Make my code visual editor aware [message #145545]

I've created a class that inherits from JFrame and then overridden the
paintComponent method.
This hidered Visual Editor to correctly displaying the components.
If I comment my custom code on the paintComponent method VE works
correctly.
Is there a way for me to programmatically differentiate whether the code
is being executed by VE or it is actually being run?
Thanks for any assistance.
Best regards,
Silvio Sisto

Sorry for the last post. It was very easy to solve.
I was able to solve the problem by placing a static boolean on my class
and making my main class set it to true.
I made it so that the custom code is only run when this variable is set to
true.

There's an easier official way. java.beans.Beans.isDesignTime() will
return true when running in the VE and false when running in any other
non-design time environment, such as an application.
