Well, the first think you need to do is determine if you want to create an AWT or Swing application. I would suggest using Swing since thats what is current. Swing components have "J" in the name (JButton, JFrame...). Next you read the Swing tutorial which has a section on "How to Use Combo Boxes" which contains a working example.
