Why we dont have JComboBox(ArrayList items)

[Vikas Kumar Sahu]

Hi All,

I have seen JCombobox API and found

JComboBox(Vector items) constructor.
But why we dont have JComboBox(ArrayList items) constructor having array list as argument.

Its ok Vikas..............

But it does take a string array .... right?


To convert a arraylist to string [], do this....

String [] arrayOfServers = (String []) arraylistOfServers.toArray (new String[ arraylistOfServers.size () ]);  

Probably its just bcos we need to do some work!!

Cheers,
Vijay

Thanx Vijay.

Or we can use this constructor
JComboBox(Object[] items) which creates a JComboBox that contains the elements in the specified array.

You might use like this...
JComboBox(urArrayList.toArray())

You will get the same objects inside your JComboBox... To minimize the redundancy, Sun might not include JComboBox(ArrayList items) which can be simulated by the method mentioned above...
