Hi,

after setEditable(false) in a JComboBox, it can't allow to select a
item (display blank).

I'm wondering, how to disable the edit but with select function enabl=

e?

import javax.swing.*;

public class Test {

     public static final void main( String args[] ) throws Exception {
         JComboBox comboBox = new JComboBox(
                 new String[]{"1.", "2.", "3."} );
         comboBox.setEditable( false );
         JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
         frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE );
         frame.setContentPane( comboBox );
         frame.pack();
         frame.setVisible( true );
     }
}

Works for me.

Bye
Michael


Thanks lots, but my case

class MyComboBox extends JComboBox implements ActionListener
{
    MyComboBox()
    {
        addItem("a");
        addItem("b");
        addItem("c");
        setEditable( false );
        addActionListener( this); //line A

    }
}

without line A it works as yours, but with line A, it just couldn't
work (whenever select, it left it blank).

Can you fix it?

try this

public class MyComboBox extends JComboBox implements ActionListener {
    public MyComboBox() {
                addItem("a");
                addItem("b");
                addItem("c");
                setEditable( false );
                addActionListener( this); //line A
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        System.out.println(" this is ugly ");
        this.setForeground(Color.white);
    }
}

I hope this helps
