Active rendering and GUI components

Hello all,
I’ve read this tutorial ( http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/rendering.html ) about active rendering, but I don’t know if any GUI components can still be used in conjunction with active rendering. Can active rendering be only used in full-screen mode or also on a single component in a GUI application window?

As far as I understand, GUI components can’t be used when doing active rendering, because active rendering means bypassing the OS’s GUI control and give it completely to the application.

Please correct me if my understanding is wrong :slight_smile:
