I am trying to combine 2 jcomboboxes. 1 combobox is intended for displaying a category of expenses. and the second combobox is reading a file from a text file to display product types. If I changed the first combobox, I would like the second combobox to change depending on which user selects the first.
Is it possible that I can load another command with a list of text files? These subelements will not be arrays, but the same as before, as they are at the bottom of the code for cboperson.
edited code:
private JComboBox cboCategory;
private JComboBox cboPerson;
private JComboBox cboItem;
public String itemChange = "groceries.txt";
public ExpenditureTracker() {......
String[] items = {"Select Item", "Groceries", "Bills", "Travelling", "Leasure", "Other"};
mainComboBox = new JComboBox(items);
mainComboBox.addActionListener(this);
mainComboBox.addItemListener(this);
mainComboBox.setBounds(113, 138, 85, 20);
importPanel.add(mainComboBox);
subComboBox = new JComboBox();
subComboBox.setPrototypeDisplayValue("XXXXXXXXXX");
subComboBox.addItemListener(this);
subComboBox.setBounds(113, 188, 85, 20);
importPanel.add(subComboBox);
String[] subItems1 = {"Select Color", "Red", "Blue", "Green"};
subItems.put(items[1], subItems1);
String[] subItems2 = {"Select Shape", "Circle", "Square", "Triangle"};
subItems.put(items[2], subItems2);
String[] subItems3 = {"Select Fruit", "Apple", "Orange", "Banana"};
subItems.put(items[3], subItems3);
String[] subItems4 = {"Select Fruit", "Apple", "Orange", "Banana"};
subItems.put(items[4], subItems3);
String[] subItems5 = {"Select Fruit", "Apple", "Orange", "Banana"};
subItems.put(items[5], subItems3);
loadDataTocboPerson();
}
private void loadDataToCboPerson() {
Scanner fileReader = new Scanner(getClass().getResourceAsStream(
itemChange));
try {
DefaultComboBoxModel model = new DefaultComboBoxModel();
while (fileReader.hasNextLine()) {
model.addElement(fileReader.nextLine());
}
cboItem.setModel(model);
} finally {
fileReader.close();
}
}
