I may have had the same problem. I tried a JComboBox on both a BevelPanel
and a
JPanel and it didn't respond to either a manual dropdown click or showPopup
in code, although I knew that the ComboBoxModel was successfully adding the
items. I had the panels on the Decorated Frame using the BorderLayout which
JBuilder generates when adding the menubar, statusbar and toolbar (in
response to the check boxes when creating a new application.) I tried
putting a JComboBox in a bare-bones test app and it worked fine. I noticed
that its height constraint was set to -1 and that it was on a JFrame. I was
able to get the JComboBox to work on my original app by extending from
JFrame and using the XYLayout. The JPanel (also using the XYLayout) is added
to the JFrame, with the JComboBox added to the JPanel. There may be an
easier way, but it works for now. Hope this helps.
