JComboBox with different display values for the text and list entrys

843806Feb 20 2009 — edited Mar 5 2009

Hi there,

I want to use special codes for a combobox that represents different entrys.

The goal is to have the drop-down display a description of the codes while the
non-active JComboBox will only display the code (usually a few characters) of the option
after it has been selected.

Tried to implement my own ListCellRenderer but that only works for the ListEntries and i need to change the display value of the
combo box somehow.

How would I do this?

Any hint is appreciated.

Regards

Matt
