Hi, I have created combobox of MyClass items, each item has attribute "name", which is being displayed in combobox via renderer. My problem is, that I am getting null when I call

combobox.getSelectedItem().getValue();

its null. But when I call

combobox.getSelectedIndex();

i get the proper index of selected item.

This is way, I create combobox:

Combobox combobox = new Combobox();
MyRenderer myRenderer = new MyRenderer();
combobox.setItemRenderer(myRenderer);
combobox.setModel(new ListModelList<MyClass>(myClassList));

MyRenderer class:

public class MyRenderer implements ComboitemRenderer {

    public void render(Comboitem item, Object data, int index) throws Exception {
        item.setLabel(((MyClass) data).getName());
    }
}

Can someone please explain me, where could be possible problem, or how to get selected item from combobox properly?

Thx.

Try this because you have an model behind the combobox.

combobox.getModel().getSelection();

hmm, when i write combobox.getModel() i dont have method getSelection() in possible methods list.

now i noticed that something is wrong with myRenderer...because when i dont use it i can get selected item without problems... but in such case items in combobox are not showing in readable format (just in string value of MyClass object, not name attribute)

cast your model to ListModelList and you have the method. When you don't see the name your renderer isn't applied Try invalidate the combobox
