Joseph Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 i have an Enum i would like to add into my gui combo box. im to lazy to retype them in a array string. i also no if i do this JComboBox<CraftingTable> craftingTableList = new JComboBox(CraftingTable.values()); i will get all my variable in my Enum in the combo box but the only problem is that they all in caps with and underscore and that looks unprofessional. i also no that you could add JComboBox<String> craftingTableList = new JComboBox(arrayString); and they will be in an the combo box. So i thought maybe if i create a String array method with the names of the Enum i could easly add them in my gui. my Method: public static String[] getAll() { List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(); for (CraftingTable c: values()) if (c!=null) list.add(c.getName()); return (String[]) list.toArray(); } //in my enum this.name = super.name().charAt(0) + super.name().substring(1).toLowerCase().replace("_", " "); my gui: JComboBox<String> craftingTableList = new JComboBox(CraftingTable.getAll()); but it doesnt show anything in my gui. Any way i could do what i want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botre Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) in your enum: @Override public String toString() { return "whatever you want" } Then .values will return "whatever you want". Edited April 5, 2014 by Botrepreneur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
