I have made this:
private JComboBox vehicleType = new JComboBox();
DefaultComboBoxModel<Class> dcbm = new DefaultComboBoxModel<Class>(
new Class[] {Truck.class, Trailer.class, RoadTractor.class, SemiTrailer.class, Van.class, Car.class})
{
@Override
public String getSelectedItem() {
return ((Class<?>)super.getSelectedItem()).getSimpleName();
}
};
And I have obtained this:
How you can see, the selected item show his simple class name, but in the list... doesn't. How I can make this?
JComboBox
uses the toString()
method to get the label, you can override the behavior by implementing a ListCellRenderer
.
vehicleType.setRenderer(new DefaultListCellRenderer() {
@Override
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList<?> list, Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
super.getListCellRendererComponent(list, value, index, isSelected, cellHasFocus);
if(value != null) {
setText(((Class)value).getSimpleName());
}
return this;
}
});
Also if you use this method you should remove the override of getSelectedItem()
in your model as it will interfere with the renderer.
