Here's the basic tutorial on Comboboxes.

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/combobox.html

Just create your Combobox using the constructor that takes a model as a 
parameter, or set the model using the Combobox method "setModel()"

It really isn't that difficult.  Try it, and if it doesn't work, then 
post your code and we'll help out.

Do not use ComboBoxModel, it work something like as AbstractComboBoxModel,
can do nothing.
Use DefaultComboBoxModel .

  DefaultComboBoxModel defaultComboBoxModelData = new
DefaultComboBoxModel();
  JComboBox jComboBoxData = new JComboBox(defaultComboBoxModelData);
    defaultComboBoxModelData.addElement("hello");
    defaultComboBoxModelData.addElement("heihei");

I think the default model of JComboBox should be DefaultComboBoxModel , that
can make us to write less code.
But java has so many bad "default".

The default model for a JComboBox *is* a DefaultComboBoxModel.

A DefaultComboBoxModel *is* a ComboBoxModel, so if you are using
DefaultComboBoxModel, you are using ComboBoxModel.

The DefaultComboBoxModel may be an appropriate class to use in some
(even many) situations, but it is not always the best class to use.
Without knowing some more details about the application, it is not
possible to say which is the best ComboBoxModel to use.

P.S.  There is no standard "AbstractComboBoxModel" class, but there is
an "AbstractListModel".

I mean ComboBoxModel just work like AbstractComboBoxModel is because
ComboBoxModel just do nothing, act something like "Abstract". In most case,
we have to write a subclass of ComboBoxModel  or just use
DefaultComboBoxModel.

In windows programing, for example, use CBuilder, we can use VCL for simple
application, Windows API for others.
In java programing, there is no choice for simple appliction or not simple.
Most java technical, such as MVC, not good for simple application.
programmer need write more code for simple application than CBuilder/VB.

I think a good way is that sun give some tools good for simple application,
others good for complex application.

for example, In most case, we use JComboBox for add string data and show and
select. Sun can give a new class for this case:


//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------>
public class JSimpleComboBox extends JComboBox {

  public JSimpleComboBox() {
    super(new DefaultComboBoxModel());
  }

  public void addElement(Object obj) {
    DefaultComboBoxModel dataModel = (DefaultComboBoxModel) getModel();
    dataModel.addElement(obj);
  }

}
//<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------

I think in this way, programmer no need to write subclass of ComboBoxModel
each time. It's good for simple application.

I think you have the basic idea, but I have some problems with how you
describe interfaces.  You do not write a *subclass* of ComboBoxModel,
since it is an interface, not an abstract class.  You can *implement*
an interface, not *subclass* it.

There is no need to write a subclass of ComboBoxModel (or of JComboBox)
each time.  I do not see any functionality provided by the above code
that is not provided by the JComboBox superclass.

I should have said: there is no need to *implement* ComboBoxModel.
