Re: [Microba-controls] Fatal issue with DatePicker and NetBeans' Matisse GUI builder.

[Michael B. <mic...@gm...>]

Witold,

one more thing:
please update the  CalendarPane#updateUi() with this and tell me if if 
fixes the trouble:

public void updateUI() {
        ComponentUI delegate = UIManager.getUI(this);
        if (delegate == null) {
            Microba.init();
            delegate = UIManager.getUI(this);
        }
        setUI(delegate);
        invalidate();
    }
