[jeffbroodwar]

Hi Everyone,

I need to do a program that will display the fields of the database in a combo box. but the problem is, i can't use the manual adding of fields to the combo box like this :

            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("Select * FROM SampleTable");
            rs.first();
            for(int i = 0; i <= 4; i ++)
            {
                jComboBox1.addItem(rs.getString("Name"));
                rs.next();
            }
 

what is need is to bind the combobox to the database... Thanks in advance...

Jeff

hmmm...... it seems no one's answering me.... ok just one question... is it possible to bind swing objects with database like in vb6 we can bind text boxes to the fields of a specific database table (using data control)????

Issue solved....

create a java bean that will expose all the needed parameters for the database connection.


for the easier approach (netbeans users)... wait for the release of netbeans 6.0. Said to be launched in the last quarter of 2007. New features were added including Data binding of database to swing components.
