Class KeyedComboBoxModel<K,​V>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ComboBoxModel, ListModel

    public class KeyedComboBoxModel<K,​V>
    extends Object
    implements ComboBoxModel
    The KeyedComboBox model allows to define an internal key (the data element) for every entry in the model.

    This class is usefull in all cases, where the public text differs from the internal view on the data. A separation between presentation data and processing data is a prequesite for localizing combobox entries. This model does not allow selected elements, which are not in the list of valid elements.
