如何将JComboBox与Class值一起使用

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

When filling the comboBox, by default, the toString() method of all elements is called. The toString() method of Class returns the full class Name as explained here . In the getSelectedItem() method, you call getSimpleName() which of course returns the simple name of the class.

To solve your Problem, you need to create a custom list cell renderer , and overwrite getListCellRendererComponent .

您需要创建一个自定义ListCellRenderer 。
