To get the input from a combo box in Java, you can use the getSelectedItem()
method of the JComboBox
class. This method returns the selected item in the combo box as an object, which you can then cast to the appropriate type.
Here's an example of how you can get the input from a combo box in Java:
import javax.swing.JComboBox; // ... JComboBox<String> comboBox = new JComboBox<>(); comboBox.addItem("Option 1"); comboBox.addItem("Option 2"); comboBox.addItem("Option 3"); String selectedOption = (String) comboBox.getSelectedItem();
In this example, the comboBox
object represents a combo box component, and the selectedOption
variable holds the selected option as a string.
It's important to note that the getSelectedItem()
method returns null
if no item is selected. You should handle this case appropriately in your code.
