need noRepaint() when i validate()

Question

I have a JScrollPane with a View. I'm doing a chat application , it's why i need to have my ScrollBar to the Maximum(). To get the right Maximum of the View i have to validate before. When I validate my ScrollPane an automatic repaint is doing. I don't want this repaint because it makes a double repaint when i set the ScrollBar to the Maximum : when the ScrollBar is at the top and a another when it is a the bottom.

my code :

Main.getWindow().getMainPanel().getScrollPaneCenter().validate();
scrollPaneCenter.getVerticalScrollBar().setValue(scrollPaneCenter.getVerticalScrollBar().getMaximum());

PS : I want to disable the repaint of my conponent or maybe you have a solution to have a reversed JScrollPane( to always have the ScrollBar to Bottom) .

I'm guessing your are using a a JTextArea or JTextPane.

You don't need to validate or set the scrollbar manually. You juat append the text to the bottom of the Document. See Text Area Scrolling for a couple of solutions.
