Adding an array to a combo box

Question

I want to add an array to an existing combobox without passing the array object as a argument in the constructor. Is there perhaps a way to do this by using a method?

Something like the following

Object[] comboBoxDisplay = myAnimals.toArray();
    comboAnimals.add(comboBoxDisplay);

Answer 1

Use a DefaultComboBoxModel to construct the JComboBox it provides an addElement() method.

You'd have to call that from a loop, rather than as a single statement, but then, that's why they pay us 'the big bucks'. ;)
