Gwt Listbox item reference to an Object

Question

I have got a Listbox and i want to add some Items. There are only methods to add items as a String, but I want add a Item to the Listbox with a String and a reference to an Object. So that, if a item was selected in the Listbox, I get the Object reference too. Otherwise I have always to search with equal for the right Object.

Is there any option therefore?

Answer 1

Try ValueListBox instead of ListBox.

Answer 2

You could store the object in a Map indexed by the value of the item, or in an array or List, at the index of the added item in the list box.
