component from 1 panel to another in my program. As soon as I drop a component in the destination panel i want to delete the component in the source panel.How do I acheive this. I tried doing this

public void dragExit(DragSourceEvent dse)
{
     Object o =dse.getSource();                                          JComponent j=(JComponent)o;
                                            j.setVisible(false);}

But its not working . Can someone help please
Thanks

Try revalidate() or validate() on the container of the component you are trying to delete after you do setVisbile(false);
It might solve your problem.
Thanks,

It does not work, am getting runtime error, the type of component returned is java.awt.dnd.DragSourceContext. so I guess am getting run time error because I am trying to convert it to JComponent.
Just calling setVisible(false) and revalidate() does the job. Thank you.
