Populating Swing JComboBox from Enum

Question

I would like to populate a java.swing JComboBox with values from an Enum.

e.g.

public enum Mood { HAPPY, SAD, AWESOME; } 

and have these three values populate a readonly JComboBox.

Thanks!

Answer 1

try:

new JComboBox(Mood.values()); 

Answer 2

If you don't want to (or can't) change initialization with default constructor, then you can use setModel() method:

JComboBox<Mood> comboBox = new JComboBox<>(); comboBox.setModel(new DefaultComboBoxModel<>(Mood.values()));
