Hi, I'm having some trouble trying to get my JComboBox working properly... Basically, I have a JMenuBar with several options, and depending on what the user chooses from that menu, a combo box will be populated with a different string of options. So for example, I have 2 JMenu items: "Cars" and "Animals." Clicking on the "Cars" option will populate a JComboBox with 3 options: "Chevy", "Ford", "Hyundai". Clicking on "Animals" will populate it with "Cat", "Dog", "Bird", "Fish".

How would that be done? I was looking for an example of using the ABstractListModel ant DefaultcomboBoxModel to do this but I couldn't find a whole lot on Google or on the Sun website and I'm not sure where to start. Any help would be great!

Sorry... I posted there first, because I couldn't get to the Java Ranch site when I had this problem. Is there something wrong with getting mutiple opinions on a problem? Java Ranch is always my first choice for getting help with programming problems, as I've been helped several times here -- I just coudn't get to the site the other day. So sorry if I "wasted your time", that wasn't my intention at all. :/

i believe the unofficial policy of the ranch is that we don't care if you post to other forums. We don't want you to post the same question more than once here, however (i.e don't post in "Java in General - Beginners" if you've already posted it in the SWING forum).
