Constructor Details

JComboBox

public JComboBox(ComboBoxModel<E> aModel)
Creates a JComboBox that takes its items from an existing ComboBoxModel. Since the ComboBoxModel is provided, a combo box created using this constructor does not create a default combo box model and may impact how the insert, remove and add methods behave.
Parameters:
aModel - the ComboBoxModel that provides the displayed list of items
See Also:
  • DefaultComboBoxModel

JComboBox

public JComboBox(E[] items)
Creates a JComboBox that contains the elements in the specified array. By default the first item in the array (and therefore the data model) becomes selected.
Parameters:
items - an array of objects to insert into the combo box
See Also:
  • DefaultComboBoxModel

JComboBox

public JComboBox(Vector<E> items)
Creates a JComboBox that contains the elements in the specified Vector. By default the first item in the vector (and therefore the data model) becomes selected.
Parameters:
items - an array of vectors to insert into the combo box
See Also:
  • DefaultComboBoxModel

JComboBox

public JComboBox()
Creates a JComboBox with a default data model. The default data model is an empty list of objects. Use addItem to add items. By default the first item in the data model becomes selected.
See Also:
  • DefaultComboBoxModel

Method Details

installAncestorListener

protected void installAncestorListener()
Registers ancestor listener so that it will receive AncestorEvents when it or any of its ancestors move or are made visible or invisible. Events are also sent when the component or its ancestors are added or removed from the containment hierarchy.

setUI

@BeanProperty(hidden=true, visualUpdate=true, description="The UI object that implements the Component's LookAndFeel.") public void setUI(ComboBoxUI ui)
Sets the L&F object that renders this component.
Parameters:
ui - the ComboBoxUI L&F object
See Also:
  • UIDefaults.getUI(JComponent)

updateUI

public void updateUI()
Resets the UI property to a value from the current look and feel.
Overrides:
updateUI in class JComponent
See Also:
  • JComponent.updateUI()

getUIClassID

@BeanProperty(bound=false) public String getUIClassID()
Returns the name of the L&F class that renders this component.
Overrides:
getUIClassID in class JComponent
Returns:
the string "ComboBoxUI"
See Also:
  • JComponent.getUIClassID()
  • UIDefaults.getUI(JComponent)

getUI

public ComboBoxUI getUI()
Returns the L&F object that renders this component.
Overrides:
getUI in class JComponent
Returns:
the ComboBoxUI object that renders this component

setModel

@BeanProperty(description="Model that the combo box uses to get data to display.") public void setModel(ComboBoxModel<E> aModel)
Sets the data model that the JComboBox uses to obtain the list of items.
Parameters:
aModel - the ComboBoxModel that provides the displayed list of items

getModel

public ComboBoxModel<E> getModel()
Returns the data model currently used by the JComboBox.
Returns:
the ComboBoxModel that provides the displayed list of items

setLightWeightPopupEnabled

@BeanProperty(expert=true, description="Set to <code>false</code> to require heavyweight popups.") public void setLightWeightPopupEnabled(boolean aFlag)
Sets the lightWeightPopupEnabled property, which provides a hint as to whether or not a lightweight Component should be used to contain the JComboBox, versus a heavyweight Component such as a Panel or a Window. The decision of lightweight versus heavyweight is ultimately up to the JComboBox. Lightweight windows are more efficient than heavyweight windows, but lightweight and heavyweight components do not mix well in a GUI. If your application mixes lightweight and heavyweight components, you should disable lightweight popups. The default value for the lightWeightPopupEnabled property is true, unless otherwise specified by the look and feel. Some look and feels always use heavyweight popups, no matter what the value of this property.

See the article Mixing Heavy and Light Components This method fires a property changed event.

Parameters:
aFlag - if true, lightweight popups are desired

isLightWeightPopupEnabled

public boolean isLightWeightPopupEnabled()
Gets the value of the lightWeightPopupEnabled property.
Returns:
the value of the lightWeightPopupEnabled property
See Also:
  • setLightWeightPopupEnabled(boolean)

setEditable

@BeanProperty(preferred=true, description="If true, the user can type a new value in the combo box.") public void setEditable(boolean aFlag)
Determines whether the JComboBox field is editable. An editable JComboBox allows the user to type into the field or selected an item from the list to initialize the field, after which it can be edited. (The editing affects only the field, the list item remains intact.) A non editable JComboBox displays the selected item in the field, but the selection cannot be modified.
Parameters:
aFlag - a boolean value, where true indicates that the field is editable

isEditable

public boolean isEditable()
Returns true if the JComboBox is editable. By default, a combo box is not editable.
Returns:
true if the JComboBox is editable, else false

setMaximumRowCount

@BeanProperty(preferred=true, description="The maximum number of rows the popup should have") public void setMaximumRowCount(int count)
Sets the maximum number of rows the JComboBox displays. If the number of objects in the model is greater than count, the combo box uses a scrollbar.
Parameters:
count - an integer specifying the maximum number of items to display in the list before using a scrollbar

getMaximumRowCount

public int getMaximumRowCount()

setRenderer

@BeanProperty(expert=true, description="The renderer that paints the item selected in the list.") public void setRenderer(ListCellRenderer<? super E> aRenderer)
Sets the renderer that paints the list items and the item selected from the list in the JComboBox field. The renderer is used if the JComboBox is not editable. If it is editable, the editor is used to render and edit the selected item.

The default renderer displays a string or an icon. Other renderers can handle graphic images and composite items.

