I've changed it so for the above example I just put <br />
<br />
int number = (ansBox.getSelectedIndex()<wbr />+1);<br />
<br />
but is there a better way?

how can you get an int value from a combo box?<br />
<br />
I tried this:<br />
<br />
final JComboBox ansBox= new JComboBox();<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;// populate the combo box<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;for (int i=1; i&lt;=10; i++) {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;ansBox.addItem(&quot;&quot;+i);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;}<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;ansBox.setSelectedIndex(0)<wbr />;<br />
<br />
then when trying to get the value back out I did:<br />
<br />
int number = ((Integer) ansBox.getSelectedItem()).<wbr />intValue()<wbr />;<br />
.....<br />
<br />
but it complains, how do you do it properly?!<br />
<br />

Swing combobox question

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
