How to change selection listener in JComboBox

Question

I'm trying to get an event to fire whenever a choice is made from a JComboBox.

The problem I'm having is that there is no obvious addSelectionListener() method.

I've tried to use actionPerformed() but it never fires.

Short of overriding the model for the JComboBox I'm out of ideas.

How do I get notified of a selection change on a JComboBox?

Answer 1

It should respond to ActionListeners, like this:

combo.addActionListener (new ActionListener () {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        doSomething();
    }
});
