[BBB-USERS] Re: Binding a JComboBox

["Rom Yatziv" <ryatziv@entertainmentpartners.com>]

I understand the principle, but do you have a code sample, by chance?

        BeanProperty cboBoxProp =
BeanProperty.create("selectedItem.code");
        BeanProperty beanOneProp = BeanProperty.create("status");
        Binding b =
Bindings.createAutoBinding(AutoBinding.UpdateStrategy.READ_WRITE,
statusBox, cboBoxProp, beanOne,  beanOneProp);
        b.bind();

This is what I have currently.  There are two problems with this:
1) the bind() call reads the combo box and sets the value on the bean...
I need it to go from the bean to the box.
2) Setting the value on the bean does not affect the box.  The bean
fires propertyChange events, and is otherwise bound to other widgets
property.

Hi Rom

You need read-write binding between "combobox.selectedItem.reference"
and "beanOne.bean2reference"

Regarding the display, you need to change the renderer of combobox by
calling combobox.setRenderer.

If you need to input the description you have to call setEditor and
pass a customized editor and (it gets complicated...  there is a need a
bi-di map between ref and desc).

Good luck
