I've problem with a JComboBox SelectedItem can someone help me ?
I've implemented a GUI window where are a various textfield and one JComboBox. When I click button, code must create an Object with the strings of the textfield and string of ComboBox, but I've a NullPointerExceptionin SelectedItem... The code to get is :
(String)combo.getSelectedItem()
I tried too:
combo.getSelectedItem().toString()
but don't work !
I don't know if I need a ActionListener but think it's not required.
you can get the jcombox selected items like this.
String item = jcombox.getSelectedItem().toString ();
I Placed this code on onclick event of a button and it worked.

I've created a JComboBox and when I choose an option from the combo box I want to add another combo box (for choosing more specific details) for the selected option. Is this possible?
I've tried creating another JComboBox in the original combo box's actionPerformed class, but I didn't solve the problem.
The result should look something like this:
Regarding adding a new JComboBox: Rather than actionPerformed try with JComboBox.addItemListener(ItemEvent). This is the right place to get the selected item and therefore to create and populate a new JComboBox with details you want to include.
Here a link to a demo project in GitHub
I want to create a multi select list with Jcombobox displaying object of my custom class. Initially i thought i will write a renderer and and paint a jcheckbox inside it so that user will be able to select multiple items. I also looked on internet for such type of implementations. My problem is when user selects multiple checkbox, jcombobox shows only the last selected checkbox item value as its label. I wanted in this way
Checkbox item1, Checkbox item2
Or item1, item2 can also suffice my requirement.
Also when i ask for selected items i should get both selected items.
Please help me with this.
Thanks in advance.
ComboBox cmbCategory, cmbType;
I have two ComboBoxes. The 2nd ComboBox depends on the first ComboBox.
For example.
If I chose "Food" on cmbCategory, the choices on cmbType would be "desert, appetizer..")
How will I do that without clicking a button. I mean when "Food" is chosen on cmbCategory, the choices for food on cmbType would showed up automatically without clicking a button. Because what I have come up to is that my cmbType is hidden and when a button is clicked, then that's the time it will be visible.
I believe this is about MouseListener or MouseClicked but I have no idea on how to do it.
You can add an ActionListener to the cmbCategory. On select call getSelectedItem() to get category.
Define a Map> the map should keep the list f items for each category. Fill the map (or you can define some logic to get list of types by selected category). Then just remove all the existing items in cmbType and add new list of types for the selected category.

how can I create (with JAVA) Combobox that contains Checkboxes for multiple selection and display the selected items in the Combobox like this picture:
click to see the pic
and thnx for advance.
EDIT:
I found this API (JAPURA API) and it's great but when I select multiple things I want to display the selected items instead of "* multiple items *".
Here's the link to achieve your goal:
JComboBox Providing a Custom Renderer
I would suggest you create a JButton and style it in the form of a Combobox if you want that.
Then, at the onclick function (actionperformed), you create a JPanel and make it visible under the button. In the panel, you can put whatever you want, so you just put checkboxes there.
I know this is kind of a workaround of your problem, but it should be easy for you to do so, and the actual user does not see a difference at all.
Hope I could help you.
Cheers,

is their any way to set text for a combo box, which is not an element of the combobox.
cboSubjects=new JComboBox();
cbo.addItem("Maths"); // and few more subjects are added
cbo.setSelectedItem("subjects"); // this does not set the default text of combobox
Is their any way to solve this problem ? I need something which works like combobox.text
property of combobox in visual basic
I am working on school management system. I need help.
I'd like to show you a possible alternative :)
Note, you need to call label.setDisplayedMnemonic('s'); and label.setLabelFor(combo) to complete the effect!
You can make jComboBox editable, cbo.setEditable(true);, and after that set the text you want: cbo.setSelectedItem("subjects");
