how to change combobox's data after change another combobox item selection?

Question

I have a MVC application written in java which has a form with three comboboxes in it. year / month / day and I want to change the number of days if the selection of year and month changed. in my viewer I just define the comboboxes

createComboBoxes( mainContentPage, "combobox name");

in my controller I have :

public class ComboBoxItemListener implements ItemListener
{

private int year=0;
private int month=0;
private int day=0;

public WeatherController c_wc;
@Override
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent event)
{


    JComboBox comboBox = (JComboBox)event.getSource();
    if (event.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED)
    {
                    //this area is my problem
        if(comboBox.getName() == Helper.COMBOBOX_MONTH || comboBox.getName() == Helper.COMBOBOX_YEAR)
        {
                    //definitely this line is not correct
                c_wc.addDaysToComboBox(comboBox, year, month);
                comboBox.setEnabled(true);


        }
        //rest is okay
        switch(comboBox.getName())
        {
            case Helper.COMBOBOX_YEAR:
                year = Integer.parseInt(comboBox.getSelectedItem().toString().trim());

                break;

            case Helper.COMBOBOX_MONTH:
                KeyValue<String, Integer> selectedItem = (KeyValue<String,Integer>)event.getItem();

                month = Integer.parseInt(selectedItem.getValue().toString());
                break;

            case Helper.COMBOBOX_DAY:
                day = Integer.parseInt(comboBox.getSelectedItem().toString().trim());
                break;

            case Helper.COMBOBOX_AIRPORT:
                break;
        }
        System.out.println(year + " " + month + " " + day);
    }
}}

how can I change another component after firing some other event?

Answer 1

You can change the dependent combos' models, as shown in this example.

Alternatively, consider JCalendar.
