an example woud be

Code:

---

contacttable[1,1] = "TLF"

---

In the ddp I want to show: telephone, Fax, Movil
and the values must beTLF, FAX, MOV.

Can you help me?

Why don't you use two combo boxes? I did not understand your problem. As far as i know, a combo box can only show one column.

P.S. Thread is moved to AWT/Swing Forum.

IS this really swing/awt or is this a web application? You don't really say.Can you maybe try to make a little drawing or something to explain better what you want?

I think that you have to use 2 arrays, an array must be the same that you describe and the other should content the values list..

john, you´re right, I did it as you say and worked it!
thanks you
