JCombobox containing enum values inside a table
- by Edan
Hello,
I have a class containing Enum with values. (names)
In other class I would like to enter inside a table a cell type of JCombobox that will use these enums values.
my problem is to combain between string values and the enum.
for example the enum class:
enum item_Type {entree, main_Meal, Dessert, Drink}
for example the table class:
setTitle("Add new item" );
setSize(300, 80);
setBackground( Color.gray );
// Create a panel to hold all other components
topPanel = new JPanel();
topPanel.setLayout( new BorderLayout() );
getContentPane().add( topPanel );
//new JComboBox(item_Type.values());
JComboBox aaa = new JComboBox();
aaa = new JComboBox(item_Type.values());
TableColumn sportColumn = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(2);
// Create columns names
String columnNames[] = {"Item Description", "Item Type", "Item Price"};
// Create some data
String dataValues[][] = {{ "0", aaa, "0" }};
// Create a new table instance
table = new JTable( dataValues, columnNames );
// Add the table to a scrolling pane
scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
topPanel.add( scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER );
I know that at the dataValues array I cant use aaa (the enum jcombobox).
How can I do that?
thanks in advance.