To display the selected item, aRenderer.getListCellRendererComponent is called, passing the list object and an index of -1.

Parameters:
aRenderer - the ListCellRenderer that displays the selected item
See Also:
  • setEditor(ComboBoxEditor)

getRenderer

public ListCellRenderer<? super E> getRenderer()
Returns the renderer used to display the selected item in the JComboBox field.
Returns:
the ListCellRenderer that displays the selected item.

setEditor

@BeanProperty(expert=true, description="The editor that combo box uses to edit the current value") public void setEditor(ComboBoxEditor anEditor)
Sets the editor used to paint and edit the selected item in the JComboBox field. The editor is used only if the receiving JComboBox is editable. If not editable, the combo box uses the renderer to paint the selected item.
Parameters:
anEditor - the ComboBoxEditor that displays the selected item
See Also:
  • setRenderer(ListCellRenderer)

getEditor

public ComboBoxEditor getEditor()
Returns the editor used to paint and edit the selected item in the JComboBox field.
Returns:
the ComboBoxEditor that displays the selected item

setSelectedItem

@BeanProperty(bound=false, preferred=true, description="Sets the selected item in the JComboBox.") public void setSelectedItem(Object anObject)
Sets the selected item in the combo box display area to the object in the argument. If anObject is in the list, the display area shows anObject selected.

If anObject is not in the list and the combo box is uneditable, it will not change the current selection. For editable combo boxes, the selection will change to anObject.

If this constitutes a change in the selected item, ItemListeners added to the combo box will be notified with one or two ItemEvents. If there is a current selected item, an ItemEvent will be fired and the state change will be ItemEvent.DESELECTED. If anObject is in the list and is not currently selected then an ItemEvent will be fired and the state change will be ItemEvent.SELECTED.

ActionListeners added to the combo box will be notified with an ActionEvent when this method is called.

Parameters:
anObject - the list object to select; use null to clear the selection

getSelectedItem

public Object getSelectedItem()
Returns the current selected item.

If the combo box is editable, then this value may not have been added to the combo box with addItem, insertItemAt or the data constructors.

Returns:
the current selected Object
See Also:
  • setSelectedItem(Object)

setSelectedIndex

@BeanProperty(bound=false, preferred=true, description="The item at index is selected.") public void setSelectedIndex(int anIndex)
Selects the item at index anIndex.
Parameters:
anIndex - an integer specifying the list item to select, where 0 specifies the first item in the list and -1 indicates no selection
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if anIndex < -1 or anIndex is greater than or equal to size

getSelectedIndex

public int getSelectedIndex()
Returns the first item in the list that matches the given item. The result is not always defined if the JComboBox allows selected items that are not in the list. Returns -1 if there is no selected item or if the user specified an item which is not in the list.
Returns:
an integer specifying the currently selected list item, where 0 specifies the first item in the list; or -1 if no item is selected or if the currently selected item is not in the list

getPrototypeDisplayValue

public E getPrototypeDisplayValue()
Returns the "prototypical display" value - an Object used for the calculation of the display height and width.
Returns:
the value of the prototypeDisplayValue property
Since:
1.4
See Also:
  • setPrototypeDisplayValue(E)

setPrototypeDisplayValue

@BeanProperty(visualUpdate=true, description="The display prototype value, used to compute display width and height.") public void setPrototypeDisplayValue(E prototypeDisplayValue)
Sets the prototype display value used to calculate the size of the display for the UI portion.

If a prototype display value is specified, the preferred size of the combo box is calculated by configuring the renderer with the prototype display value and obtaining its preferred size. Specifying the preferred display value is often useful when the combo box will be displaying large amounts of data. If no prototype display value has been specified, the renderer must be configured for each value from the model and its preferred size obtained, which can be relatively expensive.

Parameters:
prototypeDisplayValue - the prototype display value
Since:
1.4
See Also:
  • getPrototypeDisplayValue()

addItem

public void addItem(E item)
Adds an item to the item list. This method works only if the JComboBox uses a mutable data model.

Warning: Focus and keyboard navigation problems may arise if you add duplicate String objects. A workaround is to add new objects instead of String objects and make sure that the toString() method is defined. For example:

  comboBox.addItem(makeObj("Item 1"));
  comboBox.addItem(makeObj("Item 1"));
  ...
  private Object makeObj(final String item)  {
    return new Object() { public String toString() { return item; } };
  }
Parameters:
item - the item to add to the list
See Also:
  • MutableComboBoxModel

setAction

@BeanProperty(visualUpdate=true, description="the Action instance connected with this ActionEvent source") public void setAction(Action a)
Sets the Action for the ActionEvent source. The new Action replaces any previously set Action but does not affect ActionListeners independently added with addActionListener. If the Action is already a registered ActionListener for the ActionEvent source, it is not re-registered.

Setting the Action results in immediately changing all the properties described in Swing Components Supporting Action. Subsequently, the combobox's properties are automatically updated as the Action's properties change.

This method uses three other methods to set and help track the Action's property values. It uses the configurePropertiesFromAction method to immediately change the combobox's properties. To track changes in the Action's property values, this method registers the PropertyChangeListener returned by createActionPropertyChangeListener. The default PropertyChangeListener invokes the actionPropertyChanged method when a property in the Action changes.

Parameters:
a - the Action for the JComboBox, or null.
Since:
1.3
See Also:
  • Action
  • getAction()
  • configurePropertiesFromAction(Action)
  • createActionPropertyChangeListener(Action)
