🚀 go-pugleaf

so how can i do that....  i have it set up as follows

StandardComboBoxModel mLightsComboBoxModel = new StandardComboBoxModel();

StandardComboBox lightsComboBox = new StandardComboBox
                (mLightsDisplayController.getLightsOptions());


// find the current value....
mLightsComboBoxModel.setSelectItem(mLightsDisplayController.getSelectedLight
Colour());

so if i get the text 'red' back, i would like this to be displayed in RED,
green in GREEN etc....


ps.... mLightsDisplayController is an instance of a class
LightsDisplayController
   ......getLightsOptions() populates the combobox with an array of objects
(RED, AMBER, GREEN)
    .....getSelectedLightColour() gets the current value selected

hope someone can shed some 'light' on this for me

thanks
Martin
