How to getlocalbounds() from component constructor?

General JUCE discussion

Trying to draw two points at either end of a component, however, getLocalBounds().getHeight() returns 0 when called from the constructor. I then tried to call it from the resized() method which works but resets the points’ positions every time I resize the component.

leftPoint.setXY(0, getLocalBounds().getHeight() / 2);
rightPoint.setXY(getLocalBounds().getWidth(), getLocalBounds().getHeight() / 2);

These would be the points’ initial positions, but I can’t initiate them in this position from the constructor.

A component’s bounds aren’t set yet when it is constructed.

You generally do want things’ positions to update from resized(), that’s the whole point…
