addItem

public void addItem(Object anObject)

Adds an item to the item list. This method works only if the JComboBox uses a mutable data model.

Warning: Focus and keyboard navigation problems may arise if you add duplicate String objects. A workaround is to add new objects instead of String objects and make sure that the toString() method is defined. For example:

   comboBox.addItem(makeObj("Item 1"));
   comboBox.addItem(makeObj("Item 1"));
   ...
   private Object makeObj(final String item)  {
     return new Object() { public String toString() { return item; } };
   }
 

Parameters:

anObject - the Object to add to the list
